This picture makes me happy
If I remember right, it's from a Panago commercial where one of the taglines is "Greek is crazy," and it's featuring their Greek-inspired menu options.
If I were to psychoanalyze myself, I'd probably say I take joy in this image because I have unresolved, unfulfilled dreams of being a rock star and I'm able to see a happier version of myself portrayed as a musically talented, tzatziki-covered gyro, rocking out on a television screen as snippets of take out food flash interspersed to the beat of catchy electronic music.
It oozes with confidence and fire roasted umami flavours.
It's probably a better driver than me as well.
Man alive.

AND I JUST GOT IT!
It's a gyro rocking out with a guitar.
A rocking gyro.
A guitar gyro.
aka a Guitar Hero.
Gold.

Pointless Post #107 - Priorities Edition Revisited
While talking with a female colleague:
Colleague: [blah blah blah] ...and my ten-year career plan.
Me: [with a look of amazement at her and simultaneous disgust at myself] Ten-year plan??? I don't even know what I'm eating for dinner tonight!
This is one of the differences between men and women.
---------------------------------------------
Last night I reached for my spool of floss and pulled out a tiny, waxed thread only to discover that I had run out of floss. Shortly after, I went to bed wondering when I had last purchased floss...
This morning while examining that same spool to make sure I was indeed out of floss (half asleep last night), I discovered my handwriting on the bottom of the container in black sharpie. I felt an immense sense of closure, smiled to myself, and them updated it with another date in blue sharpie.
Good job past-Tim, good job.

How to Make Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup (w/pictures!)
Super simple and super delicious! A defos easy comfort food staple. Soup for everyone!
1. I chopped up some carrots, celery, and one onion and put it in the Instant Pot. I used straight-from-the-freezer chicken thighs and put them in the center of the veggies and added water.
2. I set the cook time to Manual > High Pressure > ~25 min (20 min probably would've sufficed). This is what came out:
3. I deboned and shredded the chicken and added some generous handfuls of elbow macaroni, a slab of butter, pepper, salt, and thyme. I also seasoned my shredded chicken before putting it back in.
4. After stirring everything well, I put the chicken thigh bones back in for more flavour.
5. After setting the cook time to Manual > High Pressure > 10 min (I'm really into overcooking things... I'm thinking 5min would've been plenty), this is what came out:
6. Stirred, bowled, and ready to eat!
7. And then I spilled it everywhere because I'm a klutz. The hot soup burned my thigh through my sweatpants a little. I also said a few choice words.
8. Sigh, the end.
In other news, my couch has a beautiful and comforting aroma now...
