The first time I have cut a pineapple by myself! I tried to use a potato eye remover… But the pineapple with too mushy. Ended up going around several times to trim and trim. Came out delicious! I like the centers too, not sure why the directions day to core it. It was a bit tough, but it is also where most of the nutrients are. Added some salt and munched away.

Feb 6, 2022: Co-pilot Dang has agreed to venture a new meal with a new kitchen tool. Today we are trying beef stew in my new InstaPot! Here is the recipe we tried: https://kristineskitchenblog.com/instant-pot-beef-stew/ After finishing Operation 2000.A.2. We left at 1:30 for Ralph’s, then Coffee bean (hazelnut + cold brew), then Costco, then to trader Joe’s for items we forgot from the former two stores. Got back by 3:30, settled in and started prepping everything. We took no photos of preparation, but it came out great! Continue reading OP_3210.001-Beef_Stew

Pie in the sky: lots of land, not too close to too many neighbors, 5-10 mins from freeway, close to beach volleyball, not too far from LA family. First place of interest was in Sycamore canyon right up the street from East Beach Went to planning and development to get the public records and visited the actual land. Need to build a bridge to get land since there is a creek off the road. Second option would be to talk to the neighbor who had a bridge to share theirs and drive through their land to access it. Pros: Good … Continue reading OP_1100.001-Searching_for_Settlement

We are all on our own quests with unique missions, collaborations, hurdles, and victories. This is a living log for myself to not repeat my previous mistakes or improve upon a previous experience. I have 30+ years of existence, but not sure how much I have lived. My skills and knowledge base is not where I want them to be, so I will set out to explore other worlds. Nomads have a noble creed, but I cannot completely appropriate. Thusly, I shall make it part of my quest to make my headquarters a sanctuary that I can proudly return to. … Continue reading OP_0_Mission_Statement
