The shadows of the devil Murdock.

The #instrumental intro of #daredevil was very well done. The series itself really surprised me with delivering an interesting story and a good cast. Will look forward to season 2.

simple things make me happy

I always pass these small #plants planted in a box underneath a sign at the gym. They always have me stopping to get a second look. #love the #colors.

(Track #7: Electric Youth – The Best Thing)

Preparation
ACTIVE: 15 MIN TOTAL: 15 MIN
Using kitchen shears, cut along the backs of shrimp through shells and just deep enough to expose veins; remove veins. Pat shrimp dry. Whisk cornstarch, black pepper, and ¾ tsp. salt in a large bowl; add shrimp and toss to coat.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in 2 batches, fry shrimp until golden, crisp, and cooked through, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to paper towels and let drain, then toss in a medium bowl with Sichuan peppercorns and remaining ¾ tsp. salt. Add chile and cilantro to bowl and toss to combine.

Life is the best teacher of lessons

There are times I, myself, take things for granted. Seeing moments like these, wether in movies or in actual events, It always serves as a good reminder for me to always be grateful. To remember the importance of the little things in my life, and the people in it.

Breakfast is the best meal of the day

Ingredients

SERVINGS: 4

• 6 large eggs
• ¾ cup heavy cream
• ¾ cup whole milk
• ¼ cup sugar
• Pinch of kosher salt
• 6 ¾-thick slices challah, brioche, or Pullman loaf
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided, plus more for serving
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
• Pure maple syrup, jam, or powdered sugar (for serving)
  

  Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 250°. Lightly beat eggs, cream, milk, sugar, and salt in a large shallow baking dish (a lasagna pan is perfect). Add bread, turn to coat, then press down gently on bread until you feel it start to soak up custard mixture—this is key for a luscious, not dry, texture. Let soak, 10 minutes.
  • Flip bread and soak on second side, pressing down gently from time to time, until bread is saturated but not soggy, another 10 minutes or so.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp. butter and 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When foaming subsides, carefully lift 3 slices of bread from custard, letting excess drip back into dish, and cook in skillet until golden brown and center of toast springs back when pressed, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer toast to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in oven while you cook remaining slices of bread with 1 Tbsp. butter and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil.
  • Serve French toast with butter, maple syrup, jam, and/or powdered sugar.
