See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Happy birthday, Allyson! To commemorate, I've been smiting Trayvon Martin related assholery elsewhere. If I could actually smite them, and thus present you with a marginally better world (or at least one in which assholes felt it prudent to keep their pieholes shut), I would.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So it turns out I don't know how to poach eggs, but I'll get there. Otherwise, the kale/choriso thing was delicious, although I used three pans, which is a little much for a quick dinner...

Oooh, sounds good. I'm still mourning my lost chorizo, but I have some "braising mix" from the produce store (looks like mostly chard and kale), and some spicy TJs sausage from the freezer.

That is, if I don't end up driving down to Fremont to see a friend who is apparently in the Bay Area on travel this week...

So it turns out I don't know how to poach eggs, but I'll get there.

I use a small pan, add a teaspoon of white vinegar to the water, swirl the water and drop the egg in. You have to drop the egg from a little shallow dish of some kind - you can't crack it directly into the little whirlpool of water.

I did that, but I didn't cook it long enough, so I threw the whole thing in the microwave for a little bit to finish cooking the white.

Timing is key! I always play a song on iTunes that's in the range of 2:44. I remove the egg when the song is over.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm fucking miserable. Trying to decide between a flight home or crashing at a friend's place. Please remind me of this the next time I talk about going home.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That kale, chorizo, and poached egg dish looks delicious. I have an egg poacher that cooks them in the microwave, so I am a total cheater.
