Pending the upcoming move I haven't been cooking anything :(

Another benefit of the Big Green Egg: it weighs 162 pounds unloaded. Anyone who tried to steal mine would probably throw his back out and then sue me.

You don't recycle VHS tapes. You burden your children with them. Obviously.

As part of an interview for a recruiting position, Mrs. Snape was asked to do a live cold call right then and there. During the call, the prospect's manager hopped on the phone and yelled at Mrs. Snape, screaming, "Are you trying to steal my people?!"

Into the box she goes! Mwhahahahahahahahahaahah!!!!!!!!!

I'm pretty much a lock. Only calamity would keep me away at this point. And I'm bringing Mrs. Snape along. She's the social one; I'm the silent homunculus who creeps in the cellar.

We sold our house last Friday, pretty much hassle free and for a tidy profit. This Friday we're buying our new house. The occupant originally had a leaseback through Monday, but she cancelled it so now we get the house a weekend early!

Before I made the use of a lingering bottle of red wine the priority in tonight's meal, fried rice was the plan. Sambal and fried egg on top and everything. Eery.

I spend more time on the other TI, but yeah like I said there, myself and probably Mrs. Snape are down, depending on the sitting situation. Tuesday or Wednesday night would be fine.

Better than Lulu.

I commend Holmes for trying to do a real stand up style set every night (vs. traditional Late Night shows which do monologues full of one-liners) but the quality was hit or miss.

Yeah. I really don't distinguish the two, even if I know the technical difference. The way I see it, if it's breakfast, it's grits, if it's dinner, it's polenta.

- Pound it thin. Thinner the better.
- Panko breadcrumbs are better than the sandy stuff that comes in the cardboard canisters.
- Don't drown it in sauce. Make your sauce and place a pool on the plate, then set your completed chicken parm on top. That way you get your sauciness but the chicken stays crunchy through to…

Long-form polenta is delicious but kind of a pain. I actually think the 3-minute polenta is wonderful stuff that produces a reasonable facsimile of the real stuff lickety-split. Not to be confused with the pre-cooked "polenta in a tube" which I think is awful. Brink milk or water to a simmer with plenty of salt, drop…

So true. When Kurt unleashes those hell barks in the last moments of "Trespasses", my entire body pulses with energy.

Fun wake up read. All We Love We Leave Behind is the only thing on the iPod at present, so that'll be the morning commute.

I would love for Link's Awakening to get the A Link Between World's treatment.

I didn't realize the FFX/X-2 remaster was out. Thanks for the heads up. I actually have played it through maybe 4 times since its original release, so it's entirely possible I'll get 3-4 hours in and ask myself, "Wait, what am I doing with my life?"

You mean the white one? Yeah, that one's a beast. I've gone through 7 wireless guitars among various Guitar Hero and Rock Band models, with that white one always playing second fiddle, and it still works fine to this day.
