I normally try to ignore holidays like this. This is a particularly bad year though - for the 1st time, all three of my siblings and all my adult cousins are married. I think I have only one local friend not in a long-term relationship. And i have ben doctor-ordered to cut back on the fatty...

My 14th consecutive Valentine's Day alone. Anybody else hate this day? Especially hard for those of us handicapped, chronically ill, and/or in chronic pain. (Of course being tubby and bald is not an aid, either). Why has this Catholic saint's day been turned into a universal bummer for the...

Deadpool news - TJ Miller is officially on-board, still no role disclosed. And some female MMA fighter will be playing the Morlock Angel Dust. Odd choice, since as far as I know I've read every Deadpool, Deadpool & Cable, etc, and Poolio never interacted with her, but there you go...

If you get a chance, get some Ingrid - my fave indica. Only available at Wellspring Collective right now (http://www.leafly.com/dispensary-info/wellspring-collective). So popular, it is the only strain I have seen sell completely out, even the display case buds.

This is only secondarily comic book related, but not sure where else to put it. Michael Moorcock's Elric looks to be finally coming to TV, that is according to the author himself. Apparently one of the people behind Walking Dead (which IS from a comic) is involved. As some may know, Elric has...

I can recommend some truly excellent restaurants- been out there repeatedly researching the restaurant market. Two of the best are The Plimoth in Denver and Cafe Prague in Morrison. Also, if it's your first time, there is a tendency to overpurchase. SO buy less than you really want to, at...

Marvel gets to use Spiderman (one assumes in Captain America: Civil War) and Feige to co-produce next Sony Spiderman films- http://marvel.com/news/movies/24062/sony_pictures_entertainment_brings_marvel_studios_into_the_amazing_world_of_spider-man A strangely mixed response to this in the fan...

Used the last of the leftovers from last week on Saturday and realized i never posted it. This is a plateful of almost the same pasta I did last Sunday. Difference is this is with linguine, as it turned out I'd left my fettuccine cutter at my brother's house. Note the fractally honking chunk...

So the thing Sunday night went well. This is what the table looked like - though the pasta was decimated so quickly I never got a shot of a full bowl of it. It's way on the right and a bit hard to see, the tofu with arugula and spinach plated especially prettily. I ate almost none of any of...

It jus keeps coming....today we have the 1st Fantastic Four trailer. Unlike a lot of people, I have no issue at all with John and Sue Storm being played by people of different races. I am from a multi-racial family myself. I have a cousin who is Vietnamese but her siblings are not. I have a...

With the exception of Deadpool, I prefer the older stuff as well. But Marvel may be undoing all their previous continuity. So as far as the characters are concerned the older stuff may not have "happened".

NERDGASM!!!! 10th Doctor, David Tennant, will be the Purple Man (Kilgrave) in the Jessica Jones thing on Netflix. And one presumes in the other titles as well, as Purple Man was originally a foe of DareDevil and has gone up against Luke Cage. Cannot wait for Tennant as such a creepy bad guy...

So what do folks think of this X-men casting news? Another light-skinned Storm. On the other hand, I've never seen the dude cast as the young Cyclops in anything, but at least in the pic in the article, he looks kind of like a dick. Which works, cuz IMO Cyclops has always been sort of a dick...

The boston butts turned out especially pretty. A productive day overall-smoked tofu, duckfat buttermilk biscuits, the sous vide and smoked lamb shanks, boston butts, a half a side of bacon, and a cranberry bbq sauce. Tomorrow- fresh pasta for 25-30 people, so 12-14 lbs or so, more biscuits...

Yeah, I gotta switch to lower cal cooking. Been talking to the doctor about weight loss. Still can't do any exercise outside of a pool and don't have access to a pool. But when this catering thing is done, it's time for smoked turkey and smoked veggies in fat-free wine reductions. Here's one...

Yup. Was almost exactly three hours. Thanks!

Anyone know how long it should take the battery in the Air to charge? Been a couple hours and the light is still blinking. I know I've gotten spoiled by the fast charge li-ions in my phone, laptop and tablet.

Mine came from puffitup today. Very fast shipping, and charged and useable out of the box. So far, feels like the vaoe is every bit as good as out of my solos, and unlike my original Solo, no funky flavor. Digging the shorter, more pocket-friendly stems. It'll be my vape all day tomorrow at...

The sauce was the whole point of this one. The bulk of it is a bacon demi I spent two days cooking, and I finally got the recipe for that perfect. The difference is this time I sliced all 5 pounds of bacon and browned each slice in the stock pot. Took an extra 90 minutes or so, but the result...

Twin Peaks was shot in North Bend and Snoqualmie. However, if you pay close attention to the relative locations of Twin Peaks and One Eyed Jack's (which is over the border in Canada) the fictional town is actually farther north. Like maybe in the northern Snoqualmie forest. [Note: My sister...
