I ran the Winship 5k on Saturday. It was a fun crowd, and I look forward to running it again next year.

This past week I made the Sesame Chicken recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.

I felt it was too heavy on the dark soy sauce. Of course it was still good, but I would adjust that next time. 4 stars ★★★★☆

I plan to take down some privet (ligustrum) trees this fall, and I think I’m going to need some herbicide to succeed. Here are a bunch of resources I found on privet control and, specifically, recommendations for “cut-and-treat.”
