As always, random stuff.
Food adventures.
I made the most complex packaged “ramen”/noodle recipe ever. Some Chinese regional speciality soup, a river snail soup with crawfish. Had lots of seasonings.
Also the funkiest packaged noodle recipe ever. I can handle only so much funk. I’d say it was a PR that I made it halfway through. Got at least 500 calories out of it.
My wife made kalbi beef ribs the other night. Fairly healthy. Delicious.
I made a schnitzel from pork tenderloin last night. A bit less healthy. Lean meat + eggs is good. Breading fried in oil, less so.

Equipment adventures.
I set up my DIY cable attachment again in my rack. Loading pin + pulley + rope/cord. First time (long ago) I used cheap cotton rope that eventually snapped when I was testing out how much it could hold. Cheap paracord is orders of magnitude better.
Don’t have any actual plans right now. Tricep pushdowns and extensions maybe. Face pulls maybe. It’s just nice to know I have a way to do these.
I’m also still on my “how to set up a roman column” adventure. I’ll elaborate another time on what that actually is.
I bought some “hanging ab straps” from Spud, that I can use to support my legs. These were much pricier than the budget options, but I feel a lot more comfortable trusting my life to them. Thick, solidly built, naturally cushioned and soft to the skin.
Some online reviews say the stitching is questionable, or clumsy, or whatever. It’s not. They just didn’t trim off the loose ends. In truth, the product design and stitching is really good. Properly reinforced and appropriately overbuilt.
