I could learn South Indian dancing. They actually have classes for that here, which is totally ridiculous. I can't even find decent Indian food here. Then again, Indian dancing is pretty ridiculous in its own right. I'm a fan. -
I should totally add this to my christmas list.
I'm sure at least some of you have heard about the Genographic Project. It is super cool. The thing that is jacked up with it is that they change you $100 to take part in the research. What?

Peanut butter and cornmeal cookies.
Last night I wanted some sort of baked good. I decided on peanut butter cookies. Things didn't go quite according to plan. First I discovered we only has smooth peanut putter, which is odd, because Judah, the peanut butter eater in the household, is an extra-chunky sort of guy. I wanted peanut chunks in my cookies. I then remembered I has a ( Read more... )
