Monosodium Glutamate

Apparently, I make bougie ramen, and it all started from looking at the back of the packaging of regular ol' instant ramen noodles and my attempt to veer away from MSG in my ingredients. But it appears that MSG isn't as bad as it has been portrayed in the past.

A Year for Bingo Cards

I am giving up on New Year's Resolutions this year. They always seem to fall through, even with as easy of the one I made last year. This year, I am looking more towards filling out a Bingo card worth of accomplishments to see if I can achieve.

A Mushroom For Christmas

From the gift of a Christmas ornament to me, I decided to look a little bit into the Amanita Muscaria mushroom. A mushroom that is popular this time of year for decorations.

Nothing to Fear

Election day is over; hooray! But now we get the post election coverage, and as much blame as was passed around in the come up of the election, we are now getting ready to assume a defensive stance from the assault of the victors. And I feel was this was best displayed through Tim Walz's wife's, Gwen, introduction speech. But if we look at what obsticals we, as a country, have over come, and what other prominent figures have spoken in the past, I know we have nothing to fear.

Today, I am full of gratitude of a donation given on another podcast, giving me an accreditation. This led me down a road of the English language to find out which word to most appropriately use to show my appreciation.
