Eating pistachios

Cracking open the shells like a dextrous monkey

pistachios

the shell makes the snack. the little cracking sound as it snaps apart in your fingers is almost worth it on its own. i love sharing them (my mom and i used to do this often growing up) and watching them pile up. it’s messy, but not too messy. it’s fussy, but not too fussy. i like the taste too.

Pistachio

A lot of hard work to get in but ultimately worth the pay off and a delicious enhancer to other things

Ridgewood chocolate

This is specifically for NYC people. In Ridgewood Queens there is a hole in the wall high quality chocolate shop. It’s run by an eccentric and amazing man named Constantine and his wife. He will talk your ear off for a half an hour about “the benefits” of chocolate and how it’s a panacea for pretty much everything. How big chocolate gives away most of the cocoa butter to the cosmetic industry. He’ll also talk to you about how he asks ChatGPT about chocolate and it’s wrong a lot of the time. You’ll then buy a bar even though it’s small and $10. But you will go home and have a little piece after dinner and never taste chocolate the same way again…

Maybe not the advice you want to hear, but…

Ceramic pans are unfortunately not very long lasting, once the coating is damaged you can’t really fix it. Most of these pans also lose their nonstick qualities after a while. I suggest investing in a carbon steel or cast iron pan, which can be re-seasoned if damaged. Or stainless steel which is pretty indestructible as far as I can tell. These are lifelong pans!

If you can't sleep and it's 5am, just wake up for the day

I did it this morning, meditated, read a short story, watched the sun rise, and then got to work!
