Eggs, sourdough bread, olive oil, lemons, arugula, parmesan, chicken thighs, garlic, cherry tomatoes, basil, pasta.

GPS-based hiking app that records elevation, pace, and trail conditions. Could overlay route on topo maps. Look into offline map tile caching for areas without service.

Token bucket vs sliding window for the public API. Need to handle burst traffic from webhook retries. Redis-backed counter with 60s TTL. Write an RFC before implementing.

Mom's birthday in May — maybe a pottery class voucher. Dad wants a new travel mug. Look into custom photo book services for the anniversary.
