ChefSteps flourless carrot cake.

Jesus, the directions on that cake... Pressure cooked carrots...different versions/varieties of carrageenan! Oy vey!

Happy birthday, man.

Yeah, to the Blacklist and to the BCS spoiler above.

Whoa. How do they know it's only 4 or 5 fish?

12027 People who were born before Christianity came about and never had a chance to get baptized. Nope. Her church had a task they'd do, which was to look up deceased people's names in papers and address books and get them baptized without their knowledge. Just so they could be accepted. It was hor...

Bah, 4:10 starts are the worst. An hour earlier or later I would've been able to watch the game, but 4 is when I've got to get the kids home, homework finished, dinner and to their own baseball game(s) at 5:30. Missed the whole game.

Then today off? Weird.

One of the big bullet points on the Hornqvist acquisition was that he is durable. Never played fewer than 76 games in a full season. He'll play 64, baring any other injuries this week. #cursed

Yeah, I think that's pretty close to what's going on. Our salary lineup is too top heavy with Crosby, Letang, and Malkin. If any of those three get hurt or slump, the Pens are in trouble. We need more production out of entry level contract players - like Malkin and Letang on the Cup team. But with t...

Source of the post Do you have a more regional theater?

Yeah, there are theater productions in Charlotte and Charleston's Spoleto Festival is a lot of fun. But Broadway, man. Broadway!

I managed to see Rent on Broadway in the Niederlander theater back in the early 2000's. Great show, not really depressing, I found it to be uplifting in a way. Shortly after that, I saw The Producers with the second cast after the first run with Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane. The one guy from Wi...

I watched about 40 minutes of the HBO Sinatra documentary. Superb. Part one is 2 hours, and part two is tonight. Essentially, it is narrated by Sinatra (at the point) and by his first wife Nancy (who is still alive). The director took a "Farewell Concert" setlist and recast it as a biography of Sina...

Tailsy?

I believe GRRM is releasing the three stories under one cover for the first time, at some point this year. They've been scattered in other anthologies prior to this - and there have been a couple of graphic novel adaptations too.

I would really like to see a Dunk and Egg prequel series on HBO. Those are novellas, so much more concise and probably cheaper to produce.

7705 How is pitching done? I found the throbbing target area so disorienting that I could only pitch for like an inning or two before my head would hurt. The pitching is still a throbbing target thing. I don't find it irritating yet. Won my first exhibition game (only 3 innings). Pirates vs. Braves...

Aye, 'tis true.

Flash was great last night.

Mark Hamill finally got to say "I'm your FATHER!!!"

Great show. From the teaser afterwards, looks like we'll have an extended Arrow/Flash/Atom crossover/spinoff launch.

6891 Ronin Aye, Frankenheimer's scenes in that movie were great. Underrated film. Also, my first DVD purchase. Remember when Lady Di was killed in that Parisian tunnel? Robert DeNiro was questioned about paparazzi because he was in Paris filming Ronin at that time. There's also a great scene when h...

I got to play about 30 minutes of The Show last night. My kids, home on Spring Break, played off and on all day. Turds.
I did some batting practice and pitching practice, and found the controls to make more sense than I thought they would. What a beautiful game, too.

6904 So any fans of British Cop shows like Foyle's War and Midsomer Murders? Big fan of Foyle's War. I like how the show was resurrected several years after it was canceled on another network. I believe that there are new episodes either recently aired in the UK or will air soon there. It really ca...

Wow, going clear was very well done. Scary. I had no idea Naz Bonaidi (from Homeland) was ever involved with Cruise. Scary what they made her do when she was "dumped" by Cruise. Not really made her do, but she was so programmed she punished herself. And then the Sea Org people that were basically sl...

I won't go unless the rumors of Michael Anthony rejoining the band come to fruition.

Yeah, he could actually cover some of the top end that's missing from Roth's vocals. And it would be really cool.

My kids keep e-mailing me at work telling me about how great The Show is. Savages, torturing their dad like this!

Radio commercial for upcoming Van Halen show at the Hollywood Bowl; all three songs used in the bed were from '1984'. They actually have a live album(!) coming out from their last tour in 2013. I previewed a few tracks on my wife's iPhone (iTunes exclusive or some such) and it didn't sound great. Y...

Great show. I knew Chuck was up to no good.

And again, Mike is the best.

I'm distressed at home many people on a wide open interstate don't use cruise control. I know most cars have this feature now, but very few people actually use them...and I know it's not a regional thing, as I spend a lot of time on I-95 and most of the cars are from PA, NY, MD, VA, and NC heading t...
