(Update 2026: I only watched the first season of The Sinner: Netflix. The story is new each season. After the first season, I'd had enough. It's a very heavy series. Still at the time I watched the first season it was the perfect medicine.)
Cucina Naturale | Simple organic whole food
I have a food website. I've not updated it in a couple of years but there is some fun stuff on it. I often documented what I made when I was learning new things in the kitchen.

What happens when people seek out help for their suffering? How do people heal from the atrocities that life throws our way? ...
Rest in peace my dear friend and comrade in madness…Ian Scheffel (formerly Bill Scheffel)
We have no memory of being in the womb or emerging from the birth canal. Dreams are quickly forgotten if remembered at all. We experience emotions but may not always know why. The most fundamental dimensions of our experience cannot be found in any solid way, quantified, or even seen.
