This is going to be the easiest post I’ve ever written.
I think writing that sentence will be longer than the ingredients for our recipe. Let’s try:
Chicken. Mint. Salt. Plum Sauce. Shichimi.
Yep. (Wait, what was that last one?) Well, finding the correct ingredients for this one might take longer than a trip [...]

Thank you so much to every one who trekked out in the rain last night. Our small group certainly made a large dent in what turned out to be the least attended game in the National’s Park’s history… But the sparsely populated ballpark also made for a great playground [...]
