It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

ooh, i loooove that design seeds sight! The 'color pick' pallette totally defends the purple i painted the inside of my front door yesterday in a whim. I think it's marvelous, but i do need a better trim color because stark white btwn that leaf green and grapey purple is just...not the best thing ever.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

OMG, if those bread things are like the cheesy bread balls at the Brazilian carnivore heaven restaurant, where they bring you skewers of meat, I'm not sure if I'm thrilled or horrified that I've found a recipe.

Are they kind of chewy, due to all the cheese in them? If so, they're probably the same ones (or a close approximation).

Yes. Yes, they are. (wipes off drool)

Darn you, Ms. Teppy, for giving me a source of carby, cheesy goodness.

Honestly, in terms of carb-y-ness, they probably have a lower glycemic index than a regular yeasty wheat bread roll. The recipe for these is literally close to half cheese (it's 1 1/4 cup tapioca flour and 1 cup cheese). So comparatively, they're not the pure, un-cut carb rush that you get from a yeasty dinner roll.

Also, anyone who tries to make them -- tapioca flour will sometimes be labeled "tapioca STARCH" (and sometimes, to be really confusing, "tapioca starch flour"). It's all the same thing, no matter what it's called.

This is NOT true with other flours, like potato -- potato FLOUR and potato STARCH are very different. But tapioca, for whatever freaky reason, has several names for the same damn thing.

True, unless you're like me who would have no problem making a double batch and crouching over them like a starving wolf with the last haunch of meat in the forest.

edit: Yes, I have cheese-and-starch issues--ah, my beloved cheddar cheese/garlic mashed potatos. Some people risk their health for whiskey and smokes, I have to resist the siren song of the spud.

Maybe make half a batch at a time? (I say half because a whole batch uses 2 eggs, so half a batch would be 1 egg, and I can't fathom subdividing below 1 egg.) Half a batch makes 6 rolls that are between golf-ball and plum in size.

So I need to business cards as well. I actually have something of a budget, but not all that much.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

As one who's never met a carbohydrate she didn't love, those cheese rolls sound yummy.

We have an Argentinian carnivore's delight in town - Fogo de Chao (can't do the tilde over the "a", but you get the idea). I didn't realize they'd opened ... I thought all the guys wandering around in their waiter's outfits were some kind of karmic retribution for my maligning gaucho pants on the board.

Ran into this entry for the Bulwar-Lytton contest:

Sunburned and lost, Jake tightened the noose around Randy’s diaper-white neck and growled, “Any last words, varmint?” to which Randy replied, “Don’t be afraid to go out on a limb, Jake--that’s where all the fruit is!” which marked the first and last time Jake and the boys hired a life coach to lead one of their cattle drives.

I've been loyal to Vistaprint because the routinely run crazy cheap sales, plus, their interactive design tool is pretty easy to use.

I've never used zazzle, so I have no actual comparison.
