Okay, this is random, but I need to post it where people will get the reference:
We just got back from seeing a local band at a bar. This is a band that's been around for literally 30 years, so the audience's *average* age was 50-ish (as is the band). And they were dancing their asses off, having a great time.
After a few songs, Tim said to me, "Oh my god, you know what this reminds me of? Band Candy!"
Me: "I don't like this -- they could have heart attacks!"
(I forgot "There are some foxy ladies here tonight!")
Kiss rocks? Why would anyone want to kiss...
Hey, did you see Ms. Barton? I think she's wasted.
A can of coconut milk plus a can of green curry paste and a pork butt in the slow cooker makes a pretty amazing 5-minute green curry. (5 minutes active cook time that it. Waiting time is about 8 hours.)
If you have an ice cream maker, I think you can also use coconut milk to make vegan ice cream.
We lost the bout last night in Appleton. I got goated by three tough girls and got banged around a bit but had a blast.

Oh man, I was just planning this week's menus, and I think this is going on it.
Have you tried putting any potatoes or veggies in with it too?
So, I have a 6am flight on Thursday (VEGAS!!!), and I'm trying to decide if I can make it to the plane without having coffee, because that would make it more likely that I could then sleep. Hmmm.
Jesse, if you completely pack the night before -- do all the brain work in advance -- it should be possible. Knowing you can nap later may be a good motivator?
Oh, it's the getting to the airport and dealing with the checkin and whatnot that I'm concerned about. I think it will be OK if I eat something.
For fans of Iron Man, Glee, engineering and good news...
Austin Whitney walked on Saturday. No faith healers were involved.
Yet when the paralyzed 22-year-old rose from his wheelchair and stepped across the UC Berkeley commencement stage to shake Chancellor Robert Birgeneau's hand, the crowd of 15,000 at Edwards Stadium went wild with cheers, as if witnessing a miracle.
In a way, they were.
"Ask anybody in a wheelchair; ask what it would mean to once again stand and shake someone's hand while facing them at eye level," Whitney said in anticipation of his momentous day. "It will be surreal, like a dream."
Or like putting on the Iron Man suit and acquiring super powers. A team of UC Berkeley mechanical engineers - four doctoral students led by Professor Homayoon Kazerooni - have been developing a computerized body brace called an exoskeleton they believe will be good enough to transform thousands of wheelchair users into walking people in a couple of years, and for an affordable price.
Also it must be noted that "Professor Homayoon Kazerooni" is a totally cool name!
