For tonight's dinner...
marreka:
For appetizer, we had roasted red pepper and bocconcini bruschetta and antipasto with three different cured meats and provolone cheese.
We then had a pizza with olives, peppers, mushrooms (and other toppings, I forgot what they were).
Finally, to finish it off, coffee with tiramisu.
Who says KW is a total food wasteland?
Did you make this or go somewhere?
I'm reading a section about sleep for Psych,
and I’m yawning every ten seconds.

Gaston-Albert-Célestin Lenôtre, king of patissiers, died on January 8th, aged 88 This is a beautiful obituary.
I love France, where it’s ok - celebrated even - to be an epicurean.
Om nom nom nom.

What do people do for kind of dates that doesn’t cost money and isn’t watching a movie? I’m tired of going out for dinner and, no, I can’t skate.
Sames. I never have any money and watching movies is semi-lame. And I can’t do anything sporty because my knee is still mostly broken.

Sometimes I actually get upset when people tell me they like Pepsi more than Coke. I’m not sure why but it actually makes me kind of angry. I like both sodas, I just sort of want to punch people in the face when they say Pepsi’s better.
Agreed. Mostly because Pepsi is the worst.
Coke is liquid awesome. That is all.
Is it strange that the airplane in the Hudson...

because I’m fine with it
I figure that because there’s been an accident, the airlines are going to be more safety conscious. There’s probably no safer time to fly.

Very important question, internets:
If you were making a presentation for high school girls, convincing them that engineering is the best, what would you title the first slide?
(katoleary I still feel tricked into thinking you were an engineer, so you owe me a good answer)
How about:
“Be All That You Can Be”
(It’s like the army, but with better instructors.)

Dear internet entrepreneurs,
You’re looking for a good idea? Okay. A hair website. I can enter all sorts of parameters (like how curly my hair is, how long I want it to be, bangs or not, etc) and then click search and you give me all sorts of pictures of pretty hair cuts.
Everybody in the world would use it. Put a single google ad on the sidebar and you’ll be a millionare in weeks.
