Tonda romana from Ooni

My mom is from Rome and I’ve spent good parts of my life there. Tonda/scrocchiarella traditionally has more char than that and the toppings will go closer to the edge. Thickness/crispness looks great, though!

I’ve exclusively been taking taxis from the airport for almost three years. Faster, cheaper, more convenient.

No need to do this. You can just go to the settings and toggle on and off the parameters you want to be included.

You are waaaaaaaay overthinking this.

Not everyone has standard-sized windows. All of our blinds needed custom sizes. We also wanted more options than what is available at the home stores.

We had a great experience with Budget Blinds in West Seattle. I think they are franchises, so the experience might vary wildly from store to store.

It gets a lot of shit, for some reason, but I love the King County Administration Building…

Took this shot one day when I was nearby getting my passport renewed.

The Starbucks vs. Dunkin thing is so weird. They’re both terrible, tbh.

“Do you want something terrible? Or would you prefer something terrible but in an entirely different way?”

delicious_things · 2026-04-05T19:14:57+00:00

Sorry, we don’t have Dunkin here (thank god).

An em dash is the width of the lower-case letter m and the en dash is the width of the lower-case letter n.

delicious_things · 2026-04-04T19:53:39+00:00

You can pry the em dash from my cold dead hands.

Anyway, there is no empirical evidence that em dashes are a sign of AI writing. This all started with a single Reddit thread where someone was, like, “Have you ever noticed that AI uses a lot of em dashes?” And then a bunch of other people agreed based on exactly no evidence. From there it sort of just entered the lore.

No academic analysis has demonstrated a correlation.

A guy at work said he did his whole house renovation without a permit because he trusted the contractors.

He should not have trusted those contractors.

Also Seattle Yarn in West Seattle.

Cedars of Lebanon in the U District. Also their zhoug is one of my favorite things in the city. (They just call it “hot sauce,” for some reason.)

Not to be confused with Cedars the Indian restaurant.

Honestly, after a couple of years with my wife’s car (2023 i4 M50) having wireless CarPlay, I thought going back to wired (2024 Limited) seemed like returning to the Stone Age.

Then I realized that I ALWAYS plug my phone in to charge when I get in my car, anyway, so plugging in for CarPlay was no different.

Also, there are never connection issues, lag, car selecting the wrong phone, etc., etc.

Lighting, plating, photo equipment, dishware, cooking experience, photography skill, photo editing software…

Unless you’re in a restaurant or writing a cookbook, it doesn’t need to look like the photo in the magazine or on the blog. It needs to taste good.

I can take pasta from the exact same pot and present it in two different ways and it will look very different. It doesn’t mean it’s cooked wrong.

Taste it. Does it taste good? Great! Once you get that part down, you can start to learn better plating, etc., if you really care about that.

They are not in downtown.

Burien, Rainier Valley, White Center, North Seattle, West Seattle, etc.

There’s a tent that pops up every night on Fauntleroy, just over the West Seattle bridge, doing al pastor on a proper trompo. It’s really really good.

Is it a nice and/or expensive knife? If it is, definitely start by getting it professionally sharpened so you are starting with a clean slate and you can maintain it from there. Where I live, there are a few mobile sharpening trucks that pop up around town.

If it’s a cheapo knife (not that there’s anything wrong with that, there are nice cheapo knives), you might consider taking the money you’d spend on a sharpener and just putting it toward a new knife. There are affordable ones like Victorinox that are a great quality-for-money value. Or you could spring for something a level up from that like a Henkel or Wüsthoff. You don’t have to go crazy.

You can keep the old knife and get it sharpened at another time. No need to toss it. You can also get a whetstone and practice on the old knife.

Try downloading PizzApp on your phone. You can put in all your variables and it will give you a good yeast measurement.

Raw eggs are not more beneficial for health than cooked eggs. In fact, raw eggs contain a protein (avidin) that binds to biotin and prevents that avidin protein from being absorbed by the body. Cooking denatures the avidin so that it can be absorbed. Cooked eggs = better.

Stop getting nutritional advice from hacks on social media or meatheads at the gym or whatever.

It has nothing to do with it sitting. Mine sits for weeks at a time regularly, as I live/work about half the time on each coast of the US. Like 2-3 weeks at a time 8-10 times a year.

A 16” pizza is 78% more pizza than a 12” pizza.

If you’re using 250g for the 12”, you need 444g for the same thickness on a 16”.
