Trust Wallet Scammers on Twitter This week I made the mistake of tweeting about an issue I was experiencing with Trust Wallet. I didn't think much would come of it, but I was hoping that Trust Wallet and Pancake Swap might see the tweet and comment on the issue or just secretly fix whatever was going on. What I wasn't expecting was that I'd get tweets from accounts trying to to gain access to my Trust Wallet. There were two types of accounts that tweeted at me. One was an…

Wrote a little bit about my experience making the mistake of tweeting about Trust Wallet. Just a bunch of scammers responded with links to Google Docs that tried to get me to give away my recovery pass phrases. It was depressing. Here are some pics of the Google Docs sites. Stay safe out there. You can read more here if you want: https://read.cash/@stevenvanelk/trust-wallet-scammers-on-twitter-f014c309
Second Shot of Moderna Vaccine This week I got my second shot of the Moderna Vaccine. I'm so excited to be two weeks away from being fully vaccinated. It will be just in time for wedding season. My first wedding this year is a week after that two week wait. I can't describe how much better I feel about shooting weddings this year as compared to last year. There's no control at weddings with guests and whether or not they're sick or wearing masks or anything. So every wedding…
Mediterranean Steak with Rice Pilaf, Roasted Veggies and Tzatziki Sauce The other night I made some Mediterannean seasoned steak with a rice pilaf and veggies. I made a Tzatziki sauce to go with it too. This was a pretty easy meal to make. I just cut the zucchini and carrots into 1/2 inch pieces and roasted at 450 degrees until they were browned (about 15 minutes). The steak I just added a little salt and black pepper to it and then grilled for 4-6 minutes on each side over…

Crispy Cheddar Chicken with Loaded Mashed Potatoes and Asparagus I made this the other night for my wife. It was supposed to be panko on the chicken, but since my wife can't eat gluten I had to substitute for gluten free bread crumbs instead. So the batter on the chicken was just a tablespoon of melted butter mixed with the gluten-free bread crumbs, a little salt and pepper, and cheddar cheese. I mixed those ingredients up, then took the chicken and put a little mayo on it.…
Crispy Cheddar Chicken with Loaded Mashed Potatoes and Asparagus. I made this the other night for my wife. She's not supposed to eat gluten, so I had to sub out the panko I was supposed to use to bread the chicken with Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs. It was barely noticeable.

Drank a Deep Depths from HOMES brewery the other day with my brothers. Really good fruited sour. I might be coming around on these fruited sours and on sour beers in general. They’re interesting. #Beer
Did noise.cash change how they do tips? It used to be that I would get notifications that I had free tips I could give out. Now, every time I like a post, it just shows up as me having given a tip. Which is cool, but not what I expected. Anyone else know what’s going on?

Just a little photography humor making fun of the Canon eos R5. “Two Canon EOS R cameras struggle to melt snow, a flaw in the product line that Canon fixed with the introduction of the Canon EOS R5.” https://weddinghangover.com/blog/2021/5/4/greta-thunberg-begs-videographers-to-stop-using-the-canon-r5 #Photography
The omelette I made my wife for Mother’s Day broke apart when I plated it. Just eggs, a red bell pepper, red onion, avocado, maple bourbon bacon, and Gouda. Oh, with a little sriracha drizzled on top. I made her a cappuccino and got her some orange juice too. Good start to Mother’s Day. 😉 #Food
Mother's Day Omelette for My Wife Woke up early today to make breakfast for my wife because it's Mother's Day. My wife loves omelettes, so I ran to the store to pick up a few supplies we were lacking. Mainly, I needed to get bacon and avocado, but while I was at the store I might have snagged some chocolate caramel candies for her as well and some whip cream. First thing when I got home, I made my wife a drink. The other day we got coffee at a donut shop. I ordered a frozen…
Gave the omelette a second try and had a little more success. Still didn't quite get it to roll up. It's like a half roll and then a flop. But it tasted good.

All of my transactions on smart chain are taking a really long time. They used to take no time at all. Anyone know why this is? I’m also frequently getting a pop up saying “transaction underpriced”. Am I doing something wrong? #BinanceSmartChain
I dropped a book on my foot and said, “Stupid book!” My Apple Watch heard those words and froze on that screen for an hour afterward.
One of my favorite photos from last year. Walking around downtown after an elopement and I saw this statue with all of these Christmas lights strung up behind it. The monument behind the statue makes it almost look like the statue has wings at a glance. It was a cool moment to see. #Photography
Made my first trip to the new Shake Shack in Fishers, Indiana. Shake Shack is my favorite fast food restaurant. Their burgers are amazing. I used to have to wait till I took a trip to Chicago or New York to get some Shake Shack. Having one 20 minutes from my house doesn’t bode well for my waistline or heart. But it’s great for my tastebuds. Got the bacon avocado burger, fries, and the Black and Tan Shake (which is perfect for dipping fries in… like a frosty at Wendy’s). #Food
Shake Shack in Indiana I first visited Shake Shack several years ago when my wife and I went to New York. It'd be fair to say that I instantly became obsessed. Okay, maybe not obsessed, but I did like the food a lot. After that first experience, I decided any time we went back to New York I would make a point of stopping at a Shake Shack. Then Shake Shack expanded to Philly, Chicago, Denver, and LA. And I made it a point to stop off every time I visited one of those cities…
Left my MacBook Pro plugged in last night to make sure it was fully charged when I woke up. So of course when I open my MacBook Pro to start editing this morning, it’s completely out of battery for some reason. I’m starting to really hate Macs. #Photography

Last night we went to a lantern lighting festival called Night Lights. It was really cool. #Photography
I might have accidentally let our lantern go before the rest, so if you see one lantern that's really high up and far away, that's mine. #Photography
The price of BNB just keeps dropping. 😅 #BinanceSmartChain
What a great time to have switched all my yield farming to Binance Smart Chain. I'm not worried at all about the fact that every coin I have that's on the Binance Smart Chain has seen its value plummet this week. Not at all... 😅😅😅 #BinanceSmartChain
Rainy day in downtown Indianapolis. #Photography
What's the inverse of a liquidity pool? I need to find a way to get impermanent gains.

It’s been real fun the last week. #BinanceSmartChain
View from yesterday during our afternoon shoot. We don’t try to schedule engagement shoots at 4:30, but it’s nice that when we have one at that time we get some decent cloud coverage. #Photography
