I am focusing on the “blow my mind” part, rather than the “beautiful” part of your question, but I am certain many philosophically-minded people would consider the following “beautiful”.

Peter Singer’s argument in “Famine, Affluence, and Morality (1972)” that you and most everyone you know are probably immoral or evil and you don’t even realize it. It really affected my ideas of how to strive to live.

Here is a good video explaining the idea in detail, worth 30m of your time.

Peter Singer - ordinary people are evil

I’m in the US; the adobo I am trying to find is Filipino.

Here are two versions, both of which I have made with repeat success.

Chicken Adobo #1
Chicken Adobo #2

On the upside, I was able to repurpose the underwhelming pork adobo into “cross-culture” taquitos last night. I shredded some cotija, gently reheated the pork, made some tortillas and then stuffed them with the cheese and pork and quickly pan-fried them, then topped them with a heap of pikliz. That worked well and was pleasing.

I can see that, I felt it just didn’t have enough “oomph” or “punch”.

I must chuckle at myself.

I am one of those extremely odd and strange people who likes very, very many things across many different cuisines…

…except eggs. Eggs and yellow Summer (or Fortune) squash.

EDIT: Note, I eat plenty of eggs in things. But, when I run into a whole boiled egg sitting in my food, or a fried egg on top of a bowl of bibimbap, I pick it out. Even more odd: I will eat tamagoyaki without a problem.

Yeaaaah, I know people like them. It’s the whites that get me…

I enjoyed it just fine. I enjoy open-worldish-rpg-y games.

I think Odyssey refined the mechanics better, but Origins was still enjoyable. One the post-main DLCs I particularly liked (which is rare for me).

I did not/do not enjoy in the least the modern-day story detours nonsense; I just sort of think of them as commercial breaks that I go get some water during and pay no attention to.

People who didn’t like Ubisoft’s turn towards RPG/open-world elements seem to have a more negative opinion of the game, I think.

I’m here. Me, too, I hate that I have to go to Reddit for just a handful of subs I like…

And ME TOO about losing. A little over a year ago I lost 65 and got down to 215 within spitting distance of my goal of 200.

Then I broke 2 ribs and a collarbone and you can guess what happened.

So now, back up 25 and a little angry with myself for sliding back (and how myself looks), so I am back on tracking and being food responsible.

So with ya brah.

Local pizza place near me has a pear pizza that carries the name of the restaurant (so they must be proud of it?). It is:

• fresh mozzarella
• shaved pear
• caramelized onions
• hot honey (I think this means honey with a little red chili in it)
• pistachios

They offer/suggest adding prosciutto to the pizza (after baking), which we usually do.

It’s damn fine.
