A Tasty Treat

…So last night, I was driving Britton back from Stonybrook, Long Island. It’s about a 2hr drive, so not bad, except that we got caught on the turnpike in some really bad weather during the snowstorm.

So getting back home, Britton proceeded to make me a tasty treat that I now want to share with you:

1. Take those easy bake croissant rolls..you know the ones…those that look like little triangles (don’t think they’re actually croissants, but they’re very buttery!)

1. Roll the dough out flat on a tray
2. In the center of each roll, place a handful of chocolate chips
3. Roll each pastry into a self contained unit
4. Bake until the bread is cooked and the chips have become a warm chocolate liquid center
5. Eat no fewer than 2

Incidentally, that night also led to another great consumption moment. Britton had been talking about some vodka she had and poured me a drink containing cranberry juice and, I assumed, vodka. Except that about ¾ of the way through I wasn’t sure. This led to the following exchange:

Me: So….ummmm….is there any….uhhhhh….alcohol in this?

Britton (looking a little concerned): Ummm….Yes. I filled half the glass with vodka

Me (visibly relieved): Oh, whew! It just tasted like juice to me!

Britton: So pure booze tastes like juice to you?

2007 Pillow Fight

Personally, I'm glad there are people in the world willing to hold large scale pillow fights for world peace and the betterment of the poor. Or just for the sake of holding a whacking hundreds of people with a giant pillow.

This makes us look real mature

If we're going to waste taxpayer money insulting our southerly neighbor, at least we could do it on our own soil.

Holy freaking crap

So, you buy a farm. As you're settling in, you cut the padlock off the barn out back and take a look around. What do you find?

Giuliani to Run For President Of 9/11

"If elected, Giuliani would inherit the duties of current 9/11 President George W. Bush, including making grim facial expressions, seeing the world's conflicts in terms of good and evil, and carrying a bullhorn at all state functions."

Jon Lech Johansen on Apple & DRM

I'm posting this a little late, but it's still very interesting. DVD Jon's last couple of blog posts about Mr Jobs' comments on DRM make Apple look pretty bad.

I love giant squids

And this one is no exception

Short Clip from a Great Show

I don't know if any of you have ever seen or heard People Like Us, the late BBC radio / tv show, but if this clip doesn't convince you to seek out more, I don't know what will. It's from the episode entitled "The Pilot" (here's a clip from the actual pilot, "The Farmer", which explains the premise of the show - in case you were wondering).

Hmm... maybe it worked after all

I mean he did get a plug on The Ellen Show.

and another plug on "The DL". (whatever the crap that is.)

Maybe I should take this approach with my own business!
