So, I Made Bread

  • Posted on February 28, 2011 at 7:25 pm

I love to cook, and when I got a couple days off for my birthday, I knew what I wanted to try. Also, there was supposed to be this huge snowstorm, so if I was going to be housebound for a few days, I may as well get to cook. So, I made bread.

I’ve been a subscriber to Mother Earth News for a couple years, and a while back, they featured and article about artisan bread that could be made quickly. It was sprinkled with a promotion for the book, “Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day” and was all about this recipe that allowed average busy people to make fantastic, artisan bread. I was curious, but I never got around to picking up the book, until a few weeks ago.

Why I Became A Truck Driver

  • Posted on February 18, 2011 at 11:04 pm

When I was a kid, I told my grandparents I wanted to be a truck driver when I grew up. They told me I didn’t want to do that. Then I said I wanted to be a teacher. They’re both retired teachers, and told me I didn’t want to do that either.

Guess what I’d kind of like to do when I grow up and stop driving?

New Theme

  • Posted on February 17, 2011 at 3:48 pm

I decided to upload a new theme. This one is called Purple Pastels. I’ve seen a lot of wordpress posts about how you shouldn’t constantly switch themes when you’re bored, the key is more content. In my case, it was more practical. The last theme I used I liked, but it had a link at the bottom for “platinum engagement rings” and I didn’t like it there. It was encrypted too, so I couldn’t get it out.

So, a new theme, no annoying things in the footer, and all is well.

Oh, Jailbait…

  • Posted on February 3, 2011 at 6:56 pm

So, I was showing Pet some truly awful Twilight tattoos. And, one of the ads was for a ‘co-written’ personalized novel involving vampires. So I bit the bullet and visited the site. It’s one of those semi-personalized books, you enter in your name and some stats, and you hero’s name and stats, and then they’ll print a book (starting at $40) and send it to you, so you can daydream about your fantasy guy.

If you can’t think of a hero’s name for the preview, they suggest a few. Robert Redford, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, and Hugh Jackman I could understand. Then I got to a book called “Magic Bound” in the adult romance section. This is what it gave me as suggestion:

Starbucks Trenta

  • Posted on February 2, 2011 at 7:40 pm

So Starbucks is unveiling the Trenta, a 31 ounce drink. And shortly after that, someone posted an image about the Trenta having the same capacity as an average human stomach. And everyone seems to be weighing in on the issue. So, I guess it’s my turn.

I don’t see what the big deal is in Starbucks making a larger sized drink. Maybe it’s because I’m stuck eating so much fast food, but it seems to me like they’re behind in super sizing things. Maybe it’s because coffee drinks are high in calories, and so a trenta size Starbucks frappucino is going to be around 650-700 calories. Maybe it’s because people have a lot/hate relationship with Starbucks. I don’t know.
