Well, that jerk pork was too jerky. Still, terribly tender, so I know for next time what worked and what didn't.

Mmm. Pork.

Mmm. Jerk.

And lo! TiVo thinks I need to watch After The Thin Man. Then I'll finish my work.

Mmmmm....Nick and Nora....

There's more than a few in that area, since it's the paper district.

Yeah, but that one place has more general crafts stuff than the other places, I've found.

Oh, but the real reason I even came to post was that I'm all bummed that the person I wanted to win the Food Network host show got kicked off! Bah.

Heh. Beth that's the same logic behind transit around the Bay Area. "Hmmm, ridership is down ergo we should raise prices." Which they are surprised to find drives ridership down further. "No one could have anticipated this!"

Unfortunatley we're in a crunch here since gas prices (thanks to evil collusion) are at their highest in Northern California and they also want to raise bridge tolls to finance the new bridge. You're pretty well fucked for choices.

Thanks guys, I'll check around next time I'm down there.

Was anyone else watching The Next Food Network Star?

Amtrak has been doing this for years. It's insane -- if it's faster and cheaper to fly from NYC to DC, no wonder people aren't taking the train!

I was! By the end, I wanted Hans to win. Ah well. And now I'm watching this show about the cake maker, and the opening monolog thing was completely nonsensical. I couldn't figure out the timeline AT ALL. Did it used to be an hour show that got edited down? That was the only thing I could think of.

I was rooting for Hans too, but I was happy to see D&S get it instead. Mainly, I was just happy that Deborah didn't win. How can you not know how long to cook a pork chop? And what the hell is up with putting a SECRET spice blend into a television recipe? So annoying. I do wonder what "stars" she cooks for.

Yum. Inspired by something Robin posted a while back, I bought whipped cream and angel food cake (I couldn't find short cakes) to go with the berries (a basket each of raspberries, blackberries and strawberries) I bought at the Farmer's Market this morning.

So very good. I am tempted to go have some more fruit and whipped cream.

That sounds yummy, Perkins. We just had steak and I'm eating a little bit of triple chocolate mousse cake. But now I'm craving pound cake and whipped cream and berries. topped with fudge sauce.

I thought about fudge sauce, but I decided to be "good".
