What I ate last week: January 9, 2026
Shepherd’s Pie
I don't know why I never made Shepherd's pie before, and usually I try a recipe a few times before committing it to writing, but this turned out so good in just one try that I have to document it, if only so I can make it again for myself.

Dino’s Kouzina
Dino's Kouzina in West Concord is starting to win me over. I have always liked the Italian Pizza, but now the meatball sub has made my list of favorite local sandwiches.

gin no. 117 – Sylvius Dutch Dry Gin
no. 117 - Sylvius Dutch Dry Gin I got this gin as a gift from Niki and Sreyleak when I visited to meet their baby in October 2025 and opened it on December 1. Named for Dr. Franciscus Sylvius who is undeservedly credited for inventing gin. The flavor is dominated by anise, which gives it a limited audience.

Monthly Roundup: October – 2025
October was good. The highlight was my trip to Houston, but I also had a great date night with my wife in Cambridge, cooked some great meals including a saffron risotto and a perfect sausage and cabbage dish, and tried a bunch of new gins. Here's the roundup.
