Hiking at 18 mile creek
Category: hiking

We went hiking today at 18 mile creek with (e:jim) and (e:james). It was so nice out.

We climbed on some cliffs and saw a waterfall with a rainbow in it.

At least my winter didn't suck this bad.

Afterwards, we went to Thirsty Buffalo. This was my seconds time there and I was really not impressed with the food. Its okay. The entrees are defiantely not worth the price. The last time I got the ribs and they were cold. $17 for ribs that were cold. (e:jim) ordered us the poutine fries apettizer. They were pretty yum.

I love the transition from dead vermin to poutine.

enknot - 03/16/09 07:58
that dead rat is awsome.

tinypliny - 03/15/09 17:57
Wow - you *are* obsessed with smaller dead animals and birds.

Is this a gay guide to Europe
Category: gay

I saw this on the PBS member drive this morning. Who chose that name?

This is actually a gay magazine but it got so much gayer when (e:libertad) accidentally dipped it in the grease and blue cheese drippings from (e:terry)'s chicken hoagie at Jim's Steakout last night.

Haha I love Rick Steves! I used his books in Paris, Spain and Italy. I'm guessing that this is not a gay guide to Europe but rather a cheap, less touristy way to see Europe :)

metalpeter - 03/14/09 13:14
Well at least it doesn't say Greece instead of Europe, HA. I don't know I'm sure they never thought about any thing sexual, well unless of course it is about gay clubs and cities and places that are gay friendly but I doubt it is. Even if it was who would pay $75 for it.

Ponderosa lemons
Category: flowers

I think my favorite smell on dart is ponderosa lemon blossoms. These ones at the botanical gardens smell do good. A ponderosa lemon is a cross between a lemon and a citron. They are as big as grapefruits.
I searched for candies made out of them but came up empty handed ;
( Someday when I have a greenhouse I would really like this plant.

Event the cacti were flowering

The orchids are always so pretty

(e:matthew) made me talk a picture of these walking irises so that he could remember there name.

This plant looks like someone alien's nuts

metalpeter - 03/14/09 13:16
That last one does look like a ball sack but all the other ones look pretty nice.

lilho - 03/13/09 23:51
haaaahahah the last plant!!!!

lauren - 03/13/09 21:28
is it just me or does that last one look kinda like a ball sack?

Small rice cooker

for anyone who doesn't't gave a rice cooker, they are amazing and
you need one.

I eat rice just about everyday thanks to mine. I am not saying the
one in this pic us good but the price is. Saw it at walgeeen on
delaware and north.

tinypliny - 03/15/09 17:59
You can go up to 1.50 water: 1.00 rice. 1.50 makes softer rice - for south indian dishes.

And not all rice cookers are made equal. Hehe. If anyone is in the market for a new one, I strongly recommend Tatung.

heidi - 03/14/09 15:04
My rice cooker has four parts: lid, steamer bucket, bowl, and cooker. Rice cooking only uses three parts. I use it more now that (e:tinypliny) told me what i was doing wrong with basmati rice (best rice in the world) - 1.25 c. water to 1 c. rice, not 1:1.

drew - 03/14/09 14:55
can anybody ever tell if James is being sarcastic?

I bought a rice cooker at a garage sale but I think I lost a part, or maybe I am just not smart enough to put it together.

libertad - 03/14/09 13:33
James I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or if you really do set your rice cooker so you can wake up to fresh rice.

I used to want a rice cooker but I learned it wasn't that hard to just use a pot so I never got one. The one nice thing is it automatically shuts off when it is done so it doesn't burn it.

james - 03/13/09 23:25
My rice cooker is my favorite appliance. I like it even more than the dishwasher. I have a programable one so I can set it up in the evening and wake up to freshly made rice. Super yum.

Shrimpstravaganza
Category: food

So, at Wegman's, the wild caught 5lb bag of jumbo shrimp comes to $9.00 per lb which is a great deal. They are beyond tasty.

lilho - 03/13/09 23:52
this is what i want to eat in blo....

businesscheese - 03/13/09 11:35
On second though, shellfish + suitcase sounds like a recipe for disaster.

businesscheese - 03/13/09 11:33
That looks delicious. Send some back with (e:hodown), please.
