Yelping with Cormac
November 7th, 2011
This lovely blog features Yelp reviews in the spirit of Cormac McCarthy.
He pulled another cold french fry from the greasestained Happy Meal box. He ate it slowly. The sun rising behind him over the limestone bluffs. The barren valley and the road winding through it still in morning’s blue shadow. He wiped his hand on his jacket and checked the breech of the big Weatherby. Bullet as long as man’s finger sitting there. He lay down on the blanket, the rifle’s barrel resting on the saddlebag, and glassed downcountry with the telescopic sight. The dusty road was empty. He waited.
RFC 2324
February 12th, 2011
RFC 2324 defines the Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol. HTCPCP is built on top of HTTP, implementing a range of new headers and errors (418 I’M A TEAPOT) that enable the intercommunication of networked coffee pots. Manufacturers, take note — standards-compliance grows the market.

Veganomicon
July 7th, 2010
I finally caved and purchased a copy of the Veganomicon. I think I may actually like this cookbook more than Moosewood Restaurant Cooks At Home, which is saying something.
Today was pineapple-cashew-quinoa stir-fry. Delicious. Someone less lazy than myself posted the recipe, complete with pictures. You should go make it.
Battle: Hummus
May 8th, 2010
I can’t write a better summary than that of the BBC article:
Lebanon has claimed the latest victory in the continuing battle with Israel over which country can make the largest serving of hummus.
Lebanon’s in the lead after cooking up a 10-ton vat. The Middle East needs more of this kind of conflict.
