I'm not the best cook. No, not even close to being decent. I enjoy it though, and I happily eat my own meals. I cook for one almost all of the time, so I don't have critics, but the few times, people have eaten my cooking, they seemed to like it. The above is the final product. It's Mahi Mahi. It's simple.

I’m not the best cook. No, not even close to being decent. I enjoy it though, and I happily eat my own meals. I cook for one almost all of the time, so I don’t have critics, but the few times, people have eaten my cooking, they seemed to like it. The above is the final product. It’s Mahi Mahi. It’s simple. Here’s what I do. Maybe you do it different. I put a tiny bit of oil on a plate. I flop the fish around it, then I add salt and pepper, thyme, and the mystery ingredient. Furikake. It’s flakey seasoning grannies put on their rice. I grew up with it and I saw a recipe for Hawaiian cooking where they put it on chicken. So I figure why not on my fish. It looks like this when it gets going. Don’t over cook it, I put it on medium heat, and once a side gets brown, I turn it over. It’ll keep cooking even off the pan, so take it off a hair early. Brussels sprouts rock. I used to hate them, but they’re pretty good done this way. Chop em finer. I saw pizza with thin brussels sprouts on them, and that’s when I realized that cooking them this way will make the difference. Onions. Cook them just right and they’re good as is.

I had a half of a watermelon sitting in my fridge. I couldn't eat it, it was just okay. What do you do with watermelons that don't quite cut it? I happens often, you spend a few dollars and you get something that's not awful, but just not good. Make juice. You have to have a juicer, and thanks to mine, this worked out decent. Slice up the watermelon. I do them up in long strips, so they can fall...
I had a half of a watermelon sitting in my fridge. I couldn’t eat it, it was just okay. What do you do with watermelons that don’t quite cut it? I happens often, you spend a few dollars and you get something that’s not awful, but just not good. Make juice. You have to have a juicer, and thanks to mine, this worked out decent. Slice up the watermelon. I do them up in long strips, so they can fall into the juicer, much like if you were juicing celery. That’s mint. Off to the side, I boiled a few table spoons of honey and a cup of water and mint. Of course, once it’s boiled down, the mint will turn brown. Remove the mint. Hopefully, it’ll infuse with the honey water mixture. Mix it with the watermelon juice. That’s the juice pouring out. Juicer by Jack LaLane. Add some lemon or lime to the mix, and there you have it. Add a tiny piece of fresh mint, and this is looking pretty good. If you have the fancy but sort of impractical ice cube trays by IKEA, then it’s just that much cooler.

Visited Ronald's Donuts. In the middle of nowhere in Las Vegas is this cool little shop. It features donuts, a lot of them, and most of them are vegan. People from high and low come here, and most have no idea that a lot of these donuts are vegan. They're just good. More on this later. They open from 4a to 4p 4600 W Spring Mountain Rd, Las Vegas Nevada 89102
