All Things Chill

I want a man purse bag (like this one, but in orange) to carry all my gadgets with me at all times without all the extra empty space. That being siad, I’d definitely settle for something like the Tumi T-Tech Pulse Norfolk Convertible Computer Messenger Backpack. Does the sex-i-ness ever stop?!?! [...]

Mushroom Duxelle Stuffed Muscovy Duck Roulade with Batonnet Carrots and French Cut Haricot Verts Sauteed in Duck Fat.
Large “before” and “after” pictures from Flickr. More pictures from yesterday here (Thanks Jacqui!).
I made dinner for Jacqui and Clint! Hee hee. Tons of fun. It’s honestly a sample of how much I’ve learned [...]

Some new visitors came to visit me in my “new hometown” this evening. We had ice cream (duh), and did some other great super-fun ultra blaster master skin dwarf giraffe awesomeness things. The weather was beautiful!
This is one of my favorite pictures from today. I look like a freakin’ zombie. Jacqui [...]

HI! I think I’m going to spin an UNANNOUNCED N’ SEXY DEEP HOUSE set on Dogglounge tonite. Maybe. LOL. That’s all. I MISS YOU GUYS!
XOXOXO,

I FINALLY used my new $5 rice cooker from Walgreens last weekend for a little packed lunch. Luckily, it didn’t explode. LOL. I don’t expect it to last a long time, but if it could somehow make it through a couple months… I’ll be satisfied.
Anyway, I packed a tiny lunch [...]

I saw Nacho Libre yesterday. I laughed a lot, but not hard enough to soil my pants. I also fell asleep 1/2 through. If that’s any indication on how great the movie is… then my job here is done. Was it worth the $10 to see it @ the Metreon? [...]

My first baseball game EVAR. $4 ticket! Alice was nice enough to invite me with her crew. It’s kind of embarrassing that It took me 25 years and a trip to the west coast to get me to go to a baseball game. I really can’t believe that I never been [...]

I had the ‘Pod cranked to ELEVEN yesterday @ work trying to find a reason to like the new Hoobastank album: Every Man For Himself. No dice. I’m definitely not feelin’ what they’re putting out. It’s just a rehash of The Reason over and over again. I think they’re [...]

Wow. I haven’t posted about anything Anime related in quite a while. It’s prolly ’cause nothing that I’ve watch is really that blog-worthy. No big fights, no new super-powers, no new love stories… just filler. Le Sigh.
Anyway. I’ve finally had enough time to watch the first few episodes of [...]

With all of the instant messaging programs that I currently have running… the arduous task of telling EVERYONE that I’m away “napping” is quite cumbersome. Can someone just make a catch-all solution to this? One text box to fill out that auto-magically talks to Meetro, GTalk, MSN / Windows Live Messenger / [...]

Mark and I has ourselves a nice little video call this mornin’ on the newly released Windows Live Messenger (version 8.0 BETA). It was good times. I met their dog… and Mark and Chris watched me eat cereal. It was fun.
Nono really, it was!

Quick post. Hit the Ferry Building’s Farmer’s Market this morning and stopped by Chue’s Farm (sorry no link) for some garlic, red onion, a large bunch of Thai basil, green onions and bird’s beak chilies. I also said hello to the folks from Hodo Soy Beanery and bought a big bag of tofu. [...]

As a cute distraction from cookin’ in class, our instructors showed us how to make salt dough. I liken it to a grainy play dough that dries @ room temperature. Some Garde Manger chefs will sculpt various objects in different shapes and sizes and use it for a center piece or a foundation [...]
