Today's kitchen foray yielded onion rings. Mostly to try making a dipping sauce I recently had at a new burger place. I've always found it wise to flower the onion rings before dipping in batter. I think it makes the batter cling better. My batter consist of 1/4 cup corn starch (browns better) 1 1/2 cups of Krusteaz pancake batter and I used 1 3/4 cup of Trader Joe's ginger beer. The carbonation makes the batter lighter and the ginger adds just a hint of something you couldn't really name. The sauce is super simple, but absolutely delicious. Duke's mayonnaise, malt vinegar and cracked pepper. My new young friend thinks I'm a Chef.

After a tasty breakfast BLAT, went for a tour on the bayou. Where we saw plenty of wildlife, up close.

Still got it.

Hot, fresh, Beignets, from the source.

I will never get tired of posting Kardi videos. Sorry/not sorry (Also, some really nice cinematography of Busan.)

Interesting day yesterday. First discovered a nearby restaurant burnt down. Then went to The Friends of The Library book sale and after buying an Atlas found a bunch of fun donation cards in the back. Finally stumbled across another Día de los Muertos celebration around the corner.

Zoot Woman, "Grey Day" -- going back 23 years, nice mix of power pop and post-punk

80s electro-funk compilation... some real bangers:

Not today, but yesterday, played in a work golf event and used the laser to make some fun accessories.

Palo Alto snagged a Hauser & Wirth and it opened today with its inaugural exhibition ‘Calder | O’Keeffe.’ So long lines, sun, mobiles, “flowers” and wine.

Long but wonderful day yesterday. Left the house at ~7:30, got back almost midnight. Visited a dear friend in CT for a day-late birthday celebration. She was so supportive to me as I went through so much with Karen, and she has had her tough issues and hardships as well. But we had a wonderful day just checking out some small towns near her, and having a nice lunch and dinner. Happy Birthday Nancy!
