I was glad the board meeting ended early enough that I could have dinner at a reasonable hour (totally not something you can count on for board meeting nights!). I don’t normally order fries, but the hotel’s sea salt fries with harissa aioli were calling me, and I’m really glad I ordered them, because that […]

We got Thai for lunch (and leftovers for dinner) — most of the dishes were pretty standard, but these two are new to me, and delicious — tamarind tiger shrimp (served on a bed of grilled pineapple, not visible), and green curry with grilled eggplant and roti. I feel like the latter dish is maybe

I think it was Saturday morning at WisCon when Alex and Dan and I terraformed Mars. As one does.
WisCon: a meal with friends at Short Stack — my pulled pork with cheesy grits was DELICIOUS, if also huge. You may want to split entrees with a friend here, as all the portions are Midwestern large. I was a little jealous I hadn’t ordered E.J.’s root beer float. Next time. Note that Benjamin is
