A Chromebook for $100 is really low. That’s lower than many tablets that often have less RAM and of course, no keyboard. Google Chromebook 2 GB RAM,16 GB Solid State Drive, $99.99 For me, the keyboard on a notebook makes it way more functional than a tablet or phone. I bought a wireless keyboard a long time ago, because typing a lot on a small screen can be a real pain in the neck. The keyboard helped a lot with that, but I had to a), buy two things and b), carry two things. Expensive...

I need a new mattress, and I’ve found a new, good quality, queen-sized mattress and a boxspring/bedframe for way less than I thought I would be able to. I’ve been needing a new mattress for a while, and I thought I’d be lucky to get a good one for $800. The famous Casper mattresses basically start there, and the Purple and Saatva mattresses share a similar price point. So I just assumed that’s what it would take to get a satisfactory night’s sleep. But my brother Joe...

Egg salad is a great snack. Creamy, at least partly nutritious, and easily combined with other foods. I used to enjoy a store-bought egg salad from time to time, but a homemade egg salad is far superior: it’s fresher, creamier, and it’s easy enough that it’s no problem for even the worst cooks among us. I like it by itself, but even better, I prefer it in conjunction with other foods when I’m making a sandwich. Bacon especially comes to mind… Mmm. Since the main...

I’m really liking the unpredictability of The Punisher and the other Netflix Marvel shows. I’m used to cues and tropes showing me where the plot is going. Those are pretty absent from this show. Generally speaking, that’s a sign of a good show. Unlike most plots on TV, Netflix is taking their time and letting this story develop at its own pace. Full episode gallery Agent Madani is already up and running Dinah was left bleeding on the asphalt at the end of the last episode, but she’s...

This is a show that just gets better as it goes. I’m becoming more invested in this show than I expected. Lewis, who almost killed his father accidentally last episode because of his severe PTSD, digs a giant foxhole in his backyard. He rings it on three sides with sandbags, and half covers it with a tarp. With his assault rifle next to his head, Lewis covers himself with a blanket and goes to sleep. And with this depiction of the reality and extreme suffering mental illness can cause,...

My favorite comfort food is rice pudding. I remember when I was a kid, I would eat as much rice pudding I could get my hands on. I’d sprinkle on some cinnamon if I could get any, some sugar from the sugar bowl, and savor it for as long as I could. The rice and the milk are integral to the taste of rice pudding, for sure, but a big part of rice pudding is the texture. The texture of rice pudding is delicious. Even if for some reason I lost my sense of taste, I’d still eat rice...

Rice is basic, but I remember when I didn’t know how to make it. Everything has to be learned at some point. Luckily it takes no time to learn, and it’s done before your hungry turns to hangry. With recipes that I’ve made before but I’m not completely sure of, I always like to touch base with the original. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun to guess when you turn out right. But cooking guesses that end badly are very disappointing and what’s worse, leave you...

I love hamburgers. I’m starting to be a hamburger connoisseur. Not on purpose! I’m not trying to be a snob, I just love hamburgers. I’m sure you can relate. And anytime I have a better burger, I wonder how I can get to the next level of burger-making. An easy way for most of us to become better burger chefs is to season your meat with more than the default salt and pepper combo. This is the recipe I came up with and the one I use when making burgers for myself and my family. This fully...

I really like being able to quickly satisfy my Chinese food craving without having to order takeout. So I’m always interested in a new, easy Chinese food recipe. This is my personal recipe for orange chicken. I remember when I first made orange chicken, which was a lot of fun and definitely messy. But I’ve made some improvements to both the ingredients and the directions since. This is a really good recipe to make a date out of, since you can prepare the orange sauce and rice (if you want to...
