Man I would kill for a huge hunk of blue cheese, a baguette, and some wildflower honey right now.

That does sound pretty amazing. Blue cheese was one of those foods for me that I always, always hated until I finally tried some gourmet as gently caress blue cheese and what I was supposed to appreciate finally clicked for me.

They have clearly misunderstood basic human right policies, and have begun to consider brown people a menace to society, furthermore they no longer are able to invest in, or welcome diversity, and this not in a droll manner.

That blows, I am super sorry about your lovely friends. You should probably unfriend sooner rather than later, however is more comfortable to you. The longer you stay friends with them the longer they can justify that their lovely opinions are actually okay. Maybe if you get really lucky, unfriending will cause them to undergo some personal reflection and then you can be friends again! :)

With regards to the dangling stuff, it leaves me limp.

Edit: I may mean limb, but I cannot hear the difference between the two!

Does it help to know that the last consonant of each is the same lip movement, but one is voiced and one is not? "Limp" ends with the sound of the lips moving apart, "limb" ends with that sound plus your actual voice. If I had bothered to actually learn IPA I could probably explain this better.

Actually "limb" ends with the bilabial nasal. The "b" is silent just as it is in "lamb." "Limp" ends with an aspirated voiceless bilabial plosive.

See, if I had bothered to learn IPA I'd be able to explain it better, or in this case, correctly :)

Collard green dolmathes were ludicriously delicious. I'm never buying grape leaves again.

The poutines I've had were all okay, but I wouldn't go out of my way for them. Haven Gastropub in Orange has a duck poutine I keep meaning to try, but with Bruxie (a waffle sandwich food stand) an equal distance from Bruery Provisions it's hard to justify interrupting my drinking to sit down in a restaurant.

I think he was trying to say that for noobs you shouldn't go for your hardest recipes with company. It's probably a sound strategy although I think my version would be more "Don't cook anything you haven't cooked at least 3 times before, or at least make that part non-essential to an enjoyable evening." Edit: sloooooowww

You could do one for salt, the sinister-sounding sodium chloride. " At higher dosages, this is used as an emetic. Take too much, and your renal function could shut down and you die. We asked every food manufacturer why they include this deadly product in their foods. The company line: consumers prefer it and it tastes better. Well, we dug a little deeper..."

This reminds me of when I was a kid and I learned that the iron in say, cereal, was actual literal iron the metal. And I was like oh poo poo, isn't eating metal bad? I wonder if the same people who freak out about chemical names would also freak out if the saw a list of the minerals our body uses. Or the chemical names of all the vitamins!

I bet it's less about "that's confusing" and more "that's marketable." Pork butt is not as fancy sounding as Boston roast. The pork chop names in particular I'm betting will be accompanied by higher prices. I also like the labeling changes though, I can never remember cuts past tenderloin and ribs and poo poo like that.

Aww, I think it's cute. It would be a cute birthday cake for someone who got skinny and healthy and wanted to celebrate it. Serve with ice cream though.

It's way better than the poo poo my cousin keeps sharing on Facebook. See:

quote:

Ingredients
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup butter, slightly softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar
3 Tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ½ cups rolled oats, old fashioned or quick (see Note)
2/3 cup plain M&Ms (give or take)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions

With a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, and peanut butter until smooth.
Add in the powdered sugar, brown sugar, flour, and vanilla.
Using the paddle attachment on your stand mixer or just a wooden spoon, mix in the oats. You may want to use more or less here. I really like the oats in it and a thicker dip so I added a lot. Remember that the dip will also firm up a bit in the fridge.
Add the M&Ms and chocolate chips.
Store in the refrigerator until serving. Serve with pretzels, graham crackers, or apple slices. You can dip or spread this depending on how thick you made your dip. Try not to eat it all like I did!
Note: You can use more or less oats to adjust the thickness of your dip. Start with about 1 1/2 cups oats and keep adding until you reach your desired thickness. If you use quick oats you might use less since it's finer and will make the dough thicker.

Imgur won't upload the picture for me (a sign of its intelligence clearly) so you'll just have to imagine it.

It's in many many English words but the simplest example is the vowel sound in "the." It's the only bit of IPA I ever actually learned because in a two hour college choir rehearsal, approximately 1.5 hours will be spent getting everyone to schwa in the exact same way.

And yeah, congratulations dude. If you end up hanging around Waikiki a lot, try to park somewhere like Ala Moana mall and take the little trollies around or walk. Driving is awful near any of the big touristy areas on Oahu.
Thanks! I'll be sure to do all that too. I've never been to Hawaii, but Hawkboy has and he likes driving way more than me anyhow, so I'm going to let him suffer through tourist congestion. I've basically let him schedule the entire itinerary (another thing he really enjoys that I don't really like) so hopefully he kept that in mind while planning.

This is a crap week for everyone I guess. My fiance got laid off, and we're just over 2 weeks to the wedding. He got laid off on Tuesday though and already has two interviews scheduled, so it looks like we'll be just fine, but still, what a pain in the rear end!

And I went to the dentist this morning for a checkup, got told that I'm taking very good care of my teeth, but one of my teeth has been mildly sensitive ever since getting a filling in it, and that means I might possibly get to have a root canal. :( But I get to delay it after the honeymoon at least.

edit: On the bright side I made cucumber salad a la Din Tai Fung (which at least on the west coast is a mildly famous Taiwanese dumpling house), and it was delicious. I'm pretty drat sure they make theirs with roasted garlic, mild peppers, chili sesame oil, and rice vinegar, but I can make a pretty close approximation with sambal oelek, sesame oil, and a little sugar. I usually don't bother to roast garlic for it but I did tonight and it was worth it.

The power went out here. Some dude ran his truck straight into the power line last night. They have been spending all day trying to get a new one up. I spent like 6 hours at Starbucks today recharging devices and using the wifi. Ate a Camembert sandwich that consisted of sourdough bread and a whole shitload of Camembert. Everything else I have in the fridge can either tolerate some time at room temp or is already hosed. I'm moving in a week so I might just use this as an excuse to throw everything away anyhow.
