Chick-Fil-a
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007I got a t-shirt the other day from the local Chick-Fil-a that lets me get a free chicken sandwich or 8-piece nuggets every time I go to that store with that shirt on (Until December 31st). I'm gonna be eating me some Chick-Fil-a this year.
Ginger Altoids
Friday, January 12th, 2007Ginger Altoids are really cheap at Target right now (I think no one likes them or something, they are the only thing at the checkout stand that is on CLEARANCE!). I have a(n?) head cold right now. Ginger Altoids are great for clearing the sinuses!
Dwightation
Saturday, October 14th, 2006You know, cotton candy is not a good desert for kids who have unfettered access to their attic This made Adam Dawson say that he thought it was hillarious (not much laughter though... I don't know if I believe him, in retrospect)
Baked Ziti
Monday, August 7th, 2006I cooked some baked ziti for our after church gathering today. The directions said to cover with aluminum foil and bake for a half hour. I prepared the stuff the day before and so it had been in the refrigerator. The directions said if you do this to add 10 ...
Grape vs. Turtle, Advantage Turtle
Monday, April 10th, 2006I fed my turtle a part of a grape: (He is a little blury because he was moving around so much... and I had to take a long exposure because it is so dark in my apt.) He ate (almost) the whole thing... I'm glad I only gave him 1/4th of the ...
Me vs. Pizza
Thursday, March 16th, 2006Bread? Check... Sauce? uh... kinda Check... Cheese? I knew we forgot something...
I bought a post-modern pizza making kit
Wednesday, March 15th, 2006...from Chef Boyardee: Apparently "add your own Mozzarella" is required to get anything resembling the picture on the front To understand the directions, or to connect the instructions to the visible outcome, the chef must lay aside quaint "literal" definitions of words such as "contain," "cover," "twelve inches," and "cheese." ...if only From the ...
Fruit Juice
Thursday, March 9th, 2006Inspired by the world famous Dave Ferrell, I have 4 bottles of 3 kinds of fruit juice in my fridge. It helps that Dollar General sells gallon jugs of various juice (albeit few that don't have high fructose corn syrup) for 2 bucks a pop...
Hot Chocolate Hints
Friday, November 25th, 2005When making hot chocolate from a powder, I find it helpful to ad just a little bit of water and stir until all the powder is moist. Another thing I have begun doing recently is adding a little bit of vanilla to my hot chocolate. Yum!
In other tea news…
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005I want me one of these: A french press for your Nalgene Bottle (usually used for coffee, but works for tea too...)
Useful Tea Tips!
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005Tea is basic, and an indicator. The darker it is the more basic, the lighter the more acidic (add lemon to iced tea? it gets lighter.) I find that a good liter of tea will stand in as an alternative to pepto bismal.
Reformation Day
Monday, October 31st, 2005Happy Reformation Day! Celebrate: Read Galatians... have a beer...
Top 3
Wednesday, September 28th, 2005So, I gotta say my top 3 are... Newcastle Brown Ale Guinness Shiner Bock What do you like?
Lambic
Monday, January 3rd, 2005I had some raspberry lambic over the holidays and it was pretty good. It was what I wish wine coolers tasted like. I think my mom even tried a little and liked it.
On Making Tea…
Thursday, January 29th, 2004I don't time my tea when I make it, so I occasionally forget to quit steeping it... I have found that sometimes steeping it for a very long time will make the bitterness that appears after 3 or so minutes go away... I haven't been having much luck lately, I ...
