    @misswired @VenessaHunt HA! Fat chance. It took me six years to get him to comment on my blog.

    @DianneKing It’s this one from Nigella Lawson: http://bit.ly/iTpZI

    The air conditioner in the office isn’t on. I don’t miss the cold air as much as the white noise. It’s eerily quiet in here.

  • Of Breakfast Sausage

    Of Breakfast Sausage
    I’ve mentioned before that American-style breakfast sausage is the #1 item on my list of foods that I miss. It just doesn’t exist here (except on McDonald’s Egg McMuffins, I think, but I don’t eat those anyway). The supermarket just lacks that section with Jimmy Dean links and patties, and those big plastic tubes of sausage meat. Anyway, Danielle is in the same boat, and yesterday she linked to this recipe for homemade sausage patties. I decided to give it a go. I used regular pork mince from the supermarket, then dumped in all the recommended spices. It made about 8 small patties. I fried up four and froze the other four. We had them with pancakes this morning, and you know what? They were great! I need to play around with the ratios a bit to get them just how I like them, but they had that undeniably American breakfast sausage taste. Hooray! Biscuits and gravy, here I come…

    EEK – My Newton lugs are worn down after 4 months! @sirisaac, is this normal? What’s expected replacement mileage/time? (cc @IronBrandon)

    Hm. Actually, it looks like I got my Newtons at the end of August. So it’s really been more like 5 months. (@sirisaac @IronBrandon)

    @Opheli8 Pan flutes and holes in reality?

    @DDsD IIRC white has had coating removed and is therefore a little hotter. But it’s mostly used in dishes where black specks aren’t wanted.

    @Alegrya Gotcha. It’s cool. I’m like 2 minutes away on the bus.

    I just unlocked the “Zoetrope” badge on @foursquare!

    Sparkle emo vampire lurve, here we go! (@ Event Cinemas)

    @misswired @Alegrya @dancingman I’m waiting at the theater, which has no lights right now.

    Saturday morning at the cinema appears to be single dad + kid time. At least it’s cool and quiet.
