Chicken Katsu
It was hard deep frying inside the house until we upgraded our Electrolux hood with a 1HP Mitsubishi blower on our roof.

Allomyrina dichotoma
Female, I guess. AKA Japanese rhinoceros beetle, Japanese horned beetle, or kabutomushi (カブトムシ). They show up in our yard at least once a year. The males are more impressive, with their long horn. I was not shocked to read about their use in Chinese medicine, but I was surprised to see that researchers have discovered that their larva show anti-obesity and antibiotic effects. Thank you, Wikipedia!

Secret Kiln
If you know, you know. Seeing this made me want to watch True Detective S1 again. True Detective set in rural Thailand would have the perfect atmosphere.

Inanna Summons Kenny G
So surprisingly well-done, I had to post it: IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT – Merkurius Gilded (ft. Kenny G and Max Gorelick) File under: Black metal, Experimental metal, Avant-garde metal (ew!)

Having played with many of the first AI video generation sites, I am ready to subscribe to either: Sora vs. Lumiere As a side note, Claude has replaced ChatGPT for many of my tasks, especially translation.

This soup is a bit rare and old school, but I’ve found it’s an excellent indicator that you should try other less common dishes on the menu if it’s good. Places that don’t have fresh ingredients all the time won’t bother to make this.

Celica GT
I found this beauty at one of my go-to breakfast places in town – it doesn’t serve breakfast food specifically, but it’s open from early, so you can eat whatever they make from the early morning all day. I usually order several bags of curry, stir fries, soups, and desserts to take home. But hey, I got all excited talking about food, and this is a car post. This is an original or reproduction Celica 2000 GT liftback, reminiscent of a mini ‘Stang from the same era. It might have the legendary 18RG engine in it. I’m still heartsick about what to do with the Crown (it’s been sitting in…

Khao Pad Moo
Pork fried rice – in its purest form, but I can’t remember how this one actually tasted. I never order fried rice outside, but Mina loves it. I prefer making it at home, unless it’s really good. I think this one was at my friend’s café out on the Maha Sarakham ring road; the food is pretty good there.

Palworld
I’ve never seen a game be so addictive to so many types of gamers so quickly… I’d rather grind ore and wood with my Pals than steal cashouts with the current The Finals meta, which is kind of all I was doing until last week.
