I think I had forgotten how much fun learning new things is, and studying. That's no surprise, though. Until tonight I had forgotten how much fun drinking wine is, and I did that in excess (i.e. the right quantities) last Tuesday! | | Sunday, December 20th, 2009 | | 7:20 pm |
Facebook is being way dumb and not letting me update or even view a lot of things, so I'll post this here instead for now. Haha. It's funny when you're having two simultaneous text message conversations, one about rescheduling seeing strippers and the other about rescheduling making lefse. And then you send one of the strippers ones to the other person. | | Wednesday, December 16th, 2009 | | 5:32 pm |
Where have all the flours gone?
Whoa, hello Livejournal. It sure has been awhile since I used you for anything other than facebook-esque drunken injokes. I think it's because I feel like I do less things that might be interesting to an audience of friends and acquaintances, as well as a weird unwillingness to actually share the ultra personal details of my life that might actually interest people. So I will go back to the classic standby of reviewing stuff I like. So, baking. If there is one thing on earth that everyone loves, it's baked goods. I recently tried out two craaaaazy sounding recipes, neither of which contain any flour. First I made peanut butter cookies. The easiest peanut butter cookies ever. Mix together... 1 Cup peanut butter (I used unsweetened ordinary bulk peanut butter. I'm curious how it would work with a sweeter, cheaper variety) 1 Cup sugar 1 Egg Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Makes 12-15 cookies. That's it. I was skeptical, but it was so easy I'd have been stupid not to try it and anyone on the internet who has made them swears by them. I am now one of those people on the internet. They will seem squishy and not done when you take them out of the oven, that's okay. They'll harden up. They make a slightly crumbly, slightly chewy, very peanut buttery, airy and delicious cookie and no one will ever know how simple they are. You can even mix them with a fork, none of that modern electricity required. The other "defloured" recipe I made would take up too much space if I typed it out, and can be found here. I ate some of these when I was in Sweden and finally found a recipe. It turned out not quite like I remember, but still good. I remember it being more cakey and this was definitely more custardy. However, if you like custard and saffron it is amazing. And not as much work as it looks like, either. I made double rice porridge a couple days in advance, ate that for breakfast for a few days, and then tackled the "pancake". I wish the recipe was a little more specific about how large the pan should be. Out of this recipe I filled 1 cake pan very full, 1 cake pan very shallow, and some mini muffins. Also, I wish my oven had numbers for temperature. However, all of them turned out tasty in various states of solidity, with the most "done" ones being the best. Make sure to serve with some very yummy jam. | | Friday, December 4th, 2009 | | 6:05 pm |
I want to make more "Guys, you have no idea" posts. And also maybe posts about my real life. But I'm going over to Elliott's soon to watch Lost and I'm really worried the truffle insides I whipped up earlier today won't have chilled enough to bring and share. Guys, you have no idea. | | Saturday, October 31st, 2009 | | 10:09 pm |
One woman commedia dell'arte, bitches. | | Friday, October 16th, 2009 | | 2:27 pm |
Shut up woman, get on my horse. | | Monday, October 12th, 2009 | | 5:38 pm |
I spent about an hour today eating lunch out and brainstorming, and about an hour and a half writing. What the hell did I do with the rest of my day? | | Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009 | | 3:38 am |
Ever since I learned the world "milt" over the summer, it has been relevantly popping up WAY too often in my life. | | Friday, August 28th, 2009 | | 8:53 pm |
I really like it when people stop me to ask me for directions. It makes me feel good that I can help someone out with something that is easy/free to give, and to boot it is information that I am proud to know. Also, one thing I think essential to life is at least one good internet friend who will play scrabble with me. Woo! | | Tuesday, August 25th, 2009 | | 2:43 am |
Seriously doods (doods, of course as I should make clear once and for all, being gender neutral). Lots of you get home just as fast and just as drunk as I do on Mondays. Why aren't you on the internet to chat me up when I'm drunk and bored? | | 2:42 am |

Baking woes
I went nuts yesterday and made a glut of mini muffins and now I am totally at a loss for what to do with these muffins. I have carrot muffins, chocolate muffins, blueberry lemon muffins, raspberry sour cream muffins, banana muffins, and raisin muffins. Hopefully they will get eaten at a birthday party I am going to tonight OR I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL DO. Also, I made an angel food cake for my mom's birthday and I whipped up the eggs in a not very big bowl and the fluffly mixture threatened to take over the kitchen, glorping and schnorfing up everything it it's path. I probably saved the world from a giant meringue monster by moving part of it to a different bowl. Guys, you have no idea... | | Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009 | | 3:07 pm |
I put the tiniest possible amount of cloves in my pudding, like at most three grains of clove (and by pudding I mean tapioca and coconut milk) and it still tastes like one big fat clove. Screw this. I'm going to the store. But first the ordeal of finding my pants. Guys, you have no idea. | | Friday, July 10th, 2009 | | 11:47 pm |
So, as the time to choose a Lexicon setting draws near, I realize that I don't really like this part of the game. I mean, I guess in a game for people who like writing then to write something is no big chore or waste of time, but it's sad that so many Proposed Settings get thrown out without any kind of thought. In the future I would probably buck tradition and try to come up with some way for all the players to also collaborate on the setting, with still keeping the ideas cohesive, and following a consistent tone. But ah well, this time it's still going to be randomly selected. | | Thursday, July 9th, 2009 | | 5:44 pm |
Haha. Some dude on a bike just rode past my building, looked at it, and quietly sneered "...sleazebag apartments..." to himself. Screw you, sir! My building is beautiful! www.historicbrownstones.com if you don't believe me. | | Wednesday, July 8th, 2009 | | 10:58 pm |
Damn you, Kenneth Hite, for stealing some of my ideas!!! By which I mean, it's that time again. Summer Lexicon time! I already sent out an email to people I was confident would be interested (that is to say, people who proactively told me ahead of time that they were interested) but more people can play too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicon_(game) There is a pretty good bare bones explanation of what the game of Lexicon is all about. If it looks interesting, feel free to email me and I can tell you more about the game that I set up that is starting soon. By soon I mean it would probably be best if you got back to me by Monday. Oh yeah, I guess I can stick this here too, since looking at a game is probably the best way to actually understand it. The dead links kind of clutter it up, but here is a finished game. http://lexicon.sacredchao.net/archives/June_2007/So you can kind of get an idea of what it means to create a proposed setting, or a character, or write the entries that are the actual meat of the game. | | Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009 | | 10:45 pm |
I used the unreasonably hot weather to impulsively throw out a bunch of my winter clothes. On the bright side, all my clothes now fit in my dresser and closet. On the other bright side, I have several months for my lack-of-warm-clothes situation to sort itself out. Now, time for photos! ( Just a typical Saturday night... ) | | Friday, June 12th, 2009 | | 11:08 pm |
I am ready for LARP tomorrow, and relieved. Also, Stuart is relieving himself. | | Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 | | 5:38 am |
So much for sleeping ever again, amirite? ...shit. I left something important in someone's car. | | Tuesday, May 26th, 2009 | | 1:47 pm |
Hey all you assholes, I was up until 7 a.m. picking pennies out of my bed and off the bottoms of my feet and stuff. Just so you know :P |
