On Sunday, April 25th, I passed my FAA oral/practical exam and became a certified private pilot. That's right, this dragon can fly! Just yesterday I took my family and some friends up into the sky for a nice, smooth ride along the CA coast, a quick trip around the block ( Read more... )

Finding myself hungry and no longer in the mood to spend money (trying to cut fast food purchases out of the budget as well), I finally decided I'd try my hand at egg fried rice.
