Cowboy steaks
Category: food
How do you eat those and why have I never had one? Wegman's is so different on Saturday day versus weekday nights. There are so many more people but there are also so many more options and a ton of food samples.

Cross-sections of striated muscle and supporting connective tissue in a sheath of fat cells. They look very human. I am reminded of my Anatomy dissection days.

That looks so good.

I have had some real issues with Wegmans meat smelling like sulfur lately. I wish they actually butchered it there.

At least its not a jackfruit tree
Category: food
This unnamed fruit (e:paul,52770) got me thinking about exotic fruits.

Even though having so many pears is a pain sometimes, it beats having a jackfruit tree in the backyard, although I would like to try jackfruit I don't think I could deal with such giant fruits. Definately sounds dangerous to shake them down.

They remind me of home - in some states, you can practically see one in every home. We didn't have enough space for them though and I think they require more tropical and humid climates than what they can get in Delhi. You need to read this fascinating journal about them :::link::: The writer is spot on with many observations. You could get a serious concussion if one falls on your head or worse get nudged into a coma.

Ktouch
Category: linux
I feel like such a loser that after about 20 years of typing constantly I still never use my pinky fingers. I decided to do something about it and learn to type properly once and for all. I installed ktouch, which is a Linux KDE touch typing tutorial application.

Unfortunately my package manager bundled it with a whole bunch of other children's crap.

On the other hand I have logo again. I always loved that turtle.

Delicious Dinner at Seabar
Category: food
We went out to dinner with (e:Jim) to see him before he takes off for Portland. I am totally jealous. If my family wasn't here I would leave in a heartbeat. I really want to stick it out here but it really seems like every smart person I know leaves.

It doesn't help that I hate my job so thoroughly right now. I am totally bored working with so many people who don't even seem remotely interested in what they do other than that it brings them a paycheck.

I yearn to have a technical conversation with people that can understand and are interested in the details of the technology they are using. I never thought I would say this, but I want the next place I work to also be union free. That and I want to be the boss ;)

What is the first plate? Is that a series of cross-sections from the same fish? Is that served raw or was it cooked in some way?
jbeatty - 09/18/10 18:29
Beau Soleil oysters with cucumber and jalapeno salsa. One of my favorite things to eat. What is dish number three? (e:jim) are you moving to portland?

What are these fruits?
Category: food
I found them growing on a tree near searbar. At first I was so excited because I thought they were leachee fruits but they are not.
