This reminds me of the post by Matter that I linked to a few weeks ago (here it is). This is another new company that I’m crushing on, I haven’t had the chance to try their browser yet, but this blog post speaks about some of the things I’m most interested in now. How can we bring the soul back into the software we use daily?
Kitchen 🥙
I have a kitchen again (yay!), which means I get to cook a lot more. Over the last year or so, I've traveled quite a bit. One of the books that always tags along is Six Seasons by Joshua Mcfadden, a James Beard award winner and the founder of Submarine Hospitality in Portland, Oregon. He owns and manages Ava Gene's, Cicoria, and Tusk restaurants. The first 20 pages are my favorite, full of the best things to always have in the kitchen. His larder is full of types of vinegar, spices, oils, and all the small things that make a big difference when cooking. I can only manage a small travel larder, for now, most of which came from his recommendations. One of the book's best parts is that it's not all about the measurements. He often provides a base and encourages you to go wild. I love using it as a starter, adding, tweaking, and creating my own thing. When grabbing the link to share, I noticed he has a second book I'm looking to check out!

James Clear’s newsletter this past week had two things that I wanted to share.
Watch 📺
It’s fun looking at concepts for the future, and this one is no different. A flying hotel powered by nuclear energy could help showcase what traveling in the future could look like. I’m not sure I’d want to be up there for too long, but I’m curious if air travel improves or becomes more enjoyable.

Big life announcement → A few weeks ago I proposed 😍
Alexa and I have been celebrating in one of our favorite places in the world. When I was younger, I always wanted to know what the future would be like: Would I have kids? Where would I live? Would I be married? Will my best friends still be my best friends? Will I keep learning or will I become set in my ways? Will people remember me? Will I remember everyone? Am I happy? Will I remain curious?
Looking back and then looking forward again makes me really happy. If I had a glimpse of this when I was younger, I would have been elated looking at my life (I would have added professional soccer to the list, but hey, no complaints here). I probably have more questions now than ever, but I no longer crave all the answers. The unknown makes the journey that much sweeter.
Cheers to growth, understanding, love and a lifetime of exploring.
