Zombies, Don’t Mess With Me

November 29, 2010

PSA: The Worst Photo Pose Ever

November 22, 2010

I don’t have a picture of it because I don’t like taking photos of it. There is no doubt in my mind you have seen it before – group of friends get together (usually asian) to take a photo. everyone’s smiling and being fun, and then someone whips out the peace sign before the shutter [...]

Ok, so this is attempt #4. I went back to the original recipe to get another baseline of what the basic popovers turn out like. I followed the original recipe and baked them up.

USPS: Masters of Anticipation

November 17, 2010

So I love that UPS, FedEx and USPS all over package tracking. Like most people, I like how it lets me know what day to expect things I order online – building up the anticipation for when the order arrives. Recently I made an order from Amazon that was shipped via USPS. I used the [...]

November 14, 2010

“I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!” great quotable movies aside, I am so glad people are writing about the “foodie phenomenon”. As you know from my earlier post, I very much dislike being called a foodie. Although the term is not really controversial, I think its meanings are different for different people. part of [...]

Baking: Popovers Attempt 1

November 7, 2010

My cousin made me popovers over the summer, and they were delicious. I’ve had popovers before, but I was never really impressed – probably because they were made in a restaurant and were not served piping hot right out of the oven. if not eaten straight from the oven, they tend to get soggy and [...]
