Tonight’s combo is a classic pair of tools.
The old hammer & center punch
Give yourself a shot at centered holes without a drill press! Keeps small bits from walking around on you. Comes in handy every once in a while

This weekend’s combo:
Mushrooms 🍄🟫 & cheese 🧀
We tried to recreate an incredible appetizer we had at Humble Spirit on a recent trip to the Willamette Valley in Oregon.
Delicious and pretty darn close!

New pairing to try: Chai Tea & Swedish Fish
Today's combo doesn't come with an image, but rather, it's 2 excerpts I'd saved that I've been thinking about together lately:
"1. Conceptual artists are mystics rather than rationalists. They leap to conclusions that logic cannot reach.
2. Rational judgements repeat rational judgements.
3. Irrational judgements lead to new experience.
4. Formal art is essentially rational.
5. Irrational thoughts should be followed absolutely and logically."
— Sol LeWitt “Sentences for Conceptual Art” in O-9 magazine (New York, 1969)
&
"Humans often find value in balancing rational and irrational thought. Creativity, intuition, and even love often thrive on elements of 'irrationality' or things that defy strict logical rules. I can help interpret and engage with those ideas, even though my foundation is rooted in rational processes."
— GPT 4o-mini (2024)

¡Sentirse muy tropical este miércoles! Una combinación refrescante:
Ceviche flavored plantain chips & a can of coconut juice
First time trying these Zambos chips, very flavorful and exactly what I was craving, if a bit salty.

Two complementary tools that came in very handy this weekend.
A white Stabilo pencil & a single edge safety blade
An incredible duo for tracing quick patterns and cutting out templates. Stabilos make visible marks on just about anything and these disposable blades just work. Used most recently for cutting out replacement padding for carpet in an old truck and starting to rough out a new cordura bike-frame bag.

The perfect snack after a day of shopping!

GM! I’m kicking things off with a sweet treat.
Steaming hot coffee & a warm stroopwafel
Turns out my favorite mug fits this kind PERFECTLY. Let’s gooo!

Today it’s a quick corner store pickup to quench the pallet:
Convicted Melon Liquid Death & Cool Ranch Doritos
Just grabbed what called to me on this hot day.
Blue Doritos are clearly the best variety. Kinda dug the bev, especially as a complement to the snack. It was my first time trying it and was about what I expected. It has a slight but noticeable lingering warmth from a bit of paprika. I do wonder if including a sweetener, even a small amount of a natural one like agave, makes this more of a soda than a sparkling water, but maybe I’m a purist?

Good combo here, IMO
Back at it with my favorite pairing.

It’s finally bike season in my neck of the woods! Got an incredible, chill coffee ride in this morning. This one’s intentionally a bit broad. Don’t overthink it.
Coffee & Bikes
Specifically, here we’ve got an oat milk cortado ‘to go’ from 𝔛𝔈𝔏𝔄 my favorite weekend stop, riding on my deep custom ‘blacked out’ STATE All Road. Any caffeinated bev and bike will do… try it out and enjoy!

GM and Happy Friday! It’s tradition at my house to have waffles or pancakes for breakfast to close out the work week. Today we went with:
Pancakes & Vermont Maple Syrup
I poured a little too much due to my photo taking 🤪 Let’s get it!

Rye bread with butter 😋
Apparently a simple combo, but this one in particular is very special, as this rye bread is baked underground in a geothermal area and the butter is made with fresh cream from Icelandic grass-fed cows.
Straight to the top of the combos! 🔝
@greg maybe you could include this type of bread in your next batch 😉 I can share the recipe!

One for all the Unix fans out there:
A fresh terminal & your favorite keyboard
Lately, I've been really enjoying getting back into writing code at work, especially with my current setup. Always more challenging than I remember, but also more fun.
