Sitting here at whole foods bistro waiting for my yummy mac and cheese, browsing google newsreader using the free wifi they provide. First, i see this:
K, fine. So I click through to the linked youtube channel, and see this:
Lame job, whole foods. I’m not exactly trying to download blu-ray here.
Just last night I “ran” home from work, “ran” around my house to find my driver’s license and bank card which had gone missing, then “ran” outside to catch a cab to go meet friends. I can attest to the fact that the three beers I had helped me recover.
Whatever. Cut the middleman out.

In a rare piece of good news for those who like a pint, Spanish researchers say beer can help someone who is dehydrated retain liquid better than water.
Prof Manuel Garzon, of Granada University, also claimed the bubbles in beer help to quench the thirst and that its carbohydrate content can help to replace lost calories. (Read More)
I went to dim sum with a friend last weekend at Koi Palace in Daly City. They were having a “dragon beard candy show,” where a candy chef stands behind glass and makes this yummy treat.
He started with a golden glob of stuff which turned out to be inverted sugar. He rolled it into a perfect ball, flattened it a bit, then poked a hole through the middle. It was the same shape and size as a clear golden donut.
Next he rolled it in a tray of rice flour to keep it from getting sticky and pulled the stretched the donut gently all the way around till there was a uniform loop of about 12 inches. He doubled the loop up, spread some flour and continued the process several times until he had something resembling a loop of angel hair (the christmas decoration, not the pasta).
He then proceeded to pull strands out, put some crushed peanuts and sesame seeds on a bit of the strands and roll it all up into a nifty little package.
It does indeed look like hair, and was delighted when my friend ate a piece and ended up with strands of sugar trailing out her mouth resembling… a dragon’s beard.

Sphere: Related ContentAn update to my beer-meets-phone-and-camera incident at Harris Restaurant -
Indeed over the past few days my phone has gone wonky. No power issues yet, but the keypad is nasty — all the buttons make horrible sucking/sticky noises now and it smells like the floor of a bar. Yum.
I called Harris today and spoke to the general manager who was also very apologetic over the matter and was happy to send a check right over. I emphasized that I will hope that there are no major repercussions from a genuine accident that had been handled beautifully by the wait staff.
I’ve already ordered my new phone - a RAZR - and he was happy to cut a check for somewhere around 1/2 the price. A good deal for us all.
