Fieri's providing those "matching funds" in donkey sauce.

Finally got to see Grand Budapest Hotel on Thursday - thoroughly enjoyable throughout (but I do so enjoy the Anderson aesthetic).

We had really good luck with buying ladybugs this year. Yesterday I was checking out the garden and there are a ton of ladybugs and larvae hanging out in our rose bushes. Hurray, bad bug eaters!

Yeah, that seemed like a dumb move, even if they got a time penalty for falling (and I'm pretty sure they don't).

Fun fact: whether you mean the "meat" in their tacos or the giant fart that happens after you eat it, the smell is in all likelihood the same.

Fugazi - "Floating Boy (demo)"
Gravediggaz - "2 Cups of Blood"
N.W.A. - "Parental Discretion Iz Advised"
Cannibal Ox - "Stress Rap"
KMFDM - "Terror"

That's weird. Our smoothies are usually berries, yogurt, and almond milk, with a banana and/or peaches (the ones we picked and jarred last summer) optional. Our gelatinous mess had banana in it, so my guess is it was the yogurt.

Sublime - "Badfish"
George Carlin - "Feminist Blow Job" (skipped)
Lard - "I Am Your Clock"
Brak - "Cranberry Blues"
Nirvana - "Been a Son (live)"
Sandpeople - "Forget"

This week we learned that if you add ricotta cheese to a berry smoothie, blend it up and refrigerate it overnight, it becomes a gelatinous cylinder roughly the texture of poorly prepared cranberry sauce. We won't be doing that again.

Is anyone still watching The Boondocks out of spite? I want to stick it out until the end, but holy hell has this McGruder-less season been a pile. (A Stinkmeaner clone? Really?)

This is roughly where I started yelling at the television about how stupid a character could possibly be, 7 seasons into this hot mess of a show, to walk home alone at night mid-Hep-V-vamp-attack (which magically ended because someone whistled?) AND throw her phone away to boot.

Looks like Burn Hollywood Burn: The Movie.

I thought this same thing after I ate a full pint of fresh cherries this weekend.
DON'T EVER DO THAT.

I don't remember there being any actual invitations, now that I think about it. It was definitely not kept secret that the meals would essentially be potluck and provided by the guests. I think they were thinking of the meals as more of part of a camping experience and less as part of their wedding.

The walls of our raised beds are basically two 2 x 10s stacked on top of each other, so the root veg stuff has a good foot and a half of soil to work with…and yet we have never successfully grown carrots that people could actually eat. Radishes seem to love it though.

A few years ago one of Djshe's friends (who is Jewish) married a guy she met while working abroad (who is German). I'd never heard the Holocaust come up as a part of a wedding ceremony before…but the pastor made that the topic of his opening remarks.

In the backyard and our main community garden bed, everything's going strong. Carrots are actually starting to come up, but I remain skeptical that we'll get much (although Djshe found an interesting recipe for carrot green pesto, so we'll probably try that out at least). Pole beans are going absolutely nuts climbing…

I was a fan of the show as a kid, but had no idea the movie existed until it came on late night cable at 2am at the tail end of a college party…which was pretty perfect. "Monkees iz the craaaaziest people!"

Much better than an owner of a broken fart.
