Yes.... Come in to the light... Err, dark, whatever... - Ha3rvey (not Akiva)
*rubs hands* - Micah Wittman
no say it ain't so - VAL D.
I drink coffee occasionally. It's good stuff but I can't imagine getting so into it that I'm having 6-7 cups a day or having 16 oz. lattes with four shots in them. - Akiva Moskovitz
Dear Santa: please bring Derrick a french press - aden (yeah you heard me)
Akiva, save it for the confessions room! - Micah Wittman
Try the cold brew method, Derrick. You'll love it even more. So much smoother when it's heated. - Christopher Harley
I've had a latte in the mornings since it's gotten cooler. I feel totally weird right now. I got it from a different place and I'm like BING BING BING. - Derrick
Once you start down the dark path, FOREVER WILL IT DOMINATE YOUR DESTINY! - mikepk
@_@ coffee buzzzzzz - Anna Haro
Does that make you drinkable? - Cristo
This particular coffee has me bouncing off the walls. Currently diluting self with lots of water. - Derrick
TOO LATE, LOVE. IT'S ALREADY IN YOUR BLOOD. - Akiva Moskovitz
Doesn't take much! - Katie: Whelmed Overly
You know that Youtube clip where the boy goes to the dentist? That's how I feel right now. - Derrick
Hehe I did the cold brew a while back... Made the mistake of using my normal blend ratio with milk to do an Iced Latte. I was shot off this planet like a rocket, so be careful with how much you use when cold brewing. Damn good tasting though! - Rasmus Lauridsen
Akiva Moskovitz
Audrey's favorite new game? Let's-open-a-kitchen-cabinet-and-pull-things-out. On the kitchen floor is currently a box of potato starch, two tins of tuna, some vegetable oil, and cupcake wrappers.
And now she's sneezing repeatedly; probably from the potato starch dust. She didn't realize that I was watching her. She was just chatting happily to herself as she peered into the darkness of the cabinet with a tin of tuna in one hand and a cupcake wrapper in the other. - Akiva Moskovitz
If only you had a camera - Matthew DeVries
Or access to some technology that would allow me to rapidly distribute a photo or video to a staggeringly large audience almost instantaneously. - Akiva Moskovitz
Oh, I remember those days! I locked all of the cabinets except the tupperware one :p Add a couple of wooden spoons and she'd have a party! - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
Yeah, we have a plethora of baby-proofing devices but just haven't had the time/inspiration to get it done. - Akiva Moskovitz
Tupperware was specifically designed for this stage of development. I realize that Tupperware isn't as commonplace as it once was, but let me tell you, it's perfect! Multiple sizes and colors, stackable, nestable and absolutely nothing is breakable or likely to cause owies. If you don't have Tupperware, any plastic ware, preferably of a nesting variety, should suffice. - Mark Jepsen
and to think we have spent tons of $$$$$$$ on toys........... - VAL D.
That's why we put all the bowls and stuff in the bottom cabinets. Our kids had hours of fun pulling out the plastic bowls and pounding on them with wooden spoons. - Jason Huebel
Yup, pots and pans in our bottom cabinets. Kid has a field day. - ronin
@Akiva, you don't baby-proof the bottom cabinets. You baby-FUN them. :-) She'll love you for it. - Jason Huebel
I loved that game. :) - Victor Ganata
She's just pointing out that you guys need some cupcakes in the house. (edit: preferably not made of tuna) - Yolanda
We're going to have to have to lock up the cupboards because even though they're safe (in that they contain things that are okay for her to play with), she gets her fingers in the door and then slams the door, pinching her fingers over and over. Then she screams. :/ - Rochelle
Poor beebee. Do not like. :( - Yolanda

Generation X is increasingly ‘whatever’ at work - Careers- msnbc.com
"They're antsy and edgy, tired of waiting for promotion opportunities at work as their elders put off retirement. A good number of them are just waiting for the economy to pick up so they can hop to the next job, find something more fulfilling and get what they think they deserve. Oh, and they want work-life balance, too. Sounds like Gen Y, the so-called "entitlement generation," right? Not necessarily, say people who track the generations. In these hard times, they're also hearing strong rumblings of discontent from Generation X. They're the 32- to 44-year-olds who are wedged between baby boomers and their children, often feeling like forgotten middle siblings — and increasingly restless at work as a result." - William Harryman from Bookmarklet
Even though I'm 30, I'm closer to X than Y. - Kamilah Gill
one of the annoying things, which they mention in the article, is that Gen Y is seen as more tech savvy than Gen X by the culture, employers, and the media, yet Gen Y are mostly users of tech, while gen X are the ones creating the technology - William Harryman

