Recently, I’ve been slacking with off-hours hobby development. Instead, I’ve been focusing on family and developing other life skills.

With faces like these, how could you choose to sit in front of a computer and write software. It’s an excuse, but a damn good one. For reference, that’s Sarah (the little one), Liz (the smiling one), and Dylan (the furry one).

We recently took a trip to Saint Martin and had some delicious crabcakes. I decided to try my hand at making them once we got home.

The same rationale applies to these buckwheat crepes.

I finally started reading the Serious Eats blog. It might have been a mistake, as I’d prefer to do this all day. These are Ricotta Gnocchi

Today, I decided to try the Turchetta. It turned out wonderfully and helped Sarah feel better after spending the weekend sick.

So it may not be as interesting as building distributed systems, but this is an amazing way to spend a weekend.
