“Morale of the story: a little woo goes a long way.” Hey, that’s my company featured in today’s Sydney Morning Herald! I am actually secretly in that photography twice. Over Paul’s head, you can see some text saying “…precious about the Retailer…”. That’s part of a “Woo” I gave a co-worker. And on Karen’s shoulder, you can see my name projected on the scoreboard.

@redambition LOVE. They’re more delicate than I expected. So pretty! My stupid prescription precludes me from anything but THICK frames. 🙁
@twelveeyes The really strong kind. Even with super high-index lenses, they’re still too thick for delicate (wire, invisible, etc) frames.
@twelveeyes Ah, you’re worse than me! I’m -6.50 and -8.50. If we were cavemen, we’d be dead. 🙂
@handmethepanda I’d think that too, except that the pizza shops seem to be doing okay with online!
@handmethepanda Maybe HN site could direct order to nearest franchisee that can fill it…

@mrs_sockvictim Nope. Takin’ Petey to get his shot… which will probably involve more exercise catching the little bastard first! 🙂

Picky picky
“Pickiness: The Secret Eating Disorder Nobody’s Talking About” – Seriously? They’re actually suggesting the picky eating should be put into the DSM-V as a mental disorder?! I’ll admit I have very little patience with these people. It’s because I used to be one. And through a little effort and experimentation, I got over it. I can’t help but think, “What crybabies.” Ever notice how these disorders only show up in places like the US and UK, where indulgent parents and an abundance of food make it possible for someone to spend their whole childhood eating nothing but – ugh – chicken nuggets?

@merrinmez Hahaha, nice one! And you’ve got a photo too! 🙂
@merrinmez @MargotPalk If you want some other knitters to follow, I have a whole list: http://t.co/nkETiiUk. Not all Guild though!
@the_snook Is a crackdown on a scammy gambling site that was most likely breaking laws really the thin edge of the wedge?
In case my other Guildies didn’t notice, @merrinmez and @MargotPalk have been assimilated. 🙂
@mathowie That’s brilliant. I might be able to read MeFi on my phone on my next visit to the States! Thanks for the info…
@the_snook They were taking money from Marylanders and skirting laws to pay them winnings. Actual laws broken. http://t.co/bVOH7IZV
@the_snook Maryland “offended” is hardly the term. Everybody knows the US doesn’t do online gambling. They were being sneaky about it.
@witty_knitter @the_snook Only when he starts sounding like a paranoid, 4chan-reading, conspiracy theorist Internet wingnut. 🙂
@gilmae @the_snook True. But I worked on a gambling site. And everybody knows you don’t take bets from Americans. They ran that risk.
@the_snook @witty_knitter Oh, he’s a total wingnut. 🙂
@gilmae @the_snook We’ve continued the argument offline. 🙂

I’ve been brining a lamb shoulder in the fridge for 3 days & this morning I put it in the slow cooker. Can’t wait to get home and smell it!
Dinner tonight: Slow Roasted Lamb Shoulder, Silverbeet, Capsicum, and Beans. #paleo http://t.co/Xcw7dU8o
@drkknits Definitely! Turned out VERY nice. 🙂
@eileenDCoE It starts at 7pm on a Sunday. It’d kill me. Afternoon, sure. But I’d fall asleep at night. 🙁
@drkknits Recipe is up!

Dinner tonight: Slow Roasted Lamb Shoulder, Silverbeet, Capsicum, and Beans. #paleo
Edited to add: The lamb is Mark Vetri’s Slow Roasted Lamb Shoulder, and it was excellent. I saw the recipe last week, and fortunately our butcher had a great deal on lamb shoulders. (2 for $30!) You actually brine it in the fridge for 3 days. I modified the recipe a bit. I just did one shoulder, which was about half the size he specified. I used dried rosemary instead of fresh, and I cut down on the sugar a bit. It all went into a big Ziplock and then sat in the fridge getting tasty. Today I cooked it in the slow cooker rather than the oven. I rested it on a bed of onions, carrots, and celery. It smelled AMAZING when we got home. I pulled out the shoulder and set it on a tray to cool. The bones slid out easily. In the recipe, he has you slice it and then fry the chunks for extra crispness. Instead I sorta pulled it apart into shreds on the tray, then whacked it under the grill for a few minutes. Yummy, salty, lamby goodness! The only drawback to the slow cooker is you don’t get nice roast veggies to have with it. (Mine were cooked into mush, which I attempted to turn into a gravy.) Still, a great way to use a cheap, flavourful cut. Will definitely do this one again.
