Short rib ragu. Short rib braised for 6 hours. This was so, so good, and we had enough short rib that we have leftovers for another short rib thing tomorrow! The house smelled like goodness alllllll day. #SundayCooking

We braised some short rib all day, which has become a weekend tradition. Sundays are for football and braising things over the span of 6+ hours. Reduced the jus, made some whipped potatoes and green beans. Y’all know the drill by now. 😂

Creamy lemon garlic broccoli orzo with salmon! After a busy day of being productive it was a nice way to slow down for the evening and cook something together. Recipe: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMaQYkGP/

SecKC October was another banger!! We got a bit deeper on Meshtastic radio, we learned how easy it is to abuse certs in a highly sneaky stealthy way to own an organization, and Ohm-I was lights out fantastic, enjoy his track Clickin’, which he performed last night!! #SecKC

Braised a pot roast with carrots and onions (and garlic, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, beef broth) all day whilst in Webexes, the house smelled glorious. Whipped potate, reduced the jus. Easy peasy, warm in my belly.

Filet and creamy onion and garlic orzo! Sweet corn, garlic bread. It’s been a week, I needed the quiet meditation of cooking. 🧘🏻‍♀️

Short rib grilled cheese! We make this one at least once a month. Braised the short rib for 6 hours in caramelized mirepoix, red wine, and beef stock. We usually reduce the jus for dipping but it was too greasy this time after we strained out the veggies. Still delightful.

Sesame chicken and chicken lo mein! Had a bunch of chicken thighs that needed to be cooked. Was the crispiest chicken yet, definitely using the final step wet batter from now on.

This being my 10th GSX didn’t make it any less fantastic. It was so good to see my peers from around the world, learn some things, eat some good food, and leave inspired for the next year! Now, home to Johnny and pupperinos!! #Cisco #LoveWhereYouWork

I legitimately have the coolest job at Cisco. I get go to talk about futuristic and entirely audacious security technology using AI with brilliant, dedicated customers who care about protecting people and data the best way(s) they know how.

I’ve been determined to get to a higher veggie ratio when we cook. This is my most favorite way to eat veggies, stir fry on the Blackstone, hibachi style. I still have the hot sauce recipe from my favorite hibachi place of all time, so I made a fresh bottle! Makes good leftovers, too. #saturdaynight

Great week with the Hypershield incubation team in San Diego!! It’s always so lovely hanging with folks you get to work with from all over the world but rarely see in person. We’re a small team doing big things!! Ready to be home with my bearded better half and doggos. 😊

Sleep deprived but happy to be headed to San Diego to catch up with the Hypershield team (and see my non HS homies attending Cisco Live!). Time for an inflight nap 😂

Holy shit, what a SecKC. Like old times, but even better! Our speakers were incredible, I’m so grateful to have the chance to learn from brilliant, kind, and gracious humans like @joegrand.bsky.social and @chrissistrunk.bsky.social! I’m still sleep deprived but already dreaming of July!! #SecKC

A big THANK YOU to @d0rkph0enix.bsky.social @hevnsnt.bsky.social and the entire #SecKC crew for the hospitality and for having me speak last night. It was also very cool to see @joegrand.bsky.social and his microcontroller glitching. Good to see @jotunvillur.bsky.social and several others as well!

Twas time to make a @lasagnalove.bsky.social for a local family, which means we make one for us, too! Let the meat sauce simmer and reduce for about 2 hours. They were excellent cheesy meaty squares. 😂🤌🏻

Lovely date night/dual birthday dinner at Ocean Prime KC. Food was delightful as always, and when I asked if the dry ice from another cocktail could be applied to my espresso martini because I’m easily entertained, the server smiled and made it happen.

I feel like I should get bonus points somehow for giving an in depth technical presentation this morning while 3 of my idiot dogs were in my office creating my least favorite sounds; 1 enthusiastically eating his own ass, 1 whining for attention, and 1 chewing on his paw. 🫠

The BsidesKC after party was some of the wackiest shit I’ve had the privilege to help orchestrate in some time. We just kept asking each other, ‘what did we do?’ 🤣 Shout out to Firefly Lounge for being so accommodating and letting the nerds do silly themed shit in their bar. @bsideskc.bsky.social

Great track day Wednesday at OIR, I haven’t had time to go through and edit the Insta360 footage, but here is what I had on my phone! As soon as we have the storage space, Johnny needs a super car, he’s way too good at this not to have one.

Smoked a brisket and whole chicken for a client meeting today, and they ate ALL of it. 😂 Fair exchange, as they let us go an hour over our allotted meeting time, the discussion was so lively we just kept going. Good and productive day. Love me some whiteboarding with a side of smoked meats!

Sometimes when stressed out, cooking helps! Simmered the meat sauce for 3 hours, and we are both fully on the bechamel train. Delicious. ❤️

Home after not even 24 hours in Chicago to present to a partner in their beautiful Chicago office! Got to talk shop on Hypershield and try to demystify using AI to look at common problems in security in a new way. It’s easy to get excited about working on truly cool shit. 🤌🏻

After work we ran out to a car meetup with KC Exotics, then home to pull the short rib that had been braising for 5 hours out of the oven. Reduced the jus, made some whipped potate. Lovely Friday night. 🫶🏻

I was gifted one of these tonight at SecKC by Arden, and I’ll never stop laughing
