Is hipster a term people use to self-identify?

Only ironically.

We are baby sitting the dojo baby. He is close to 18 months old. It is fun having a toddler in the house (and knowing he will be going home in just over an hour). CJ has been helping out. It is so sweet.

I just made the most bomb pasta with the least effort ever. Orzo + spinach + feta. It was so creamy and good!

has anyone posted this yet? Whole foods offers cheaper food to people with lower BMIs.

Oh, my god, Kat. That pisses me off so much that I'm going to smoke a cigarette right now and follow it up with some vodka. If I hadn't eaten already, I'd also go for a bacon cheeseburger with some chili cheese fries.

And I don't even like hamburgers.

Hipsters buy or rent lofts and condos. They don't live in garrets or squats, because hipsters are fundamentally a shallow, surface driven set with huge expenses. They only try to look like they live in squats. Only cleaner. And with more product.

I made chili again! I used different beans (Safeway Premium Chili Beans and Trader Joe's Cuban Style Black Beans [the same amount rather than half: I don't know where you find all these 8 oz. cans, Steph, but that's not how we roll out here]) and diced tomatoes (TJ's Fire Roasted Tomatoes with Green Chilies) this time. Plus I added a little freshly diced tomato as well. I think this may be the fun part of chili that keeps it from becoming boring if I make it a lot. Although I'm not sure I noticed a discernible taste difference.

My pot is pretty ginormous. I question how big my neighbor's pot really was. Maybe my 3-qt pot really will be sufficient until I double or triple the recipe to make a giant vat for people.

You know, I was assuming that they're 8 oz. Let me go check the pantry...

Huh. Okay, no. What I was thinking of as "8 oz." is really 14.5 oz. or 15.5 oz.

So, uh, for every place in my recipe that I said 8-oz. can, change that to 14.5 or 15.5 oz. D'oh.

Ha ha ha ha!!! No wonder you thought it made enough for four people easily.

In any case, halving your real recipe and using your fake recipe works out well for a single guy. Plus I used twice as much black beans as I was supposed to and it still turned out okay. Mostly it's about throwing lots of cans of stuff into a pot.

Ha ha ha ha!!! No wonder you thought it made enough for four people easily.

It does! I just got the measurements wrong. It's still 2 cans chili beans, 1 can kidney beans, 2 cans tomatoes, etc. -- just not 8-oz cans!

ION, why am I still up? (Clown will eat me.)
