I've been there for a while. Mine was a necessity though, the water here is pretty cloudy straight out of the tap.

Then your brewer sucks.

If you went from preground coffee to grinding your own then you should notice a big difference.

oh hahah, no. i went from spice grinder to burr

preground crap to freshly ground / recently roasted is definitely the biggest taste leap

I haven't "quit" playing Destiny it just seems like I'm struggling to find motivation to play it lately. Like, I wanted to do cool shit last season but they wanted me to spend 20+ hours grinding my level up before I was allowed to do the cool shit... and i just eventually ran out of energy to do that. I never made it to endgame level last season. Chris has played a little bit? He has at least logged in.

I'm sure I'll play at some point IDK. What is it we need to do?
The Hawkmoon mission is worth doing. The new Presage mission and the Glykkon are very cool. It's gothic horror set in a drifting hulk in space. Very very Alienesque.

Also, the seasonal battleground activity this season is really fun. Plus there is a new Recluse.
I started the Hawkmoon mission but I never spent the time searching for the feathers.

I never even finished the exotic sword quest from last season.
Wrong thread, but this is where you've been going recently. They released a new state of Destiny update today.

Lot's of good changes happening, including eliminating sunsetting (Yay!) and drastically reducing the power grind between seasons.

I've been cooking a lot

I just made a chicken breast on bowtie pasta thing, it was so easy and it's so good. Pasta takes 11 minutes in an already-boiling stockpot, and chicken breasts are six minutes on a side in a pan if you butterflyed them, so that's a nice synergy

Get into sous vide. You'll never butterfly a chicken breast again.

That's probably good but I marinate them in a criollo marinade for three hours and then pan-cook them in butter

I mean, I'm reluctant to give that up



I just made a pumpkin cream pie, we'll see how it turned out in a few hours

I sous vide some pork chops for dinner last night. I took one of the small ones this morning, re-heated it, fried up a couple of eggs, and served with some cherry tomatoes.


Excellent breakfast.
