  • Blog Posting

    I realised the other day that my automatic blog posting from Instagram and Twitter was broken. Sorry about that. My web host changed some settings and suddenly my scripts stopped working. I managed to get through to tech support today though and the Snook gave some very welcome assistance. It ain’t much, but your trickle of Kris-news will continue…

    I made a beautiful, tasty thing tonight. #ratatouille

    This is Smitten Kitchen’s ratatouille, and it’s a beautiful thing! Usually we just chunk everything up and throw in a pot, so spending the time to meticulously slice all the veg was an effort. I used a rather large eggplant (cut in two so the slices were half-moons), a big zucchini, and a big red capsicum. This version is also baked rather than cooked on the stove. The Snook was skeptical of all the work, but he was converted when I served it up. Oh! And I put some creamy goat’s cheese on top, as the recipe suggests. PERFECTION. That just takes it right over the top…

    Coffee Drinks: A Visual Glossary | Serious Eats: Drinks – I was amused that the last slide shows the Australian latté and the flat white. However, no mention of the fact that cappuccinos here are always covered in cocoa powder? (I don’t drink them.)

    We had scary awful wet stormy flood weather a year ago too… except it was a week later, and I was RUNNING A MARATHON IN IT. #memories

    @tammybutow The inspiring women of @Sitback! Lindsey, Alison, me, Leanne, and Elly. http://t.co/r6EqPWqe

    @tammybutow Emailed you a big one too!

    @shanea Good luck! (“Online gaming” sounds like horse racing or Zynga.) 🙂

    Rockin’ the 60s eyeliner for the first time in public! http://t.co/bBqyqXE7

    @drkknits It’s all the photos I post of myself, isn’t it? I am the most self-absorbed Facebooker EVER. I am aware of this. 🙂

    @drkknits Damn. Was hoping you were silly enough to include your phone number so I could spam you all day.

    Whoa. @hartsyard looks gooooood. POUTINE IN SYDNEY? Pretzel ice cream? I must go to there.

  • How to determine fabric content

    How to determine fabric content – Very cool. I’d heard of doing a “burn test” but didn’t know exactly how to go about it. Good to know.

  • Priscilla Chan

    Judging Priscilla Chan: Why People Won’t Stop. Great article about how the media seem to be frustrated by Mark Zuckerberg’s wife’s refusal to put on the princess act for them. Good for her.

    Stupid rustic hipster benches at the Fine Food Store! Snagged my black tights and now I’ve got a hole. I guess it’s punk rock.

    Ha! If I was ever tempted to put those stupid “My Family” stickers on a car, I’d definitely get a cavewoman: http://t.co/1t41B3cc. #paleo

    @squozen I’m pretty sure that one exists. XKCD did it as a joke, but I saw online that they made the $$ sticker. I like that one too. 🙂

    50 Shades of Grey… read by Gilbert Gottfried. SO WRONG. I have tears from laughing. (And yes, that’s the real text.) http://t.co/K5qCduh4

    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Dammit! Serves me right for passing on the tights. ALWAYS GET THE TIGHTS!

    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Haha, nope. I stupidly said I didn’t need any. That’s why I was asking if the order had been placed! 🙂

    RT @tammybutow: Are you a woman in Australia working with technology? Would love your photo and info by June 15! http://t.co/FHBtMC5i

    Persuading my female coworkers at @Sitback that we should send through pics for @tammybutow’s Women Role Models in IT project…

    @tammybutow You want individual pics, or should we do as a group? That might be fun. Think I can get maybe 4 of us together?

  • Cave People

    Ha. If I was ever going to put those stupid “My Family” stickers on a car, I’d definitely get a cavewoman for myself. Paleo FTW!
