Skipping Meat Challenge: Week 3

For the first part of week 3, I started to eat meat at least once a day only.  This step made it easier to figure out which plates would be good candidates to substitute for vegan or vegetarian “meats” and products. Anything pre-processed or frozen has lots of added salt so the benefit of just […]

AerosPACE Flyoff and Awards Ceremony

After 8 months of hard work, the university teams had the opportunity to fly and prove that their autopilot programs worked. The event took place at Ball Ground’s Model Airplane field and we had a few people from the model association moderating the field. Our team lead gave a short safety briefing and off they […]

It took me a while to get to this post because of my birthday celebrations. The new house hasn’t been fully unpacked either and I owed my husband a fully functional master closet and pantry. (More on that on future DIY posts.) Add to all this the need to validate a few of my observations […]

Explosions? (Formerly known as My beef with Samsung)

We made the decision to buy many of the home appliance Samsung products available because the brand was up and coming, had cool gadgets and add ons, and was reasonably priced at our local Home Depot and Costco.

Skipping Meat Challenge: Week One Summary

Trying to stop eating meat cold turkey is not too difficult if you like veggies and legumes like me but I do forget from time to time that I can’t have charcuterie or salami. Hehe. Seeing others near meat while I am around hasn’t given me any cravings. In a way it is true what […]

The cohort courses took place on Friday evenings and all day Saturday because they were tailored for working professionals which unfortunately cut into our family time. To mitigate, my mom would take us with her to class. […]
