Ask me food safety and food science questions.

What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

The goal this year (2026) is to lurk less and post and comment more.

    I’ve been on the fence about kimchi. I tried so many in Canada and Australia, but I just don’t like the flavour. However, couldn’t stop eating it when I was in South Korea. Definitely the jar vs fresh thing. I find the jar stuff just too strong.





  • I have a Garmin Fenix 5 Plus. I track my activities whether it’s a long walk, a hike, or paddle. It helps when hiking because if I get a bit lost, I can look at the map to see the trails I’ve walked, or how fast I’ve paddled/hiked/etc. It also has an emergency function so if my heart rate suddenly spikes or if I quickly drop in height (like a cliff, though it has been triggered once when I climbed down a water fall), it’ll send an emergency message to my emergency contacts with coordinates.

    I have it set to remind me to move every hour if I haven’t moved from my desk. This in addition to step counts.

    Sleep tracking, though Garmin is/was notorious for poor sleep tracking, so I don’t really count on it too much.

    Date and time. I also have a little clock on the bottom to tell me what time it is back home so I know when to not call.

    I like seeing my fitness go up on the dial. Not so much the other way around.

    I also use it for my morning wake up alarm. It vibrates on my wrist instead of an audible alarm to wake up the +1. He doesn’t have a smart watch, so I wake up every morning at stupid o’clock.

    Badges. I love collecting the badges.
















  • Knowing where to not eat, stay, swim, or do any beauty/health treatments (tattoos, mani/pedi, hairdressing, etc.), and knowing how to protect myself.

    Scouting out festivals and special events pre-opening and during for free.

    Learning secret recipes and secret ingredients to make food level up.

    Flexibility.

    Edit: Clearly did not read instructions. The top one is the best perk. The second one is on par if I got to do more festivals!
