I tasted some yogurt that was very sour. Normally I like plain yogurt, but this was an 8 on the sour scale. It made me shiver. “Somebody give that goat a better life,” I said. “Pet her head and feed her a carrot. At least the green top of a carrot.” The goat was very… Read More »
Thinking about the airbnbs we have known. Our first time was back when we visited Olympia, Washington six and a half years ago. We got the small studio apartment of a flight attendant. The idea was that she rented out her space to people while she was elsewhere. The apartment building felt sketch, and I… Read More »
“Hey, lover. I need to tell you something,” I said to Ming, thinking about almond butter. “There’s something I told you before, but now it changed, so it’s no longer true. You wanna hear what I’m talking about?” “Sure,” he said. We were out in the driveway, and it was dusky out. I wanted to… Read More »

Hey, guess what? I made some spicy crunchy garlic tofu. Wow, it was Korean, vegan, and delicious. Let me tell you how it came about. I semi-accidentally watched a cooking video on youtube. Recipe looked delicious and very possible to make. Lately I’m studying Korean language a lil bit, and google gods or youtube gods… Read More »
I took a sweet potato out of its bag and wanted to receive a phone call. It reminded me of a banana phone! Then I was laughing about banana phones, and laughing about banana vs sweet potato. Yes, what an epic rap battle that would be. They’re both sweet, have fiber and vitamins, and are… Read More »
Ming got a winco cheese pizza, seven bucks, so I put some sliced thin bell pepper and half my veggie sausage. Pizza mandala! He liked it. And it was pretty. Here’s how it looked when I pulled it out of the oven. Ming had checked it a couple times and said it looked pale. So… Read More »
