Blogger Ideas

Lately I have been having tons of ideas for posts on my blogs and have determined that there is really only one way of saving these ideas in blogger itself - create a new post with the idea. The problem with this method is that you have to create a new post, write your entry and then go back and delete the original post with the idea in it. This creates extra steps that I am not pleased about. There should be a little notes section in the post tab of blogger where the creator/author(s) can leave little notes to themself(ves) about possible entries. This is my great idea for the day - perhaps Google will incorporate it.

A Real Book

This comic comes from Penny Arcade and is simply genius. It has to do with the new piece of technology out there that is basically an electronic book. I had heard about this product on the Daily Planet a few weeks ago and thought it was quite ridiculous then too. Many of the selling features are mocked in this comic such as 'it feels like you are really turning the pages' - seriously though the guy displaying it on the Daily Planet actually spoke like that. Anyways, Penny Arcade is hilariously good and I felt like sharing this one with everyone.

Damn You Lone Star!

Dave and I have always enjoyed Lone Star's fajitas. We have pretty much only ever gone on Mondays since that is the 'all-you-can-eat' night. Endless amounts of meat fajitas, rice, beans and toppings. Did you hear that Lone Star - TOPPINGS! That means endless amounts of cheese, lettuce and the other bits I don't eat (sour cream, guacamole, salsa).
If you haven't guessed already, when Dave and I went last night we learned that they have changed their menu and lowered their 'all-you-can-eat' standards. There are no longer endless supplies of toppings to go with your meat and fajitas. I was seriously disappointed. How can you have 'all-you-can-eat' fajitas with a pathetic amount of cheese (~ 2 Tbsp) and lettuce (~ 1/4 cup). That leads to either about 2 or 3 proper fajitas or just crappy fajitas where you can't taste anything but the meat anyways.
Dave and I did our best to eat as much of the meat as possible, but I am not a huge meat person and really can't eat that much. The rice was mushy and gross last night so I really didn't have much of that and neither or us like the beans all that much to begin with. It pretty much came down to the obvious fact that last night was our last visit to Lone Star. It might have been a tiny bit sad except for the fact that the hostess was distant, the waitress was a little weird and no one said good bye when we left.

Garlic-Rosemary Potatoes

Whenever I visit Dave's family I know I am going to eat well. His sister can bake up the most delicious things and both of his parents are very good cooks. One of my favourite things they make are these roasted potatoes with rosemary. When I was there in the summer they made them and I finally worked up the nerve to ask about the ingredients. They are really simple actually.
You just peel and cut up potatoes into bit size pieces and then put them in a glass bowl. Put a little olive oil and/or butter on them then season them with some rosemary (I have since added garlic). If you add a little Montreal steak spice they get even better tasting. You pop them in the microwave for about 10 minutes and then wrap them up in tinfoil and either place them on the BBQ or in the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes. Alternatively you can just keep them in the microwave longer. Very yummy.

Pinky

I just saw this on Cute Overload and had to share it. It is a pink dolphin. Dave doesn't think this is true at all so I looked it up in Google and found some other pictures. Photoshop is such an amazing program. However, there are cases in the past where dolphins have had pink blotches on them along with their grey skin and markings (albino dolphins). Though I have a strong feeling that this guy is Photoshop due to its entire pinkness and not just blotches.
