Clean simple free- Ep 59 spring cleaning
Went over some tips and tricks for cleaning the bathroom. I thought I ought to pay particular attention to expiration dates.
Gastropod: Where there's smoke there's... Whiskey
A very very interesting scientific look at smoke and the flavors of smoke. Why smoke sometimes tastes good and sometimes horrid is simply how hot and fast you cook the food. There is a reason it's said low and slow.
A hotdog is a sandwich: What's the most Useless cooking tool
Basically, this was just as close to my usual assumption that any kitchen tool with a specific one task function is not worth the space it takes in my kitchen. A good rule to live by for a packrat such as myself.
The daily: a conversation with Senator Raphael Warnock
A great in depth interview and analysis of the first elected black senator from Georgia. How the seat was won and how the outlook is going forward (particularly regarding voting rights) It was very insightful.
Aoki's House 398
I had this on in the background as I did household tasks after work.
Word of the day: adulate
Adulate means to praise effusively, flatter excessively, or to be devoted abjectly and excessively.
[A portrait of the family patriarch, a man adulated by the public but generally feared by his family, hung above the mantle.]
Food
Today was a day in rare form as I enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner. (Although breakfast and dinner both consisted of the homemade curry leftovers from last night.) Todays school lunch was a delightful Shogayaki and rice. I went ahead and helped myself to seconds, securing the meat's longevity around my midsection I'm sure.

Why Am I Sp Bad At Typign?
A typo investigation.
I read this today at work. It was interesting that there is international typing competitions and I wondered if perhaps it wouldn't be beneficial to try to increase my own typing speed. Of course I don't have much time to practice now but maybe I can add it to the interested in learning bucket list.
My focus for tomorrow: I would really like to focus on studying for the GRE and get back on track. I really think I am losing steam because I just have so much ahead of me. Overwhelmed is an understatement.
