After a month incubating, I finished and pressed "chicken garum." It's funky and chicken-y and very reminiscent of soy sauce. I'm excited to experiment with it.
Following the Noma guide barley koji and roasted chicken with water and salt were held at 140ºF for a month.

Why doesn't Arena let you look at the top cards of your library after you choose to mulligan? If I don't know if I made the right choice how am I ever going to get better?

I'd love to give the fancy new Powered Cube on Arena a try but cannot download Arena because I can't log into the Epic Games Store, and there's apparently zero way to get support.
Isn't that funny!
I love how broken all tech is and being constantly directed to talk to chatbots!

Exactly one year ago I started this jar of garlic misozuke from a recipe in Flavorama. Gonna blame Arielle Johnson for this fermentation rabbit hole I've fallen in.

After about three months fermenting I strained and pressed this rice wine. It's interesting. Boozy and funky. Reminds me most of Koream makgeolli. But I'll just call it "Baltimore home style rice wine." Can't be more than one weirdo in this city growing koji in their basement so probably accurate?

So I think I've committed to making "cicada garum" at the next opportunity. 2030 might be a weird year for me.

Checking in on my first batches of miso I started about six months ago. Calling this a success! I'm going to give them some more time but confident about starting some more, and bigger batches so I can share.

Starting my most intense fermentation project so far. I'm only a little bit nervous, but my DIY fermentation chamber is running smoothly and koji growing for "chicken garum" went great. Will check back in a month!

Ok, NOW I'm regretting a little bit not making it to CubeCon this year. Why am I such a magpie when it comes to trophy pins?
Here's a sneak peak at our trophy pins this year at #CubeCon Now with more✨sparkle✨
See y'all Thursday!

Honored to be on Lords of Limited this week, talking about how to approach drafting unfamiliar Cubes!
Had a blast getting to sit down as long-time-listener-first-time-chatter with @andy.luckypaper.co and @anthony.luckypaper.co to chat winning at new cubes, just in time for cubecon this weekend!

Been too long since I made a good bowl of ramen: home made noodles, pork, bamboo shoots, and a couple come made pickles - soy mushrooms, zucchini, and turnips. The pickles are a nice bright contrast to a rich dish.

Doing some big cooking projects this last week: carrot cake which came out looking pretty tidy, steamed buns with two fillings as a snack for the cube crew, and an enormous lasagna and snack situation.

Had such a blast at Capital Cube Championships this year, and I'm so excited to add this shiny Top 8 pin to my collection! This is how you bait me into playing three drafts in 1 day.

Had a great time talking about Cube on Untapped Libraries. I feel like I can get in the weeds with fellow cube heads sometimes and it was refreshing to step back and talk about my favorite way to play Magic in a broader way.

Bo ssam, momofuku style. Finally getting some results from the fermentation station, making a pumpkin seed miso sauce and home made kimchi

The fermentation will continue until morale improves.
Doing some tasting, mixing, and cleaning. Mostly things are coming along well! The misos started back in May are developing particularly well. I'm learning a lot.

Experimenting with trying to make a rice wine. First koji was cultured on rice, then mixed with more cooked rice and water, held in a hot water bath for a day to sweeten. Finally inoculated with yeast and airlocked
At the least hopefully I'll make some rice vinegar and have lees for pickle projects

Started my second batch of shoyu, using yellow peas and oats as an experiment. It's interesting to see side by side with the batch started over a month ago which is well on its way.

Made some pretty good pork chops for dinner last night, along with some sourdough. Best part was the quick sauce from deglazing the garlic, herb, and butter baste with rice wine.

Spent a long weekend in a cabin with 7 friends drafting 8 cubes. My cube highlight was drafting this brutal control deck, getting another 3-0 in 100 Ornithopters, and winning this sick trophy pin, hand-made by @andy.luckypaper.co

Also a Cube, that's kind of obligatory.

Adding veggie spring rolls to my list of go-to's to bring to a party. They're easy to make and eat, tasty, fit most diets, and boy do I love just julienning a big pile of vegetables.
