Random notes on things:

I ran into Alex, a co-worker, on his experience flying back from vacation. We happened to be on the flight he couldn’t get on; he describes the wacky way he was treated better than I can; it’s a good description of some of the problems with customer service today.

Eating at home

ahaverbuch — Wed, 02 Nov 2005 01:19:27 +0000

I came to a realization that I eat out way too often… both from an economic and health perspective, it’s not a good idea for anyone to do. While I am not a great chef, by any means, I at least find my food edible, so I can save a lot of money by cooking and eating at home. I’ve made it my goal (outside of today, when I had a lunch meeting) to make this "eat at home" week. I’ll see if I keep it up…

The problem is, that when I cook for myself, I don’t make/eat enough veggies; I end up very meat-heavy, since I eat vegetarian so often when I do eat out. This gives me some balance and protein, but my eating habits go completely out of whack. I need to come up with a good compromise.

What I do make well, and really enjoy: (and you can see, for the most part, the meat problem)

Lamb chops
Grilled chicken
Fried Plantains
Mac and Cheese
Veal riblets
Pineapple Chicken
Some others I am sure I am forgetting about.

Talking about Blah blah blah: Revenge of the Low Seeds

ahaverbuch — Tue, 22 Mar 2005 16:36:41 +0000

And it all comes full circle – from one Washington (WashU) to the next (U-W, or my next door neighbor)

Quote

Blah blah blah: Revenge of the Low Seeds

(I do enjoy how this opens the door for Washington to get to St. Louis, perhaps the most disrespected one-seed ever, even more so than Saint Joe’s last year and the ’94 Missouri team. Not just because UW was a victim of the perpetual east-coast bias, but also because there is already a university by the name of Washington that has been in St. Louis for quite some time.)
