I’ve used the markdown to nvAlt script from Brett before and was invaluable when doing research, looking forward to using this with BitWriter 😉

handy little tool for a beginner like me.

is a neat macOS menu bar app for doing translation on the fly https://insttranslate.com/mac.

Redfish with Fennel and Sweet Onion

I target redfish routinely in Tampa Bay, and while I often fall back to the classic blackened redfish, this sounds like a nice change of pace. I might tweak it by using a little wine, probably a riesling, but otherwise, sounds like a perfect spring dish.

I’ve mentioned Brett’s markdown services, here he’s made a few into handy Popclip extensions. If you’re not familiar with popclip, think the iOS popover when you select text on your desktop.

I admit I too have a fascination with mid-century food stuffs. I have several boxes of those little recipe books put out by various companies pimping their products. I also have a hand-bound collection of recipes from magazines that I thrifted. Might need to dust off the scanner and start sharing some after seeing this site.

Just fucking brilliant. I also learned when I first started cooking that you can cook a roux in the oven at 325° and it will never burn. Restaurants in New Orleans that serve massive amounts of gumbos and étouffée use the technique over night.

I’m tempted to test out Omni Focus since they are offering a free license until 2.0 is released. Seems like a nice starting point for jumping into the system. Just not sure ready for the outlay of cash for iOS versions and desktop since I’ve bought Things already…
