If you live near an asian store like Daiso, they have little egg timers that go right in the boiling water and change color to help get the eggs just how you like them. I still struggle with peeling soft boiled eggs reliably, but this gets them cooked perfect.

While this account will remain primarily focused on soup, I do enjoy salads as well, and have been eating a lot lately. So tonight we made croutons from homemade Italian sweet bread and garlic. They came out really crunchy!

When I was a kid, we had the same mercury thermometer for decades. New digital thermometers are basically disposable, using a tiny watch battery less than 8mm across. If someone in your family gets sick, sorry, the battery's dead. Have fun chasing around town for an LR41 watch battery.

This brass Assistance Buzzer plaque with engraved braille is fun because they removed the buzzer button but left the classy signage behind. Made you look!

The guy at the Albany train station is a super nice dude, but i don't understand why these haven't been fixed for over a year. I love rail transit, but what a mess when the train is 2 hours and 40 minutes late. The snack machine is also broken.

Philips Norelco says their new shaver is Powered by AI, and this is only slightly less dumb than the cartoon about AI peas. Presumably John's goal here is to have his face shaved, which he can either track on his phone, or using the more traditional technique of just look in the mirror, John.

If you didn't get your hands on Tillamook Butternaise, you can just mix butter and Kewpie mayonnaise in a little bowl before you spread it on the bread. It works great!

I don't keep roosters any more, although some of my neighbors do. But back in the day, this gorgeous boy Kaʻeo looked after my flock on Maui. #chickens
