Top of city hall
Category: buffalo

I got (e:Paul) to go on a walk with me on one of our Fridays off. I was hoping to see a wall of lake effect snow over the southtowns like you see in the super dramatic pictures, but it was more like a distant band of grey.

In order to get into city Hall now you have to through airport style security and take everything out of your backpack for a scanner.

Later Paul and I walked over to lunch at Casa Azul on Genesee. it's in the same fake shipping container building where Dog E Style was before. The one vegetarian okay was taco and way overpriced, but they also served this amazing hot drink that tastes like vanilla pudding.

Snowstorm inside
Category: snow

On the other hand, snow is not so good inside. During the whiteout storm, the side parlor blew open and all this snow came in. (e:Paul) discovered it when it was so cold in the hall. so I shop vacced it and swept a bunch outside, since it was too cold for him.

Luckily I close the pocket door and shut the furnace vent in that room, so it didn't have a chance to melt and ruin the floor.

Snow is magical
Category: snow
Snow is magical, especially the first snow. After we got back from a happy rave time with (e:uchina) and (e:yesthatcasey), I walked up and down Linwood for about an hour. I love when it's silent and the cars are slowed and silenced by the snow! Especially at night.

Arduino again
Category: programming
Out of boredom I decided to pull the Arduino out of its box and start playing with it again. It's much easier to get up and running sitting up on a desk instead of on the ground, next to the fireplace. Plus Fedora even has the Arduino IDE in its repository now.
What should I make?

Japanese curry
Category: food

I took a cue from a vegan mom blog and Made this Japanese curry with (e:terry). Except I left the apple, syrup and ketchup out, added more curry spices, and didn't spend any time pickling. delicious with some pan fried tofu, cabbage, and an apple on the side.
