I Need To Get More Adventurous With My Cooking


I got this spice rack in December of 2019. It was supposed to be my white elephant gift for the exchange at work, but I ended up keeping it for myself instead. It just occurred to me more than a week later though that probably 3/4 of the jars of spice have never even been opened. I like to cook, but I tend to keep things in a fairly narrow range of dishes that I'm comfortable with. I do have a couple of cookbooks, and an entire folder in my Google bookmarks of different recipes. Perhaps I should make an effort to try some new ones a bit more often.

Welcome To Ali AB (COB Adder) Iraq

Image
** Note: the following information covers the period of my deployment to Ali Base from Oct 09 - Apr 10. I am now back in Texas. If you know of anybody who is currently at COB Adder/Ali Base, who is blogging about it, please let me know via the contact form, so that I can link to them from this post ... thanks. I was tasked to put together a welcome letter for some of the new guys who will be replacing us over the next few months. As part of the project, I took a picture of the wall mural above; which is one of the first things you see when you get off the plane here. As I was taking the picture, I remembered back to when I first found out I was coming here. As soon as I got home from work that day, I fired up the old macbook, and did a search for Ali Air Base , COB Adder , and Tallil (yes, this place goes by all of those names). I found a few websites and blogs, but of course I wanted to know more (especially about quality of life stuff). So, here's what we're gonna do

Riding the Iroquios Point to Pearl Harbor Grey Boat

Image
All this week, I'm attending a computer class at Hickam AFB. Seeing as how I live in Iroquois Point, all the way at the end of Ewa Beach, this presents me with the possibility of getting stuck in traffic jams and "enjoying" the comfort of my car for at least an hour each way. Fortunately, courtesy of my military ID card, I have another option ... Because this used to be military housing, the Navy still runs a shuttle boat between the dock on our side of Pearl Harbor, and several stops over on the Navy base. Since the Navy base is connected to Hickam, I just left my car on that side and have been enjoying nice 20 minute boat rides for the past two days ... and avoiding the traffic. The boat leaves the dock at Iroquois point several times between 5am and 6:30am in the morning. And runs back the other ways every hour between 2:30 and 6:30pm. Anybody with a military ID card can ride the Grey Boat, but active duty Navy and Navy DOD civilian employees have priority. If yo

Baby Jaiden Has Her Own Blog

Image
Actually, at the moment it will be mommy's new blog. JaidenMorris.com will be all about baby Jaiden (imagine that), with pictures and stories about her life as a baby in the Morris household. photo by alohateam I started this blog for several reasons: I have not been very good lately about getting out my camera and taking pictures. Ana (mommy) will be much more likely to get pictures almost every day I wanted to find a good excuse to get mommy to start a blog of her own ... this is obviously a topic that she's interested in. I thought it might be cool for Jaiden to have her very own domain name. And if she decides that she wants her own website when she gets older, she'll have a great big head start. Not too much over there just yet, but if we get the chance this afternoon, I'll be (trying) to teach Ana how to upload pictures and videos to her new blog. Once she gets a few posts up, I'd very much appreciate if you'd stop by and say hello (you know, encoura
