Steeping coffee instead of traditional brewing methods provides the end-user with a lighter looking, lighter tasting, yet fully potent mixture. It's like coffee light, but with that coffee dark kick. My preferred method? Get a single cup, fine screened, metal mesh tea strainer (plastic mesh just doesn't cut it) and coarse ground coffee. Heat the ( Read more... )

Perhaps cooking and talking on the phone at the same time wasn't such a good idea. I now have a burned finger and a slightly cooked phone. On the upside, it's a Nokia, and true to form it's still working.

I'm making pumpkin pies. Lots of them. Why, you ask? I don't know. But that's what I'm doing. So there. :)

Today I went to see the Falcons play the Buccaneers and, in the words of my rather young neighbor, the Falcons got "stompled." Don't get me wrong, I did have a good time, but personally, I would have rather stayed home and done laundry - that's how big a football fan I am. But I was invited by one of our suppliers at work, and it was a suite, and ( Read more... )

I really want to write something more important than this, and I have a lot of what I want to write about in my head, but it would take a long time, and I only have a little time this morning, so I'm going to go with the topic of breakfast ( Read more... )

I'm watching a Spanish channel, because it's the most interesting thing on at 6:52 on a Saturday. Apparently it's a music video show, and they're playing all kinds of stuff. The current video is a mostly Spanish rap video. These days I almost prefer rap to be in a language I don't understand, because the rap I do understand tends to suck ( Read more... )

I just got back from South Carolina where I was looking over a supplier's facility, meeting people, and talking about invoices and stuff. It was nice. Uneventful. Long drive. I'm tired. I'm going to go to sleep, but first, a quote from ABC News: "At the moment, Vitamin D may fight cancer." I like that quote. It makes no pretense about the fleeting ( Read more... )

Last night I woke up and there was something sitting next to me at the edge of the bed. It was the size of a rat, or at least that's what it seemed like. It started to move, and as my half-asleep brain tried to figure out what to do about it, the thing touched me and I panicked. I tried to knock it off of the bed, but it wouldn't move, and it was ( Read more... )

Wendy and I had our first ultrasound today at about 12 weeks. Our little fetus is slightly over 5cm, and bouncing all over the place - kicking, punching, pushing, dancing a jig, doing the 'moon walk', trying to run. Good heartbeat, too. :) We've got a few hard-to-make-out pictures that I'll post wherever I can. In fact, this looks like a good place ( Read more... )

A while back, I watched a Colbert Report episode where one of the Ben and Jerry's guys was on, and they said they'd made a special Colbert Report flavor called Americone Dream. I thought it was a joke. But I just saw it in the store and bought it. And it's awesome! It isn't Cherry Garcia, but it's the shizznit.
