This was on my bus seat. Their grammar is indicative of their intelligence. They also drew a dick with giant horns on the adjacent window. And yes, I am also wondering why I didn’t take a picture.

Whenever I am in a car driving or being driven somewhere and the surrounding environment looks foreign in some way, I’ll start to convince myself that I am somewhere else. For example, I forget the name of the city, but on the drive from Boston to the Berkshires, there is an exit sign and the town name is very German looking. Whenever I drove passed it, I would convince myself I was in Germany. It’s evolved into a game called “Where are we!?” – which I yell whenever I deem appropriate. The point of all this is that just now as I was walking through a library, I heard this low moaning sound similar to whale, but probably from the construction outside. Magically I had convinced myself that I went to college at Sealab and it was very common to hear whales singing outside the library. Try playing sometime.

Sandwich: Generic veggie patty, pineapple with cinnamon, pickled red onions, condiments, fresh French bread. | Skewer: red bell pepper, pineapple with cinnamon, white wine and apple cider vinegar marinated seitan
I was in New York for a day or two over the summer visiting my friend, Alison. She, among many other things, has been a great resource as I improve my cooking skills. One thing she had that really knocked my socks off was quick picked red onions.
Boiling them down
It’s so easy to make, too. All you really do is blanch red onions, cut into rings, and then boil in vinegar, sugar, chili oil, and spices (star anise, bay leaves, pepper corns, etc).
Cooling them down
Once they’re a nice pink color, transfer into a jar, then cool down in the refrigerator.
Chowing them down
They go awesome on burgers, sandwiches, beans, and really anything. I eat them straight from the jar a lot.
Curious!

Don’t bother viewing my site if you use Internet Explorer.

Making a website isn’t that hard. What makes it hard, for me, is the large number of browsers and screen sizes and being accommodating to all combinations thereof. To make my life easier, I have decided to ignore one browser that has decided to ignore the rest of the world, Internet Explorer.
I am sick and tired of having to program an element the standard way, and then having to look up what bug in IE doesn’t render it correctly and how to jury-rig it so it sort of looks okay.
Here’s the deal. Go to http://acid3.acidtests.org/ and if your browser passes, then my website will work for you. MOST browsers pass that test, however IE has never and Microsoft has officially stated they have no interest in “web standards.” Yeah, that won’t last.
Everyone Loves a Seven Incher

BK Super Seven Incher Advertisement
You know what is HILARIOUS about this ad? I’m assuming they are marketing it to men, with the whole pretty blond looking like she’s giving head. However, think about it. The ad is saying that the BK Super Seven Incher is a penis. They are selling men a $6.25 meal that includes a drink, fries, and a “seven incher” for them to sink their teeth on.
