Eggstras

The off-duty page.

Things that have nothing to do with markets and everything to do with being a person. Books, garden, kitchen, rabbit holes. The small things that make a life.

Trading is what I do. Eggstras is who I am.

The Nest needs a corner that isn't about charts. So this is the corner. A scrapbook, basically. A place for the books that wrecked me in the best way, the recipes I keep coming back to, the Harry Potter rabbit hole I fell into last week, the hostas finally coming up after winter, the song that's been stuck in my head for a month. None of it has to be useful. None of it has to be on-brand. That's the point.

Phoenixes lay eggs. Eggs hatch new things. Some of those things turn out to be unrelated to anything else, and that's fine.

Egg of the Week.

One curated thing. Refreshed weekly.

Week One
Currently obsessed with...

The first Egg goes here.

Once the site goes live, the first Egg of the Week will live in this slot. A song, a book, a photo of the garden, a Harry Potter detail nobody talks about, a recipe that worked. The crowd doesn't care that it isn't trading. They care that it's real.

Refresh schedule: every Sunday morning, with the coffee.

The basket

A scrapbook in categories.

๐Ÿ“š Books

What I'm reading

The book stack on the nightstand, with thoughts. Fiction mostly, the occasional weird non-fiction, no business books.

๐ŸŒฑ Garden

The grow log

Hostas. Potatoes in grow bags. Whatever's coming up this week. Photos and small wins.

๐Ÿณ Kitchen

Recipes that worked

No food blog preamble. No SEO life story. Just the actual recipe, the actual changes I made, and whether it was worth it.

Harry Potter rabbit holes

The lore corners. The fan theories. The casting decisions that still haunt. Yes, this lives on the trading channel website.

The trading playlist

What's been on while the charts are open. And what's been on when the charts are closed.

๐Ÿฐ Rabbit holes

Weird internet finds

The articles that ate four hours. The Wikipedia trails. The YouTube channels with 800 subscribers and one perfect video.

โœ๏ธ Tools

Things I actually use

The pen, the mug, the keyboard, the corner of the desk. Off-brand. No affiliate links.

๐Ÿ“ธ Walks

Out the door

Photos from walks, drives, weekends. The phoenix doesn't live at the desk all the time.

Some Eggstras are hidden.
If you find one, that's your secret with the Nest.
