Please see above notes re: sriracha.
And also turkeyburger with lettuce, tomato, beet, pineapple, fried egg (ketchup, mustard, mayo etc) and sriracha. English muffin bun. I half invented it, but seriously, it's amazing. I call it the Holy F*ck Burger. Cus that's what you say when you try it for the first time.


Favorite Quotes:

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary” ~ Steve Jobs

"You’re dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway." ~ Walt Disney

"Leap and the net will appear." ~ Zen saying

"Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity."

"The biggest mistake people make in life is not trying to make a living at doing what they most enjoy."

"Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness." ~ Maya Angelou

"Regret for wasted time is more wasted time."
