Guy over at ChefSteps just posted a thread about his new >>> Cuisinart CS0-300 <<< countertop convection-steam combi-oven. He says he hasn't bought bread in the store since he bought the oven and shared these photos. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v500/tifosi77/WP_20150202_015.jpg http://img.phot...

1) It's an Instagram account, not Twitter (reading comprehension level: pre-skool)

2) He has only posted twenty photos to date, so perhaps I was a skosh hasty with the 'best thing in the world' bit.

"Watching"

John Bolton.............

Chef Jacques Lemerde is genuinely funny.

For some reason, I have chosen to end my week by starting my review of a 61-page, 27,433-word license agreement. This is the IP paralegal equivalent of an own goal.

I can't wait till my wife moves here and I don't have to do laundry anymore.

I messed it up once about a decade ago when we were dating, and now I don't have to do it anymore.

We are dumb, but we are not so dumb. It takes great courage and work to keep from working.

I've had individual dishes that were more than 1,800 calories.

Twin Ion Engine

That's a good idea with the cinder blocks. I bought four of those wooden bed kits last summer, and I already don't like them.

Arizona Tea Party senator: Church service should be mandatory to push ‘moral rebirth’ Arizona state Sen. Sylvia Allen (R) derailed a discussion on gun legislation by expressing her support for mandatory church attendance nationwide, KPHO-TV reported. “Probably we should be debating a bill requiring...

Starting to plant one of my raised bed gardens today...

What kind of potatoes are those? I want to recycle my car tires when I get new rubber by stacking them in the garden and planting potatoes.

If someone finds Karsh..........

Contrast that with the story my one friend has. His sister worked at Paramount, and he went to meet her for lunch one day. She was a little late, so he went and sat on a bench outside her building to enjoy the afternoon sun. Guy came up and said, "Mind if I join you?" Francis Ford Coppola. They talk...

Neil Strauss wrote a bit about meeting/interviewing Tom Cruise in his book The Game. Just about how he had ego and charisma to the nth degree. He got that from time spent around fighter pilots making that stupid navy movie. I've actually heard from friends who work on the lot at Paramount that when...

How to Go to Congress and Become a Millionaire

Just found that story after talking about becoming rich while in Congress. Talks about some of the details I mentioned (more accurately).

Wait, rice is non-paleo?

I don't necessarily see a problem in rich people in the Congress. Where I worry is when people become rich for having been in Congress. I know this is going to come across as naive, but does that happen? Depends on how you take my meaning. Most Congressmen arrive in Washington already pretty well o...

I straight up quit working out about two months ago. Absolutely lost 100% of the motivation to kick my own butt. I'm feeling it lately, and I don't know what I need to do to find the desire to be healthy.

Seriously, it's like I turned off a switch or something.

I met him very briefly at the Long Beach Grand Prix in 2005 (?). Shook his hand. When we released the grip, he ran his finger along my palm.

If anything, I hope it gets the IRS to revisit the whole tax exempt thing.

I am really looking forward to 'Going Clear'. Looks amazing/creepy.

Just watched the M:I5 trailer.... looks really good.

Apparently the stunt where he's hanging on to the side of the plane was real. No CG.

A touchdown should be worth 7-points. You get an extra point if you successfully convert, er, a conversion attempt. If you fail, the TD is worth 6 points. The PAT is stupid.
