My Latest Flavor Bowl - Rare Tuna StyleCategory: food
I was at premier on Delaware picking up more Bubbies mochi ice cream treats when I saw they had sashimi grade tuna on sale at a great price. I got this very filling portion at the very reasonable price for $5.48. It was a little more than 1/2lb.
I paired it with mung bean noodles cooked with chopped mushrooms and seasoned with sesame oil on the bottom.
Then a layer of chopped celery, grated carrot, steamed escarole, asparagus, and sauteed shallots.
I cooked the thick tuna in long blocks real quick on each side and then sliced those blocks up further after cooking.
Here is the final product
As for the bubbies mochi icecream, this time I got tiramisu and chocolate peanut butter.

I haven't had mung bean noodles in such a long time. I have been eating like crap while I was travelling.

The second shot of the noodles with the musrooms reminds me of the noodles with the chinese-prunes dessert. Mmmmmmm.... I must make that soon. You take the very same noodles and you steam them with dried chinese prunes.

Wow - I love the evolution of the flavour bowl. I am so inspired by your bowls, I started making my own. Only, I devour them before photo-documenting!

Japanese Tsunami Footage CommentsCategory: web
I saw a link to this video posted by Casey on (e:terry)'s facebook wall. It seems so scary watching it rush in. I think I would have had a heart attack viewing it from the filming perspective. I wonder if those people got down safely or not? The real crazy part is the comments.
You're a muslim which means you're a dirty brown person who needs to be washed away like half of Japan!! -- jesuswashere0000 7 minutes ago
@NobleSquad 9/11 was worse because it was an act of hatred from one group of people to another. this was an avoidable act of nature.

It saddens me when God takes action against the non believers but who am I to try and comprehend and judge his will. It is a shame but the japs did had it coming.

Well the 2nd comment does make a little bit of sense from the fact that this is a risk that may and will happen someday that you live with... Like if you live in the outerbanks a Hurricane will do damage and if you are on the beach it will happen and if off the beach it may happen........
That being said I get that some people do think that Non Believers and those who fall from faith are punished in this life aren't there all kinds of plagues in the bible... I can also see how people who think like that would then think that bad things happen to people and that is the cause...... But where I get lost is that I have never heard of a Muslim Japanese person.... What I have heard of is many Christians ....... Now I get to these extreme people that any other faith other then the one they believe is the devil and a cult and sends you directly to hell even if you believe in the same guy ..... So you are say Baptist you go to Heaven but Southern Baptist direct line to hell as an example it is just crazy........

Forced to Watch at the Holding CenterCategory: buffalo
Everyone knows how much I hate advertising but this is really taking it over the top. I guess these people are prisoners for a reason but it seems like the beginning of something bad.
The crazy part is the payoff is so litte.
I guess any profit made is good in Buffalo desperate financial situation but it seems like such an insignificant amount in the budget of Erie County. Like that could have saved that much not running generators 24/7 for like 5 months on my corner when they were doing road construction.
Starting next week, advertisements will begin to run at the Erie County Holding Center in Buffalo. Interspersed will be some "need-to-know" information, in case this is your first time in lock-up.
The screens will run relevant information, such as the rules and regulations of the holding centre, while also airing public-service announcements for “socially responsible issues and county services†such as addiction rehabilitation.
It will also air advertisements, most notably for defence attorneys and bail bondsmen. since the audience will likely be looking for some help in that field....
However, the ads will not be limited to just services targeted to those in jail, Diina said.
“Eventually, most of these people get out. So they do represent the future of the marketplace,†he said.
The crazy part is the payoff is so litte.
The advertising at Erie County Holding Center could bring in more than $10,000 a year. Half of the spots already have been sold.

I think they should totally make more on revenue and make these ridiculous law firms pay more if they are so strapped for cash.

The worst vacation ever - rantCategory: vacation
So my final two vacation days to burn up. Just before I took them I got a huge project to deal with at work for thursday. I am beyond capacity at this point and it doesn't seem to get any better.
I worked on it a bunch this weekend and then last night:
a. The windows XP machine I needed for testing had some sort of disk failure.
b. I decided to compile gnome-shell from scratch to see the latest version - which ended up taking forever.
c. I got a freakin cold. I can't believe I am sick now.
So today I spent the whole day with full-on cold, mostly napping. I am convinced it has to do with my new tooth crown - which I hate as it tastes like metal. If I realized porcelain meant, porcelain fused to cheap metal like nickel - I would have just gotten a gold tooth. Now its kind of too late. To get it off would probably make me lose my whole tooth and a good chunk of change.

I see that tree all the time... and I wonder about the same thing. It's amazing that the resin on that tree stump must keep it from rotting.
I'm just as surprised you are about that tree still being there after all this time. I reckon the property owner doesn't give a shit. I wonder if the city would do anything about it.
