On becoming human and Mu Ramen

Half way between the seven minute walk from the subway station back to my apartment, uncontrollable tears streamed down my face. I sobbed in broad day light. In my thirty-four years on earth, that had never happened before, and what triggered it was simply a portion of the podcast Invisibilia. It was the episode about how this small town in the Netherlands was trying to fight extremism and former-terrorists with super kindness. This guy who had gone to Syria but returned home talked about how he ate a waffle for the first time in a cafe frequented by white folks, and for some reason I just cried and it got to a point where I couldn't control myself. I sat down on a stoop to catch my breath. I also looked around to make sure no one saw me, so I could preserve my manliness....

I ate a sandwich from a drugstore. No, no, it's not the one that Zach declined. This was a different sandwich from a different drug store.

Sous vide steak in a beer cooler

Last week I analyzed some of my favorite activities. They include: watching basketball, playing basketball, watching movies, hanging out with Steph, forcing her to watch NBA Playoffs with me, and lounging around like an amoeba. Oh, and eating. Everything else in life is ancillary and quite useless, like this blog here. It's a wonder that I would take the time to try sous vide steak in a beer cooler. This method was taken from Kenji Lopez-Alt at this post on Serious Eats. This method of cooking steak is fun to try because it's fairly inexpensive, and it's very hands-off. As you saw previously, most of my favorite activities involve not moving too much, so this was perfect. First, you get some ziploc bags and a thermometer ($10). Thermometer might seem a bit random in a home kitchen, although if you like to fry shit, it's almost...
