A quick simple lunch!

I’ve been embracing boiling tofu instead of worrying about frying, pan frying, baking, air frying, etc. and it’s been a great improvement to my mental capacity. Just a couple minutes in slightly salted water and then tossed in a quick sauce. So delicious!

Also pictured are some knife cut noodles, broccoli, vegan brown sauce, and some Lao gan ma. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knife-cut_noodles

The beach is back in town!

It’s April in Charleston so you know what that means, the beach is back! On Wednesday the water was ~22C (~72F) and while it felt kind of cold to get in, it was quite warm once we submerged. I can’t wait to get back into the routine of going to the beach multiple times a week. I spent some time in Colorado early in the year to help my brother after a serious injury and while Colorado is beautiful in its own way, I’m very happy that I live somewhere that is so warm.

Boy do I love a trailing comma. Can’t wait to try this out!

I made some dal tadka with pickled onions and some garlic naan. It was delicious!
First text baseline alignment is a great way to align views horizontally that contain different font sizes. SF Symbols even have builtin support for this!

Great track that many probably know without knowing they know.

Excessively tall biscuit sandwich with Just Egg, Miyokos cheddar slices, Beyond Meat breakfast sausage, and Lightlife tempeh (marianted to taste like bacon). Also biscuit made by my wife. No clue hat recipe she used but they are delicious.
Plussing your iOS app by Sam Henri Gold

Another interesting article about β€œplussing” your apps by Sam Henri Gold on the Lickability blog. The thing he’s describing sounds a lot like a design system or at least what I, as a developer, envision a design system being. Some really useful tips are about spacing, color tokens, typography, empty states, and using context menus with buttons for advanced actions. I have read this article before and it was really interesting.

This was a few weeks ago, but my wife made an amazing potato soup. I also added some pimento cheese and it was a phenomenal addition. Thanks to Bangin’ Vegan Eats for supply the pimento cheese.
