Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Last week passed quickly and without much ado. I think perhaps I was recuperating from Brittany's birthday party last Sunday. And since interacting with humans in person these days is doubling exhausting than pre-covid times, that took me a week. 😉 Yesterday I got to see both Kayla and my family since it was a…
Brittany's birthday party = complete. With Elisabeth's help, I created quite a lovely charcuterie picnic spread yesterday evening, complete with a build your own peanut butter pickle sandwich station. Did anyone else know that was a thing? It's one of Brittany's favorite (and weirdest) combinations, so I had to offer it at the party. Turns…
Today has been a task oriented day. I have gotten some reading in though so it wasn't all go go go. Tomorrow I'm throwing Brittany a picnic birthday party so I had to get stuff for that. I decided I'm going to do a charcuterie spread for her bday dinner since fried cauliflower wings and…
Went into work again yesterday. My coworker, Cathy, worked in the office too so I felt more normal than I did when I was there last week. I also enjoyed myself more since I could chat with her. We took our breaks together and walked around outside where we ran into a total of 3…

Sunday was a pretty great day for me. I made some cookie dough, took care of my plants, and then went to H Mart to grab ingredients for two new dishes Elisabeth and I are going to try over the next few days. My trip to H Mart was way less stressful than it was…

I worked in an office building yesterday. First time in three and a half months. I clocked in at 8:03am because I underestimated how long it would take me to get ready to go to work outside of my 1,000 square foot apartment. I had to pack a lunch. And my laptop. And put on…
As a white person of privilege, it is my duty to acknowledge and address the racism that is happening in my country right now and that has been happening in my country for our entire history. I am privileged solely because of my skin color. I have opportunities that black people and people of color…
Yesterday morning I met up with Brittany at Parker's farmers' market. My purpose was two-fold: get myself some bread and pickled dilly beans and hang out with Brittany. I emailed The Bread Box a month or so ago and asked about their vegan options and when they responded with the long list of delicious sounding…
I'm very excited about the Denver Botanic Gardens, hence the blog title. How can I not be? Also, people have told me that cursing is a sign of intelligence because it shows you have an increased vocabulary. I don't know how true that is, although I imagine there's some truth to it, so everyone take…
