Happy 2022! This year is shaping up to be an incredibly busy year for us, and Teri and I still have so much to discuss and share from 2021 in upcoming articles!
I wanted to announce our decision to remove Google Ads from this blog site. While our readership has steadily been growing, the volume of traffic that our blog receives is not large enough to benefit from Google Ads.
Recently, I cleaned out our blog's media gallery. It hasn't been updated in quite some time. I am excited to use some of the recent updates to the Squarespace platform to start posting photos and videos from some of our adventures.
Hello Everyone! I can’t believe it’s been 2 months since we’ve posted, I hope you haven’t forgotten about us!
Who would have thought? After 112 years, the City of Las Vegas was (finally) awarded a professional sports team, by the NHL of all leagues. To say that critics were skeptical would be an understatement.
Today marks 6 months since you crossed the rainbow bridge. I wish I could say that I miss you less or that your absence has gotten easier with time, but that wouldn't be true. Your brother Scout misses you very much and still looks for you every day.
On May 22nd, our sweet baby girl turned 1 year old. I can hardly believe it! This has been the quickest year of my entire life - it really seems like yesterday that we went to grab a quick breakfast before heading to the hospital, not knowing that we would be having a baby that day.
I am still totally obsessed with the Instant Pot and have been researching and trying new recipes, while also sticking to a few of our favorites. One of those favorites is shrimp scampi. It's unbelievably quick and easy to make and has our entire family (including baby Rosslyn) smacking our lips with delight.
Like many others, I swore that I would NEVER drive a minivan. They are so not cool, right?! Well, I am not ashamed to say that I changed my mind and I don't regret it one bit.
It's time for me to share my first recipe for the Instant Pot! This isn't really a recipe, but I felt it was important to share. Hard boiled eggs were the first official thing I made, kind of as a test run so that I could familiarize myself with the IP.
I hate to say it, but grocery shopping is the bane of my existence. It's a necessary evil, because obviously we need food in the house, but I absolutely hate having to go to the store.
I think part of my hate is due to how crowded the stores near us always seem to be. Initially, we were going to a nearby Smith's because they have a great deli and decent prices. However, our particular location seems small, the parking lot is a mess and it is always jam packed full of people, no matter what time we went. I would always try to avoid the shopping or put it off as long as possible because it annoyed me so much.
Although 2017 ended with some sadness, overall it was one of the best years of my life. I thought I'd write a recap of the year and also post some goals I have for 2018.
Today has been a very rough day at both the Williams and Nicpon households. This morning we had to make the very difficult decision to say goodbye to our beloved Moose. Although I am overcome with sadness, I know that this was the best thing for him. His health had started to decline over the last few months, and over the last 2 weeks had become worse.
Welcome to the second part of my 2 part series on writing a Python Application to handle OpenTable Affiliate Referral Links. If you missed my first article, it has a writeup of my favorite new development environment: Python 3.x + PyCharm Pro + Docker, so be sure to check it out.
Teri recently applied and was accepted as an OpenTable Affiliate, so that we can provide the convenience of online OpenTable reservations to our readers. What we received is a useful branding press kit, some branding requirements, and the credentials and URIs for accessing a RESTful API. I love the opportunities to work on my Python skills, as well as learn new things, but I'm a bit baffled why OpenTable doesn't offer a simple WYSIWYG widget builder for affiliates that are restuarant gurus not programmers. Obviously, the RESTful API is awesome for programmers and the Warmest Robot, but the Warmest Human thought it was a bit much to ask of a non-technical user. With a widget builder, OpenTable Affiliates could build a referral link that meets branding requirements without having to ask an INTP for help. I've decided to help others on the net by posting my method and code in series of articles.
As you all know, I have recently revamped the blog and transitioned from Blogger to Squarespace. While I was making that transition, Teri had discussed her interest in starting a blog of her own to publish product and restaurant reviews, chronicle her adventures in motherhood, and showcase her vast knowledge of craft beers and breweries.
