Last night was another experiment in cooking – I tried making Loco Moco. Even though I’m typically not a fan of runny eggs, this was a favorite dish I’d get from Rainbow Drive-In when I would spend summers in...
I realized last night that I’ve been altering my writing style to satisfy a website plugin. I had installed it because it does offer useful features, but something it does is highlight sentences the algorithm doesn’t like – passive...
