Jeff and Erin are getting married. That save-the-date video is AWESOME. (Some great shots of Sydney too for your furriners.) So wait, these are two somewhat-geeky American-Australians living in Sydney that I don’t know? How is that possible?!

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…

How to paint a room. Good step-by-step tutorial. I’ve never painted a room before.
Week 3
As you might have noticed, my “secret project” didn’t quite materialise just yet. It’s a running podcast! I’ve got all the pieces in place though, and I’m hoping to upload the first episode tonight. It’s called Geek Girl Runner, and the plan is to record a new episode every two weeks. In the meantime, training continues. I had an especially hard workout at Spudds yesterday, so my run this morning was crapola. Still, I haven’t missed a run yet this year…
Jan 15: 5.09km
Jan 17: 8km
Jan 19: 5.54km
Jan 21: 5.16km
Total this week: 23.8km (14.8mi)
Total in 2010: 68.7km (43mi)
To meet my goal of running 1000km this year, I should be at 57.5km right now. So I’m about 10km ahead of schedule! That’s good; I like to have a cushion.
Jacket+Bookmark. So clever! I love it. (Link found via peacay‘s shared Google Reader feed.)
Whoa! Cafe Otto in Glebe burned down last night. That’s where I had my celebratory hamburger at the end of Worldvision Famine 2004.
