    Making a fritter with tempura batter around kabocha squash, served with fried sage leaves and a green curry cauliflower over rice tonight. Easy, but hopefully tasty!

    Dry that shit out really well, and see if you can't salvage it with plaster repair, rather than tearing out drywall.

    It's a PBS show. The Mind of a Chef | Shows | PBS Food He comes off as a rough, unpolished guy initially, but he does know his stuff. He said that he loved the flavour of the very soft, unpressed tofu, and he makes a version of it in his restaurant that is virtually indistinguishable...

    There are vegetarians in the crowd, so I'm cooking for everyone. Someone else is bringing a roast. Plus, with ingredients like butternut squash, who minds? That's some tasty stuff. I just watched an episode of "The Mind of a Chef." Anyone else know that? Not a super show if you're...

    I love the Olympics, a lot. The Winter Olympics more than the summer. Perhaps it's the Canadian in me. If Russia shits this up, I'ma be honked off. NBC generally messes coverage up enough to be ridiculous, but if NBC's crappy coverage is exacerbated by crappy Olympics because of Russia, it...

    I've got butternut squash and black bean chili in the crock pot, and some more butternut squash and heads of garlic roasting to make roasted butternut squash and garlic hummus for tonight. Pita bread is coming, too. Having a crowd here to watch Olympic opening tonight. wOOt!

    I also like Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course. Harder to find, though.

    My neighbourhood has about 100 houses in it. We're pretty rural. However, I talked to people from in town today, and they were doing similar things there. The city actually released a statement tonight, saying that now they had the neighbourhoods all cleared out (they do), they're sending out...

    Okay, I just witnessed something pretty cool. The plow just came down the street. The guy had already been down, but he pushed things back even further, and, after doing that, he came through again, and cleared out the mouth of everyone's driveway, and pushed the piles back so people could see...

    I actually screwed a large, spring rat trap to the rotten beam. I've caught three squirrels today. A few more days like this, and I'll be okay closing that beam back up.

    Awesome. Quick, easy fix. That's what you want every time! On an unrelated note, I have a squirrel in my eaves. I have some questionable wood on decorative beams, and in all this snow, the squirrels took the time to make a hole. There's no way I can reasonably change out the wood with the...

    ^that still needs to be plugged in. That's just a no-body instrument that has electronic pick ups so that it might be amplified by plugging it in. Taking wood out of a guitar for wireless transmitters is simply silly. Additionally, it is very common for bands to not play everything live in...

    Yeah, what if you stagger it? Wife is home six months, then has to go back to work, but the father could be home for the next six months, meaning a parent is home for the first full year. Seems like a fine idea to me.

    Marching band already has a building that is very near the stadium and is adjacent to the practice lots. It is true that the building the music department is currently in sucks the sweat off donkey balls, but attaching it to the football stadium seems an odd choice.

    I swaddled our youngest until he was over one. He slept so well all swaddled up. He didn't turn over until in his sleep until we stopped swaddling, and by that point we weren't worried about it.

    We go to a pool pretty much every day during summer months, and we have not once had a kid dump while in the pool, so I have no idea how good the swim diapers are. We must have been good in a previous life or something.

    I used Fuzzibunz from start to finish, and was able to sell the exteriors when I was done in each size (you can get used exteriors and new liners, and that makes it much more affordable, and it's perfectly hygienic). FuzziBunz - The Best Cloth Diapers for Your Baby and Our Environment
