I made pavlovas for dessert. I have a smeaking suspicion that each
one is over 600 calories of goodness. It's a giant meringue base
covered in whip cream and strawberries in syrup with grated dark
chocolate over the top.

I think I might have burnt out the beaters trying to whisk it into
stiff peaks. It's really time I get a stand mixer.

Megan made a beef roast for dinner this evening. It had coriander
seeds on the outside. Tgey make for such a good taste. It was so
delicious. I finally got to use my silver roast serving tray and my
new electric knife, which (e:mike) got me for Jesus' birthday. They
really do work like magic.

I think I wrote about this once before when they were on sale but
called Buddha's fingers. I don't understand where the fruit is. It
looks like 90% pure rind. Seriously, who pays $14.99 for this. I
think $4.99 sounds like too much -they do look cool though.

Today, youtube came out with a playstation 3 and wii interface that is really well suited for television. I think it is also well suited for the computer as it is really streaminlined and nice.



Sadly, they don't make it available for viewing it on the computer.

But you can make it work on your computer.

The way they check is by checking your playstation 3 user agent. Luckily, you can make your computer pretend to be a platstation.

The playstation user agent is:
Mozilla/5.0 (PLAYSTATION 3; 2.00)

There a lot of different ways to fake your user agent. I am going over how to do it with Safari on mac.

First you need to enable the "develop" menu in Safari. To do this open the terminal application in /Applications/utilties/terminal.app. Then type the following into:

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

Once you do that, restart Safari and you will see a new "Develop" menu between the "Bookmarks" and "Window" menu. I know its weird because the command says IncludeDebugMenu and then you get a Develop menu, but just trust me. Click on Develop and choose, User Agent-> other from the drop down.

In the box that pops up type the Playstation 3 user agent from above.

Then visit the new youtube TV interface:

Remember to switch back to the default safari user agent when you are done using the same menu.

Last night I headed to wegman's to get some more of that tummy organic
sirloin but they were all out. Not just that, they were out of a
significant amount of organic things - even organic bananas. I wonder
if I just hit the down day or if more people buy organic now. I mean
I get why the organic wegmans brand peanut butter is out with that
salmonella scare, but why beef and bananas.

So the title of the journal has to do with this picture. I think it
is the first time I saw wegman's so empty. It was only like 9:30pm
but I guess it was like -5F
