Stupid Man Tricks - Run, Run Into The Police Car Edition & Anguished Repose
"My friend.--Welcome to the Carpathians. I am anxiously expecting you. Sleep well tonight. At three tomorrow the diligence will start for Bukovina; a place on it is kept for you. 4 May--I found that my landlord had got a letter from the Count, directing him to secure the best place on the coach for me; but on making inquiries as to details he seemed somewhat reticent, and pretended that he could not understand my German. This could not be true, because up to then he had understood it perfectly; at least, he answered my questions exactly as if he did. He and his wife, the old lady who had received me, looked at each other in a frightened sort of way. Just before I was leaving, the old lady came up to my room and said in a hysterical way: "Must you go? "Do you know what day it is?" "Oh, yes! On my saying that I did not understand, she went on: "It is the eve of St. It was all very ridiculous but I did not feel comfortable. ~Dracula, Bram Stoker, Chapter 1
A Two Bite Breakfast: Bacon & Eggs in Toast Cups
* Updated post from archive: Originally posted March 29, 2009 If you where to ask me what is my favorite meal of the day without a thought my response would be breakfast! I love breakfast! I love brunch! I love bacon! I love breggs! These little goodies are all of the above in a little two bite package. The other day I was scanning through my copy of William & Sonoma’s: Tools and Techniques. And, they are crazy easy to make. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Trim the crust and the corners off the bread, making wonky looking circles. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and lay the bacon strips on it. Shape the cooled bacon into the toast cups, with the meaty side out. Also, if you aren’t a fan of creamy delicious runny eggs you can beat 4 eggs with a bit of milk, season and spoon into the cups. Lower the temperature of the oven down to 350 degrees. Run a knife along the edges and use a small spoon to pop them out. For the love of eggs, bacon and toast! Ingredients 6 slices of bread 6 eggs
Vintage Recipe: Warm Fudgy Pudding Cake Recipes from The Kitchn
This is not the demure individually-portioned dessert served in restaurants with white tablecloths. No, ma'am. According to my mother, my grandma would make this for the kids when a special treat was merited. This messy, sticky, cocoa-rich affair is more like a self-saucing brownie than anything else. And like all such things, it's best served warm and with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. In the copy of Favorite Recipes from First United Methodist Church of Stillwater, Minnesota that has been passed down to me, the recipe for "Chocolate Cake Pudding" by Shirley Nelson is circled in bold blue ink. In a quick phone consultation with my mother, she laughed and admitted that she had no idea which of these venerable church ladies' recipes my grandma followed, though she's absolutely sure it used cold water. In pulling together my own version of this vintage recipe, I simply channeled Grandma Dola. Even channelling Grandma, this recipe still takes a leap of faith. Serves 6 to 8 Notes:

That's a bit harsh. MorenoMalizia 2 years ago wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww nmn m You look like absolute garbage compared to the precision here. UsinCiamis 2 years ago Page 1

Makes: 4 servings Ingredients: 4 thick-cut slices day old Italian bread 6 eggs, divided 1/2 cup milk 1 tablespoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon sea salt Maple syrup and fruit for garnish Directions: 1. 2. 3.
Scandikitchen: Scandinavian Food
Scandinavia is a big place, and filing our whole food culture in a box marked “pickled herring” isn’t going to cut the (dill) mustard. There’s a lot of talk in the press about something called the Nordic Diet. It all stems from a study about how eating the Nordic way can be very beneficial for your whole being. Read more about the actual Nordic Diet here (Link to be added here – need to write it too – wooo hooo – feel free to have a stab?) Scandinavian food is a bit like us, really: no nonsense, direct and occasionally your face. • Grain and cereal such as rye and oats • Seafood and fish, mainly prawns, salmon, mackerel and herring • Meat both smoked and cured, including lots of game (sorry, Rudolf) • Stuff from trees, bushes and fields such as wild berries and mushrooms A distinct lack of sunlight and very long, cold winters meant we quickly got used to the idea of preserving food, pickling vegetables and smoking and curing meats to make sure we had enough to last the winter.

Interview with Alexander Shulgin
By DENNIS ROMERO LAFAYETTE, Calif. -- Perhaps it was a sign of things to come when a seven-story Monterrey Pine came crashing down on the property of old Alexander T. Shulgin--Sasha, they call him--missing his musty cobweb-entangled drug lab by inches. It could have been a good sign because the cantankerous 70-year-old wasn't around the back-yard workshop conducting one of his legendary experiments, which have been known to involve him downing any number of the new psychedelic drugs he invents in the name of science. Imagine losing your mind on some unknown compound with unknown powers (some of this stuff makes LSD look like Vitamin D)--and a tree the length of three buses rocks your world to Richter proportions. Maybe, though, it was a sign of nefarious things to come. To tell the truth, Sasha Shulgin doesn't much care anymore what the government thinks. He's tippy-toed around the law and the lawmen for long enough--30 years now. Shulgin met Ann at Berkeley in 1979.
One Pan English Breakfast {For Washing Up Dodgers}
If a Moroccan Shakshuka had a passionate affair with a Full English, this would be the resulting love child. Everything you love from both sides, all coming together in one glorious pan. Eggs, bacon, sausages, beans, tomato, with none of the frying, none of the hob juggling and barely any of the washing up. Too good to be true? Too good to be good? Oh ye of little faith! I’ll tell you how to make it for one, then you can multiply as needed. 2 free-range chipolata sausages 1 handful of bacon bits/chopped up pancetta Third of a tin of chopped tomatoes Third of a tin of baked beans 1tsp chilli flakes 1tsp smoked paprika 2 free-range eggs Sprinkle of herbs (I like thyme, because who doesn’t need a little extra thyme in the mornings?) Pepper Optional: Hot sauce, bread, ketchup. Equipment: A smallish ovenproof dish (I like these) Pre-heat your oven to 18oC/350F. Take them out after 10mins, add your bacon. Remove after 10, or until this happens: Add your toms. Add your beans. Sprinkle with chilli and paprika.
