Still awake. Listening to Aphex Twin. Hacking my Raspberry Pi. Staring at this black and white console typing in commands. Feeling nostalgic. Deja vu. Wasn’t I doing this exact same thing 15 years ago? ipmasq in the kitchen. air feels hot, bird outside keeping me awake. i used to walk down here. there’s never anything in the fridge but beer. winds of change. i can tell something is wrong but i can’t fix it. someone stole my bike. magic on the floor. broken phil. let’s go get fraps. cigars and port. stroll and savor. everything’s gonna be OK, Randy.
Google Plus
Last month I said goodbye to Facebook and Twitter. I did the best I could to erase my tracks–as if I’d never used those websites.
Then I started using more Google Plus.
G+ takes the best features from Facebook, Twitter, and a good ol’ fashioned blog and combines them in one convenient package. G+ has communities and groups, picture and video sharing, social networking, and all that stuff.
So far so good, I’m really enjoying the experience. Seems like right now it’s mostly techies that use G+ but that also has the added bonus of less high school drama.
I can still honestly say that I don’t miss Facebook or Twitter one bit.
The best thing I ever cooked
If you don’t like lamb, I don’t even know what to say to you. I don’t even know who you are.
Lamb is a delicious meat. I particularly like ground hamburger lamb. Scrumptious!
Buy local if you can. You know, just because. If you can’t buy local then you definitely want New Zealand lamb. Don’t get Australian lamb, it’s old and tastes like mutton.
Form the ground lamb into patties. Cook on medium heat in your favorite skillet. Add salt and pepper and garlic to taste.
When the patties are done, remove from pan. Add some of your favorite red wine to the leftover fat and crispy bits. Pour over the patties.
For bonus points add some deli mustard, pickles, and slices of fine Irish cheddar (like Kerrygold). If you really want to turn it up to 11, add some slices of pastured bacon.
This. This is the best thing I’ve ever cooked. Lamb is rapidly becoming my favorite meat.
