Tomorrow āŖ@TEDā¬ is going to release an interview that I did with Dr. Uma Valeti, a cardiologist turned entrepreneur who set his sights on solving our looming food scarcity crisis. His company Upside Foods focuses on the creation of alternative proteins; ālab grownā meat. I had the opportunity to try chicken made by upside foods and was amazed on how real it tasted. I believe sustainability in our meat. Industry is a huge problem that we still have to solve and that alternative proteins have a place as one of many solutions.

The first bit of chill has me thinking about the prime rib that Iām going to make my friends for New Yearās Eve. Just a psa i hope all your prime rib crusts include loosely crushed corianderā¦ because thatās one of my favorite parts.

Tomato salads and old house problems
So part of the charm you get when living in a house thatās over 100 years old is that the problems it can have can just f*** your s*** up big time. The cast-iron main line that leads all of the waste water into the sewer has collapsed, meaning that we are unable to allow any water down the drain or else it comes right back up through our basement. Even more crazy is that theyāre unable to find the line itself so weāre going to have to break up the floor of the basement and dig along until they find the broken part of the pipe.
Iāve been doing dishes in a bucket and then emptying the bucket out back so I can keep filming and also showering at the gym. The neighborhood businesses have gotten to know my patronage VERY well so long as they have a bathroom š. Things have been complicated since Friday and they donāt show signs of easing up for the next few days at least.
Weāve had people come in with some kind of radar detector guns trying to find the source of break, but for some reason thereās tons of interference in my houseā¦ Possibly due to the house battery being right next to the pipe causing interference so the only option seems to be to break up the basement floor and follow along the pipe that way.
Iām not complaining tho. Itās been an interesting challenge to live your life without water disposal and weāre managing pretty well. if anything, Iām just grateful to be in a position where, however much is gonna cost to fix, this isnāt going to break me (which is not something I couldāve said a few years ago). I love my house, faults and all, and Iām very lucky to have it.
On a more happier note, my next couple of tomato videos will be focused on salads because cherry tomatoes deserve love too. The first one is going to be a Seshan tomato salad and the other one is going to be a Lao inspired tomato salad using Jeow Som.

New sticker alert.
My buddy Mr. Anderson X illustrated a sticker that I had to have made. Itās me paddle boarding on a tomato sandwich!!!! I like giving them out to people that I meet as well as hide them in my books whenever I visit a bookshop. Thereās no easy way for me to actually sell these so I generally just carry stickers around with me most of the time and give them away. But the first four of these EVER can be found at a comic bookshop called Vault of Midnight in Detroit. I think itās the coolest thing ever that my cookbook is in a comic book shop so I thought putting these stickers in there would be the perfect way to commemorate that.

The only popup I did in the south was in a small town called Milidgeville Georgia well over 10 years ago. Some of the nicest people Iāve met were in that town and Iām thinking Iām overdue to head back down there.
Perhaps Atlanta. Iāve never been except for an overnight stay at the airport. I hear itās a lot of fun over here.

We are so back! Iām pretty much recovered from throwing out my back. 4 days on the couch, one day walking like 5-6 minutes at a time and then working out again by day six and a mobility and arm workout a full week later. Thanks for all your advice on how to recover one think that helped was this crazy spiked acupressure mat. Looks like a torture device and hurt to lie down on but omg the minute I got up my whole back relaxed. Donāt know how it works it just does.
Sundays post we actually do a taste test on the pickled tomatoes. Spoiler: so good. Definitely worth doing.
I want to start doing a Q&A series of videos. Feel free to post questions here and Iāll start responding maybe in a longer YouTube video. Something we can give a shot. If it works, great. If not, nbd. At the very least you might get some good convo with the community too. I might not answer directly in that post but Iāll keep them for a video to answer later on so I might be able to go more in depth. Questions can be about whatever, not just food.
I think YouTube has managed to handle the posting format so it doesnāt overtake peopleās pages. Hopefully that issue was resolved. Let me know if this is the case?

Spent the whole week on the couch playing video games because of my back and honestly it was pretty great lol. Iām playing Horizon Forbidden West and omg this game just keeps going. Itās massive and gorgeous. I know itās an old game at this point but it was free with my PSN pass so I figured Iād give it a try and now Iām fully sucked in.

Iām not for body shaming in anyway way with the exception of the lower back. Itās a poorly designed disc slipping achy piece of sh*t thatās had millions of years to get its act together yet still remains to be piss poor at an upright existence. We donāt walk on our knuckles anymore you stupid b*tch, we up here now. We committed to this life why canāt you?

I think we have an obsession with extremes in America and itās preventing us from being actually happy. We blaze past contentment in our quest for joy and euphoria which results in an inevitable crash almost every time. Instead of maintaining a happy and balanced middle that wavers only a little, itās all or nothing. We canāt just like things we need to love them. We canāt just dislike things we need to be a recruit for an opposing team.
Some of it is a joke, but I think even the jokes we take more to heart than we should deep down.
Celebrities
Political parties
Sports teams
Pizza toppings
Brain hemispheres
Astrological signs
Cities
Coasts
In our need to find a place where we belong weāve attached ourselves to things that really donāt care about us and have pledged loyalty to an organization to the point where we refuse to question their actions. Because loving them is who we are now.