Whiskey company asks team to drill through Antarctic ice to find lost cache of vintage Scotch left on the rocks 100 years ago
 | Mail Online
"It's common knowledge that Scotch is best served ice cold. But this particular cache of vintage McKinlay is a little more chilled than originally planned. A whisky company has asked a team to drill through the Antarctic ice cap to find a lost cache of vintage Scotch that was left there nearly a century ago. The drillers will be trying to reach two crates of McKinlay and Co. whisky that were shipped to the Antarctic by British polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton as part of his abandoned 1909 expedition. Shackleton and his team might have been expected to drink every drop of whisky they could lay their hands on during the near-disastrous expedition - but somehow these two cases have apparently survived. Whyte & Mackay, the drinks group that now owns McKinlay and Co., wants to conduct a series of tests that could decide whether to relaunch the now-defunct Scotch." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

"Vampires have long been objects of fascination in history, literature and lore. With the Nov. 20 release of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," HBO's "True Blood" and their countless imitators, Americans are welcoming vampires into their homes again. Though many consider Transylvania to be the lair of vampirism, there's plenty of vampire culture right here. Whether you have just come out of the coffin or long thirsted for night life, these locations offer plenty of opportunities to explore the dark side." - RAPatton

"or the first time in four decades in the luxury-home business, executives at John Wieland builders are thinking the unthinkable: Maybe houses in the South don't really need a fireplace. They're also wondering whether new homes require 4,700 square feet of living space. Or private theaters with 100-inch screens. Or super-size-me foyers. As they draw up blueprints for the house of the post-recession future, builders are struggling to distinguish among what home buyers need, what they want and what they can live without -- Jacuzzi by Jacuzzi, butler's pantry by butler's pantry. "You have to keep taking things out until you hit a critical point where people reject your product," said Jeff Kingsfield, senior vice president of sales at Smyrna-based John Wieland Homes & Neighborhoods. It's an experiment brought on by necessity. " - RAPatton from Bookmarklet
"That has forced Wieland to design a new range of compact homes and reconsider everything that goes into them. Replacing tiled tubs with fiberglass units can slice $4,000 off of the house price. Skipping the fireplace can slash an additional $3,500. In its place, Wieland is trying out a media wall -- essentially a place to hang a big television, surrounded by shelves. Last year, Paula... more... - RAPatton
hopefully, this also means that homes are not stacked on top of each other in these developments, as opposed to building more because they are smaller and ending up on top of each other. :) - Carlos Ayala
Red Georgia clay. *sniffle* - cecily from iPhone
Hmph. Red dirt. I hated that stuff when I lived in Alabama. - Steven Perez
Somehow four bedrooms and skimping on everything else doesn't seem like right sizing to me. - Ed Millard
hee hee. that clay isn't just a georgia thing. north and south carolina have it too. my dad is not a fan. - tiffany
Personally I'd rather have a smaller house with fewer bedrooms, but still have all the other goodies. - Sparky, a big deal
I am with you, Sparky, but I live in a 3 bedroom ranch (I hate stairs). - RAPatton
Sparky, it depends on how many people live in the house. If you have a partner/wife/husband and 3 kids, reducing the number of bedrooms is more of an issue than if you live alone. - Rochelle
Rochelle - totally understood. That's why I said 'personally I'd rather have' - I'm a single guy, who at most will have a partner and a dog. For my needs a 2-3 bedroom house is PLENTY, and I'd rather focus the extra capitol on making the experience nicer for the 1-2 people who live in the house rather than spending money on adding extra space to the house I would never use. - Sparky, a big deal
Quit being such a transhumanist!!!!!!!! - Rochelle
:D - Rochelle
I realize most people are partnered up and/or married with some kidlets and pet, but as a single man, who might at most have a dog and a couple cats, I'd like a home that would fit my needs as well. I realize I'm in the minority, but HATH NOT A SINGLE MAN EYES? /Shakespeare - Derrick
Heh. I'm such a PNWer. My first thought was, "WOAH WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT DIRT". - Rochelle
*fist bump* to Derrick - Sparky, a big deal
And I like houses, as opposed to condos and townhouses. I NEED ME A BACKYARD FER GRILLING. And for a pup to run around. And a garden. And a pool. /highmaintenance - Derrick
What about a hot tub with a privacy screen? I think that's more important than the pool. #naughty - Sparky, a big deal
Yeah most of these houses are ridiculous. It's people trying to emulate what they see on tv as "rich" people having. - Andrizzle Gizzle
Sparky, privacy is not as fun. - Rochelle
If you met my neighbors you might disagree. Besides - who's to say I won't have a webcam in the privacy enclosure? - Sparky, a big deal
Because Tyler hates fun. - Rochelle
If you're single/kidless and can't imagine how you'd fill up three bedrooms, you need more hobbies. - Ken Sheppardson
Ken - I'm sure I *could* fill up three bedrooms, but why pay for bedrooms I don't need? It's a waste of money. - Sparky, a big deal
Yeah, I was half kidding, Sparky. I'm actually used to the San Francisco market, where anything more than about 600sqft + maybe 200 per person is a luxury and even a couple stretching out in 1200-1400 sqft is considered by some folks to be a little extravagant. - Ken Sheppardson

