Where I share some info on what PickledOkra costs to run, and why I think it's worth it to own my data.

#blog #wordpress
So What Does It Cost to Run a Blog?
The answer is: “it depends.” For the PickledOkra blog it costs $64.20/year at my current rate for the domain name and web hosting, which are both through 2030. I don’t pay monthly, however, because the discounts to paying annual are just much better—in this case I paid for 5 years upfront. So, the real answer […]

Behold! The gear I use like my Nikon ZF, and more—that make up the PickledOkra blog!

Plus, I do the math of my coffee and espresso addiction of going to a cafe vs making it at home. LOL.

The Gear of Pickled Okra
Behold! The gear I use like my Nikon ZF, and more—that make up the PickledOkra blog! If it wasn’t obvious, none of this is sponsored. First things first though, I’m not doing any writing or photography without my coffee machine. I use a Gaggia Classic Pro and a Sette 270 grinder. My beans (almost) always […]

I've written out this recipe so many times that I figured I should just make a dedicated post for it. This is the standard dressing we make at home to go with salads and more. Tangy, sweet, complex. It's very good.

The PickledOkra House Dressing Recipe
I’ve written out this recipe so many times that I figured I should just make a dedicated post for it. This is the standard dressing we make at home to go with salads and more. Tangy, sweet, complex.

A Random Trip to Lynnwood
I was sitting around at home after doing some job application stuff and decided to go for a trip to the Alderwood Mall, in Lynnwood to meet my mom for some lunch. It takes about 30 minutes without traffic to drive to Lynnwood from Seattle—the trip on the train and transfer to a bus for […]

I can’t be objective about it, because I tried it (& ultimately liked it) in tribute to my vodka-drinking, Arkansas-raised & okra-eating father, but it may be worth trying a vodka martini garnished with the item in the link below that I’ve dubbed the “Lentini.”
