One of my goals for this year is to try a new recipe each week. This week’s recipe was an Asian lettuce wrap. It turned out decent and I didn’t burn anything, which is awesome. Go here for the recipe. My picture may not be as pretty as theirs but it doesn’t have to be.…

There are several things I have learned as I have lived. Among them is the reality that life is going to come at you, whether you like it or not. So I figure if life is going to happen anyway why should I be passive toward it. Why not choose to live a life worth…
