I first learned about Baked Alaska from the Sims 2. Your sim could study culinary arts and this was one of the higher level dishes. I finally decided to give it a try.

Heavily inspired by Masterclass, I attempted a Kransekake for this year’s holiday treat. I owe my success to an inexpensive sausage stuffer that helped me create uniform rings and made it a breeze to bake and assemble. I decorated it with candied cranberries and rosemary.

A moody, muddy morning.

I built a Slack app that asks your workspace channel a random question every weekday. Members can submit questions via a Slack command if they wish. It’s great for ice breakers, to spark conversation, or to have something to look forward to every morning.

This is part II to Download Flickr photos in your Jekyll posts and a rundown of how I setup a subdomain that points at an AWS S3 bucket to host my site’s assets. And https, too!

I’ve stored all my photos for this blog on Flickr. For a while now I have kicked around the idea of finding a new home for them. One big reason being that a lot of the images are bloated and I would like to create my own system to control them. And now that Flickr is changing its storage policies, it’s time to move my boxes of photos out of their basement.

As a farewell to summer, I made one more ice cream: the dark & stormy.

This has become one of our favorite Instant Pot recipes. It’s especially perfect for fall. It also holds up great for leftovers or meal prep.

Earlier this year I attended a Slack Session called Building your first Slack integration. It gave me a ton of ideas. Naturally, I decided to turn my office lamp into a mood ring as dictated by the emoji in my Slack status.

For the past month, I’ve tried a new ice cream recipe with ingredients from the farmers market.
