It gives a good perspective of what you’re likely to see from your window

Korean Kimchi Flavor

Ranking: B-

A perfectly okay chip. Tastes like kimchi, though a bit sweeter, and with pretty much no funk. Like, they weren’t really willing to commit to the idea.

The Midtown neighborhood in Reno is very much trying to be like Austin’s South Congress/South Lamar.

It's only regime change if it comes from the Regimé region of France. Otherwise it's just sparkling overthrow.

Blooming “century plant” spotted in Oakland. Whiteboard (and alt text) explains what’s in process. Pretty cool!

Sizzling Artificial Squid Flavor

Ranking: B-

A pretty good chip. No real squid flavor, just a kind of seasoned salt with funk flavor. It has some heat-spice (I guess that’s ‘sizzling’).

Straight up potato chip (instead of thick ridged) would have worked better.

Tonight's cocktail: El Presidente
There are a bunch of variations, mine, which was delicious:
1.5 oz white Caribbean rum .
75 oz Dolin blanc vermouth (*not* dry)
.25 oz Dry Curacao
'bar spoon' Grenadine
stir with ice, serve in coupe, with orange peel and brandied cherry garnish.

You know time is subjective, because this year, everyday feels like forever, but somehow 3 months have passed and I feel like nothing has happened.

Pepper and Artificial Fried Chicken flavor

Ranking: B

A perfectly fine chip. Not much pepper. Definitely some fried chicken savoriness. These Deep Ridged chips come across as a little thick/stale.

Italian Red Meat Flavor

Rank: B-

Pretty good, basic chip. Definitely tomato flavor, not too sweet. Not getting the ‘red meat’-ness, no real umami.
