First is Matt, the Zero.

FYI, I’m not actually missing a tooth, that was a little silicone cover for something I found and slipped it over my tooth and through editing it looks like I am missing a tooth.

Hello I apologize for my incapability of smiling or showing emotion, but I figured a good handful of people know what I look like already so why not post on here as I've wanted to for a while.




I hope you morons are all staying safe during this pandemic and are having a great day

I dyed my hair a couple days ago because I needed to occupy myself during Quarantine. I used to be a darker brown color now it's more of a light brown borderline blondish.

First picture is from like Late January when I was still in my dorm. The after picture is like 15 minutes ago post shower.

Been a bit since I posted here, I guess I may as well espouse this since it's been a hell of a ride. About late November I found that my cancer had come back and aggressively so. I needed to get back into remission (or some semblance of it) with some less powerful chemo to receive the hell that is getting a bone marrow transplant which *nearly* guarantees that the cancer gets destroyed with some of the most powerful chemo available. Now I'm on maintenance chemo to make sure it doesn't come back (which can still happen in very rare cases despite the transplant). A lot of stuff has happened so photos say a thousand words as they say.

My mop of a hairdo fully came back right before treatment started

Tried to keep high spirits through the weeks of transplant

Leaving a hospital without an immune system with Covid-19 around was certainly interesting

One thing that I learned from staying inside before it was cool (and now that it is too) is that cooking is a ton of fun so here are some photos

Beef wellington is a pain to make but definitely worth it

Really regret not taking a photo of my crown roast after it was cooked, looked too delicious to not eat on the spot tbh

Rolling dough for chocolate croissants is tough (took 3 hours) but the layers and taste were amazing

Catfish and dill with rice crackers (aka Chả Cá Thăng Long in Vietnam where this recipe comes from) is an amazing simple dish I think everyone should try

Smoked ribs and pork butt are always delicious and smells amazing, definitely worth the 5+ hours of work

Clam chowder and bread bowls is surprisingly easy to make with the right recipes and hilariously I make the bread a lot because of how simple and good it is

The crunch of porchetta is amazing

Pork buns are deceptively difficult to make, they taste great though!

Is going through the work for sous vide worth it for chicken? Definitely.

Dunno why the plating is odd but pulled pork belly with crispy skin is amazing regardless of presentation

Pan seared salmon is one of the fastest yet most impressive dishes I've made

Eggplant parmigiana with frozen eggplant from the garden is great!
