Crispy Roasted Asparagus
SimplyRecipe’s Creamy Polenta (this is me vouching so hard for this one: VOUUUUCHING)
Ideally, pair the polenta with Daniel Boulud’s totally awesome short ribs
(and skip the celery duo for some butternut squash)

I just talked my way out of a speeding ticket for going 83 in a 50. How?
1. Point out to the trooper that your car’s speedometer is in metric. It’s not true, but he bought it.
2. Do it in French.
3. Don’t be drunk at 2:45pm, which is rare for me.
Louisiana State Police, FTW!
Hey, Eboni Stevens of Dallas, Texas!
You used my bank account information to pay your electric bill. You’re a shitty person. Can I have my $300 back please? I was going to buy alcohol and fireworks today.
Thanks for ruining my New Year’s celebration!
(USAA, you guys aren’t helping much, either.)

allthiscanbeyours is right. we are programmed to hate america. i was pleasantly surprised that you guys were not all obese gas-guzzling hicks who said “y’all” every other word.
now if only all americans knew that 99.9% of canada does not live in an igloo, ride a dogsled team to work, survive solely off caribou meat or actually think a toque and snowsuit is a fashion statement, i’d...

Hey, um, BlackBerry users...
If my Browser icon randomly disappears off of the main screen, how do I get it back? It’s still installed and everything (it shows up under Options > Advanced Options > Applications), but no alias or whatever.
I really don’t want to take this to the Verizon store and all of the baggage that comes with, so I’m turning to you internet electronic experts you.
Thx!

I should drink a wee less scotch and up my weed intake from “zero” to “getting stoned on a slightly regular basis”. I’ve thought this plan out. It’s a good plan. I think I would be a less moody person or whatev. Good plan.

Thoughts on Kris Kross
1. I always liked Daddy Mac more than Mac Daddy.
2. Please don’t tell me I was the only kid that put his clothes on backwards only to realise that you have to wear really baggy clothes to pull it off, but you know, still rolled with it.
3. Number two, but on a trampoline imitating their dance moves and rapping.
4. They were Atlanta natives but wore New York sports clothing...

Go two blocks down to a real Mexican joint where the menu is in Spanish and there are four different kinds of salsa.
And if you live in a small town that doesn’t have said Mexican places: Get out of there!

Le Pirate d'Hochelaga-Maisonneuve
Dear Diary,
Today I was so absolutely bored that I cooked up a tourtière du Lac-Saint-Jean and a large pot of rabbit stew. There’s no photo evidence because the entire meal is in my stomach.
Then I found five dollars and Tumbled about it.

How New Orleans-y is The Curious Case of Benjamin Button? I’m extremely undecided on whether or not to see it, and the balance between an authentic depiction or an OMG LEVEES AND GUMBO Y’ALL version is the deciding factor.

Top 10 Songs NOT to Make Love To

The end of the year is filled with lists. Best movies, best albums, whatever. I’ve compiled a different list. While I’m certainly not the world’s greatest lothario, I do know a think or two about a thing or two. One of those two things I know about is music. While not someone who turns on the Barry White to get my woman in the mood, I do know that there are certain songs which...

Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Best chain restaurant in the DC metro area.
Yeah. But it still ranks below an average burger shack out west.
Elevation Burger in Falls Church isn’t bad either.
