You know you're making something good when you're done prepping the food and your fingers smell AMAZING.

Question for the Ancient among us on the Internet: Do you remember a text based program/app/website/gopher-thingy called "World Wide Window?" This would have been about 1993/1994 or so.

My college had it as what looked to be a text-only Web Browser, but it could have been gopher or a gopher front end. That's about all I remember about it. Any ideas what it was?

Suddenly feeling nostalgic for my time in State College, PA. Not sure why. For the most part, I wasn't very happy there. Not until just before we left. Maybe it's that part of me that misses it.

It's funny how your tastes change. I used to put Ranch dresing on everything. Especially salads. Now a days I barely put it on anything (I prefer Italian dressing). Ranch just feels too...thick and heavy for my tastes.

So, I finally ate that "chili."

Something was very wrong with that recipe. When I was browning the meat, it said it shouldd take ten minutes. It took three. Not a problem, though, the meat was cooked...I continued.

At the end, it said to simmer for 45 minutes covered, and 45 minutes uncovered. So I left it for 45 minuters covered, and when I came back, it was a thick cake with no moisture left. And, it was already starting to burn along the bottom, so I called it finished.

The chili itself was super thick and not loose at all like a stew. It was very much a dry paste. I checked the recipe, and it said to start at medium-high heat and never said anything about lowering the heat...I'm assuming medium-high was a typo for medium low.

But here's the thing. Since it didn't burn? It's actually edible. And tastes fairly good. I might try it again and do medium-low for everything instead of medium-high. Or maybe just use a different recipe alltogether.

Wow. Massive recipe failure. The food isn't bad... it's just something was really wrong with the recipes listing for heat and times. What I got was WAY too thick to be chili.

Hear me out.

So, chicken and waffles? Old, tired, worn out. Seattle Teriyaki and Waffles. New, exciting, amazing.

I may have to make this.

Hmm, having trouble writing today. Not good since my new job is writing. What did I used to do back in my NOA when I'd do text support?

Oh, right. ::Puts on Doom 1 and 2 soundtrack::

THERE WE GO. ::types up a storm::

The one thing about working "unregulated" by a workforce management schedule is making sure you still take your breaks. It really does keep your mental health a little more stable when you know you have a 15 minute "get away from work" moment.

To say that today was a great day at work would be an understatement of profound proportions.

I don't care what the weather is outside, I can always have soup.
