This one is a bit of a changeup. I had originally planned to top my nachos with something boring like chicken fried rice, but alas I missed the boat on those particular leftovers. Instead I spotted some hard boiled eggs in the fridge, so I shelled and crumbled one of those bad boys onto my chips.
The flavor was about what I expected. The saltiness of the chips complimented the egg, while the tang of the salsa and Mexican cheese blend rounded things out pretty nicely.
(with apologies to my French-speaking friends)
This week’s Frankenlunch’s Monster was pita bread with hummus topped with couscous and rice and drizzled with a red pepper sauce. Definitely more thematically consistent and equally satisfying.
When I worked from home full time it was often my practice to open the fridge and assemble for lunch an unholy concoction of leftovers and carbs from whatever I found in there. In that grand tradition today I made nachos and topped them with some homemade kimchi lovingly fermented by my wife.
Despite the look she gave me when I showed her what I was doing it was pretty tasty. I’ll probably have it again tomorrow to finish off the kimchi.

This is by far the clearest, most coherent explanation of the coronavirus situation I’ve seen yet.
Really I just wanted an excuse to post this song.
Our family welcomed a new cat last week. He’s about a year old. We adopted him from Humane Animal Rescue last Thursday and he’s been adjusting to his new home ever since. The child named him Peaches, which is about as apt a name as I can think of.
He’s still in quarantine for now but he’s briefly met the older cat a few times and they seem to be on amicable terms. We’ll see what happens when he has the run of the house.
Or whatever you celebrate this season.
I had to write the following to my colleagues at Canonical today:
Warthogs,
After just shy of 6 years I’m afraid my time here has come to an end.
This has been a dream job for me, in no small part due to the people
I’ve gotten to work with and call my friends.So thanks to all of you, especially the oft-renamed team that for now is
called system enablement. It has been an absolute pleasure and I hope to
see you again.Cheers,
~Scott
I meant every word of it.
As it stands I’m on the lookout for some new challenges, but first I think I’ll take a few days and enjoy the extra time with my family.
As I reluctantly enter my mid-thirties with some birthday presents being less welcome than others I can take some solace in the fact that my wife really, really gets me.
As I drag my slowly decaying husk to work every day I’ll have a couple of new reminders of that and how much I have to be thankful for.
