All Things Chill

Thanksgiving (USA) is next week, so I decided to test out some recipes throughout the week for a trial run. (All recipes below can be made at LEAST 1 day ahead prior to serving)

Meatloaf with Bacon and Eggs.
Next Time, I wouldnt rock the eggs (I love the bacon) and replace half of the chili [...]

I woke up @ 4am this morning and saw that episode 109 of Naruto was available on .torrent. I threw it in my queue and it only took 15 mins using Azureus. The Java based application runs perfectly on my backup (non-laptop) 550mhz box @ home. I also use VLC media player [...]

49% of USA says sorry.
World accepts apology.

Emo has been a great fit for my recent mood and Ben Gibbard, lead vocal of Death Cab for Cutie and integral part of The Postal Service, knows it. His music makes me wanna endlessly slide face first down a hill of semi-melted vanilla ice cream. I’ve been listening to all his tracks [...]

Ok. Its either Jacqui’s post on Meatloaf or my post about the Thanksgiving Soda that got me on this fooder-lust, but it got me thinking how much I love side dishes, especially @ Boston Market. I hardly ever go to eat there, but when I do, I can feed 4-5 people without lifting [...]

I love internets. By pure delicious blog link randomness, I ended up at Ghetto Toyota last weekend. John has a post about Jones Soda’s Thanksgiving Flavors.
OMG, I am so sad right now even though it is my birthday. I don’t know how many of you have heard of Jones Soda but [...]

I honestly can say that I know only ONE other person that watches this on a regular basis. And by ‘regular basis’, I mean coming over to my place and veggin’ on my couch . If you’re a Naruto fan, take the the quiz here.

Quick pics from the seminar in Chicago:

Good times. Highlights: Gourmet breakfast buffet, cool swag from sponsoring companies, a great view of the city, interesting people on the train, a good drive home. Can’t say much more… it was a great day and I’m glad that I went.

To finish up an online course I’m creating @ werk, I had to drive a couple hours west to East Moline, Illinois. The professor I met spoke clearly and cohesively. We finished recording in 30 mins, which is a world record for me. God bless people like him!!! Anyway, East Moline [...]
