upgrading to a 17pro after 4 years. tbh i loved the 13pro but recently its performance has been declining. battery health is at 74%, constantly going sos mode/no sim, dead pixel on my screen for the past 2.5 years, and macro and 0.5 lens issues that won’t go away. plus my 13pro has been eligible to upgrade for a while now.

sucks cause i’d keep it if it didn’t cost $700 to fix all the problems. anyway, nice verizon rep waived the $40 upgrade fee. will be trading in my iphone once transfer is complete. can’t wait to see how long this will take (i have heard mixed things- 1 hour-2days)🫪🫪🫪

little 2pm breakfast. holy. this is what i dream about

sourdough—> cottage cheese—>tomato—> prosciutto—> basil—> fresh mozzarella—> balsamic glaze

found my moms old nikon d80 camera a few days ago and i’ve been messing around with it and figuring out how it works.

i went fishing today and was able to take an amazing picture of this blue heron. was really shocked and pleasantly surprised by how it turned out. i personally like the first three pictures the best. i think the dark green background looks good and contrasts the bird beautifully. my parents and brother like the last picture better. either way so cool!

third pic was it freshly cooked, but my dad didn’t finish the whole thing (which is why it’s now leftovers). i didn’t think it would taste good after being in the fridge for 24 hours but it’s still super good😭😭😭

post workout meal. sirloin steak+ sides lol. white rice, sweet potato, 2 over easy eggs, and a corn salsa. cooked to rare pulled at about 118°. bought in a 3 pack from aldi

sear is lowkey nonexistent but that’s okay. taste is super good which kinda surprised me.

before this i had only ever cooked ny strips and a ribeye once. did 1 minute, flipped 50 secs, flipped at 25 seconds and again at next 25 sec mark and pulled it. got this in a 3 pack for about $8.50

ordered:

medium cold brew, 3 pumps peanut butter, coffee milk, light ice

the only things she put on the sticker/receipt was the peanut butter swirl. lot of baristas do this when it’s slow or if they were foregoing the 50¢ for the CM (i used to work at dunkin and starbucks LOL). anyway i usually don’t care when they don’t put everything on the sticker but sometimes i feel like they’ll forget (esp the light ice)

anyway, this post is ab the coffee milk. ik coffee milk doesn’t make the drinks as light as whole milk does AND swirls make iced coffee and cold brew a few shades lighter once mixed. it just didn’t taste like there was much in it, if any at all. what do you guys think based on the shade??? (cuz i think she forgot the coffee milk, and the cold brew appears lighter cause the swirl, but i could be mistaken)

italian black truffles, lemon cured egg yolk, parmesan, cream sauce ($37🫠🫠🫠)

so delicious though and obsessed with the pasta shape!

375°F for one hour in the oven. (these were in for a bit longer cause i got distracted making my ground beef)

sprayed olive oil and seasoned with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and cinnamon

granted, i should have taken some pics of some slices from the thickest part but oh well

was going for rare. not sure what i’d say but sure as hell tasty

i just love chicken cutlets so much. SO simple yet SO delicious

just mixed mikes hot honey w a little soy sauce and some cholula. then poured that on each cutlet after cooking and blotting the grease off

yes i know there’s like no toppings LMFAO. still delish. i loveee the aldi tuna steaks. ik there’s debate about eating them raw. but i’ve been doing it for like the past year and have never had any issues! i marinate it after dicing with soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, kewpie mayo, and siracha. paired w aldi jasmine rice as well

rotini, 1 chicken thigh, pesto, 1 egg mixed with shredded parmesan

so delicious and simple

cheat meal

add ons: green onion, mexican blend shredded cheese, soft boiled eggs, jalapeño cheddar chicken sausage, tteokbokki

love doing this for the sauce and then just adding some of the noodle water. it becomes so creamy and amazing. first and only meal of the day woohooooo i’d say i def made it worth it

og carbonara btw

add ons: soft boiled eggs, green onion, jalapeno cheddar chicken sausage, tteokbokki, mexican shredded cheese

gosh i love salmon

this was super cheap. $7 and def not the best but i just wanted to see how it compared to the usual steaks i get at target and aldi
cooked it for 55 seconds one side then about 40 for the other. did the fat the pulled it. let it rest and when i first cut it it was definitely bluerare. so i threw it back on for prolly a total of a minute (30 seconds each side). honestly not horrible and tastes fairly decent (the crust is absolutely horrendous tho. don’t even know where it is)

surf n turf dinner tnnn

i loveee breakfast
