I can see the Ducks signing Carter Hart. If they're shitty enough to hire Joel Quenneville, they won't have any issues adding Hart either.

Campfire weather is right around the corner. So, this Triple Chocolate S'mores ice cream was a natural next choice to make for @dadyolks.food.

Also, my son requested it, and there's no way I was going to say no to him.

Fig and Mascarpone Gelato freshly churned and headed into the freezer.

I know two things:
1. This is delicious
2. I am going to gain 100 pounds making all this food for @dadyolks.food

My first ever project guitar: a J. Mascis Jazzmaster from Sweetwater. Shielded it, swapping in Tone Shaper electronics, added a Fender saddle bridge and Classic Player Tailpiece, and putting on a Decoboom pick guard. Really excited to finish this up and post pics of the final product.

Not the most exciting picture, but part of my plan with @dadyolks.food is to come up with ways to save cash & minimize waste.

I bought 4 $5 Costco rotisserie chickens, broke them down, and turned them entrees, soups, and snacks.

Was it haute cuisine? No, just easy recipes with virtually no waste.

Pickling is such an easy and great way to add flavor and a new dimension to food. Excited to publish some pickling recipes on @dadyolks.food soon!

(Sorry pizza.)

I'm sorry for what I said, or did, or thought Ignorance is a starting place for growth

This is one of the earliest pieces I began writing but I kept pushing it aside. I don't mind showing my vulnerability, but casting a dark shadow on myself is scary.

An unanswered call To love what you do, you must do what you love.

Do what you love.

The Flyers didn't botch anything here. The Islanders are in a much better spot after an insanely good draft and that makes them a more appealing option. Making a blind decision, anyone would do the same.

Great choice!

Congrats to Rob Thomson for holding someone accountable. Fuck Rob Thomson for ruining Nicky C's 236-game streak over a comment.

Have to save room for signing McJesus too.

Florida has dominated the playoffs. No income tax attracts big talent.
