So, I made some macaroons, they were pretty good, but I think my next batch will nail exactly what I'm trying to recreate ( Read more... )

I actually have quite a few food related items to write about (#1 on the list: The Great Macaroon Hunt of '08), but for now, I'm keeping with the BJJ theme ( Read more... )

I'm so glad I woke my flabby ass up to go to jujitsu class today. I drank WAY too much again last night (I've done that several Friday nights in a row), and I didn't get much sleep (3.5 hours, woohoo). 0700 came way to quick, but the B vitamin and naproxen I took did their jobs, and I actually felt pretty good ( Read more... )

I got a gift certificate for cooking.com a couple years back, and I ended up getting a Cuisinart 1.5 qt ice cream maker. What a winner. It's one of the best tools in ( Read more... )

I'm back from my government imposed vacation to Qatar. Not too much to report, other than it was boring and not much happened. I did learn I don't like managing very much. I should have never taken the promotion. Oh, well, such is life. I might write more about the trip, but I'm kind of not sure I ever want to. We shall see ( Read more... )
