Friends Only
I've tried to overcome my addiction to the , but there's no use trying anymore. Every time I try to hit Public I get visions of men in black dragging me into their helicopter.

Add me and if I know you I'll add you back. If I don't, comment and I'll add you back anyway. I just get freaked out by people hanging out on my friends of list who have never said anything to me at all.

Forever Falling

A friend sent me a text the other day asking for a new digital mix. I told him it would take about a week (I really think about these things far too much) but I've been carrying around a notebook for the last couple of days, adding and removing tracks and changing the order as needed. This is what I ended up with:

02) Conor Oberst & The Mystic Valley Band - Air Mattress
03) The Mountain Goats - Cotton
04) Hello Saferide - The Quiz
05) Monsters of Folk - Man Named Truth

Seasoned Barbecue Fries

super mellie
Ingredients:
4 potatoes
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. cayenne
1/2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper


1) Scrub your potatoes and cut them into fries
2) In a bowl, mix together the olive oil and seasonings. Transfer the fries to the bowl and coat them with the seasoned olive oil.
3) Spread the fries over a grilling grid and grill until golden brown.

While the fries are grilling, prepare garlic mayonnaise:

Ingredients:
1/2 c. vegenaise
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp. Braggs

In a small bowl, mix together the vegenaise, garlic, and Braggs.

I also served them with homemade barbecue sauce, goddess dressing, and ranch for the husband. Two thumbs up for impromptu barbecue!

Everything sucks, but I wrote a haiku about my lunch today:

I love falafel.
It is moist and delicious
when dipped in hummus.

Medicine Cabinets

super mellie
A post that was featured on stupid_free got me thinking about this. I did a poll of co-workers and was surprised by the results. So I devised this little anonymous poll, let's hear it!

Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: None, participants: 7

Do you snoop in medicine cabinets?

What would people find out about you if they looked in your medicine cabinet?

Have you ever found anything that shocked/surprised you while looking through someone else's cabinet?
