    I\’ve been eating extremely well, which is one of the bright spots amid the general quarantine gloom. This helps both me and the local restaurants, so I don\’t feel too bad about going out because I want these places to still be around when we reopen. Taiwanese popcorn chicken was one of the first things…

    Well, here we are. It\’s been 27 days since the office shut down, 21 days since my last post, 12 days since Maryland was ordered to shelter in place, and 10 days since I last wore shoes. Today it occurred to me to mark the first day of quarantine in my work planner, you know,…

    Welcome to adulthood. You get excited now when you use your day off to buy a new keyboard and go to the Korean market. That keyboard was not cheap!!! ?? Unfortunately I really needed a keyboard with a number pad, which makes life a lot more pleasant, and even more unfortunately my new computer did…

    恭喜發財!!! It\’s the year of the rat, and with any luck we can treat this as the official start of the year instead of January 1, because my year began well enough and then started sloping gently downhill after the first week. 2020 hasn\’t been particularly convincing so far, but the year of the rat…

    I am, as I\’ve said, an incompetent resolution-keeper, but I\’ve made a big 2020 resolution that I hope I can keep: to write on this poor lonely blog once a week, or at the very least twice a month. I\’m trying not to make promises I can\’t keep (e.g., \”use LA Fitness membership\”), so I…

    It\’s been a bizarre couple of weeks. First there was the week before last, which produced the worst Wednesday I\’ve ever had. Then there was last week, which was generally all right but contained an unpleasant surprise. Then there was this week, which actually was fairly normal but also made me dream about two equally…

    It all started with Getty Images. I was shopping through Colonial Williamsburg stock photos for a work project and completely minding my own business when I started to think, These are really nice photos. Never mind that the last time I went to Williamsburg I was in fifth grade and Completely UninterestedTM in American history. I…

    I\’ve finally conquered rice noodles. The first time I tried to cook dried rice noodles I was very very new to the noodle game, which means that what eventually came out of my wok was a solid mass of noodle-shaped objects. It was like chewing a carpet. Cue three- to five-year montage of me rolling…

    I am a food blog junkie. I surf food blogs during my lunch break and have a whole board dedicated to recipes I\’ll probably never try. If there were a Food Blog Lurkers Anonymous, I would join it. Me: Mew.* Group Leader: Did you just fucking mew? Me: Mew.** * Hello, my name is Karo.…