Omnomnomnomnom! Thanks to Robert for the first cookies that taste and look like real homemade cookies in 1.5 years!
RAPcookies.jpg
There were more, but I had 3 and Shawn had one before I could find the camera. :D - Alix Whitmire
So they were good? Did they crumble much in the mail? The gluten keeps the together so i had to do smaller sizes. If you have any suggestions, I am always looking to improve - RAPatton from iPhone
They were awesome! They came through the mail fine, no crumbling. They do crumble a little when you bite into them, but beyond flourless cake/quickbreads, I think all GF baked stuff does by nature. The size was great, IMO. - Alix Whitmire
Thanks for the feedback; the gluten free oatmeal blueberry one crumbled a bit to after first bite. I don't know what I can do about that, but I'll keep playing - RAPatton from iPhone
You could add more eggs, RAP, but that would definitely affect the texture. - Spidra Webster
I wonder if adding a bit of mild shredded cheese to the batter would help keep them from crumbling. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
That would change the taste and introduce concentrated casein - RAPatton from iPhone
Is casein a problem for those who have gluten issues? It's a different protein from a different source... - Spidra Webster
Many people who have issues with gluten also have trouble with casein; casein is the protien in milk, but you could go a goat cheese, which cause less issues - RAPatton from iPhone
Alix can have casein, I checked; the ones I sent her had a little - RAPatton from iPhone
Yep! Casein is okie for me. I have minor lactose issues if I go overboard, but they seem to be getting less and less the longer I'm GF. Peanut butter might help, but that'd be a different kind of cookie, then. :D I used to make (gluten) choco chip cookies with walnuts, choco chips and pb chips. I think casein is avoided in those avoiding gluten for neurological reasons vs. intestinal (celiac/GI)? - Alix Whitmire
In my experience they both can influence mental state, but casein in particular seems to amplify emotions (and also creativity) - RAPatton from iPhone
Robert's cookies are great! - Shey, Jamaican of FF
Thanks, Shey; your cookies had gluten, so they were a little different from these (different flour, cookie size, cooking time, and some xanthan gum) - RAPatton
All right, I don't normally care for cookies (except sandwich cookies) but these are great. I've eaten three of them already. - Akiva Moskovitz
I am glad you like them, Akiva. - RAPatton
Pretty much the first thing from Shawn tonight: "Can I haz a cookie?" :D - Alix Whitmire
Is he gluten free also? If he isn't tell him to go get his own ;) - RAPatton
Ha! He's not GF, but he did like them. :) - Alix Whitmire
Then I guess it is a form of support for your dietary restriction, as long as he doesn't support you to much and eat 'em all - RAPatton
I think it's more support for the yumminess of your cookies. A lot of my GF stuff he won't touch - it's either "too healthy" or "missing something... oh yeah, gluten". :D - Alix Whitmire
Ha! - RAPatton

"THIS month, New Orleans is having a party for the po’ boy. At the New Orleans Po-Boy Preservation Festival on Nov. 22, as brass bands play and celebrators hoist drinks, serious-minded panelists will tell tales of long-lost po’ boy shops. They will speak of the import of this city’s signature sandwich, piled with roast beef and gravy or corn-flour-breaded and fried shrimp, slathered with mayonnaise, paved with sliced pickles and sliced tomatoes, strewn with shredded lettuce, wrapped in butcher paper. Cooks, from restaurants as varied as Emeril’s and Jack Dempsey’s, will fry, stuff, dress and wrap for what is expected to be an overflow crowd. And in what organizers are calling a French Bread Fight, a combatant portraying Jared Fogle, the calorie-conscious Subway pitchman, will square off against a combatant representing John Gendusa, the baker who, in 1929, fashioned the first modern New Orleans-style, French bread loaf, the base on which po’ boys have since been built. If all goes the... more... - RAPatton
