Two things

A) Go Mets!

B) Had Uday and his LF over for dinner last night. Cynra roasted a turkey and made some rice and veggies to go with it. Instead of standard cranberry, we had a cranberry/sage chutney from the jam/jelly maker in the market. Damn, that guy's good.

After dinner, we played a highly enjoyable if one sided game of Star Wars video trivia. I offered a handicap, but they declined. Ouch Time, indeed!

Check it out! Mount Rushmore!

Well, after the successful salsa incident a couple weeks ago, we're doing a salsa cooking competition at work on Tuesday. I'll be taking a serving of my homemade Salsa for the event.

However, I also, in a moment of weakness, bought a quart of tomatillos at the market yesterday in order to make salsa verde.

Holy Crap that was a mistake. You ever see the huge variety of salsa verde recipes out there? Boil the tomatillos, broil the tomatillos, toss them straight into a blender. Man.

I may broil them, just because roasted flavour tends to go over well with this crowd.

Anyone got any guidance? Good recipies that have worked for you? I got a couple serranos and a couple jalepenos as well as some frozen cilantro and can get some fresh if need be.

Warp Factor Holy Crap

Star Trek auction goes for double expected amount.

Some highlights: McCoy's space suit from the Tholian Web went for $144,000. A model Bird of Prey from ST: III went for $300K, thirty times its pre sale estimate. People got desperate as it went along; in a later lot, someone paid $132,000 for a model of the USS Lakota, which was estimated to sell for $3000.

Christie's staff wore Star Trek garb as they fielded bids via telephone.

The History Channel will be producing a documentary about the sale.

Since I work tomorrow...

I hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving. Huzzah!

Heh

A Mac commercial spoof that points out the inherent inferiority of the system for gaming.

Ah, I'll laugh while it's still true.

I believe Nick Mamatas said it best when he said, "Fuck You, Whitey"

There are: 0 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

On the other hand, freeport_pirate also does not live in the US. Or kynn. Or chadu, unless I spelled his last name incorrectly. Or righteousfist. Badass does.
