2023 in reflection

"The only path I know for figuring out a better way to spend your life is to sit and think. You simply have to carve out some time to think carefully about what you're doing, why you're doing it, and what you're really trying to achieve. Nobody stumbles into a well lived life. It has [...]

November 2023

It appears November was an epic month of food: eating lots of cuisines or foods that I haven't eaten in absolutely ages, work having lots of tasty meals and treats especially relating to some product launches.
