Typing speed 77 WPM

 


I've been training touch typing again. My last great 100% accuracy was 83 WPM. Looks like I'm out of practice. I only get 77 WPM today. Probably because the keyboard is different, too. I'm not using Apple aluminum keyboard, where I can just send pulses, instead of keypresses. Still, the mechanical keyboard that I'm using isn't that bad.

Lunch Journal #3 : Mold on my Bagel

 



I was just going to eat lunch, where upon taking out a bagel, I see some cobweb like thing on the bagel. Looking at it closely, I didn't see any spider. Research indicates that it is, in fact, some kind of fungi instead. Looks like some spores didn't get neutralized while in storage. The web looks like it has tiny black dots on the strands.

Obviously, this makes me throw out the whole batch. Although I only see it on one bagel, I'm not interested in finding out otherwise the hard way. This particular 6 pack comes from Safeway,  although I'm sure other shops are susceptible as well.

Research also indicates that screw top lid can be penetrated by bugs. I've been putting in bay leaf in most of my food storage,  now.

Lunch Journal #2


Today's lunch is Rice and Beef. The rice is cooked separately with a rice cooker. The ground beef is cooked using cast iron pan. Add zucchini and egg, both pickled in the same jar. Sriracha for taste.

Lunch journal 2020 #1

 




I'm blogging my cooking. This is just for me to document my attempt of eating healthy. I don't eat like this every day. In fact, left to my own devices, I usually just rice and hot dog, and nothing else. I do try to at least eat some kind of good food once a week. Usually, that happens on weekends when I have time.


I'm trying out Zojirushi Mr. Bento. This package includes the thermos, containing soup container, entree container, both thermally shielded. An extra snack container, not thermally shielded. It includes fancy carrier bag, soft and thick, as well as a spoon and chopsticks.  

The thermos itself works really well, with the food still being warm after 4 hours. The key is to put in hot water inside the soup container. Or just hot water for tea, if you don't want soup.

This lunch is rice and beef, with some sriracha added. Miso soup and grapes completes the meal. Since I eat the same thing breakfast and lunch, this saves time because I only have to cook once to eat twice.

In conclusion, a successful experiment.
