Taking the English soundtrack from an old bootleg episode of Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea, and overlaying it on my French DVDs to get a nice looking if occasionally choppy English Dub.

This Week's Fancy Pants Meal: Honey Glazed Spareribs

This recipe is supposed to be from the Basque region, but I had to make a few substituions, so I don't know if that counts anymore. Try finding sherry vinegar and piment d'espolette out here in the valley....

Still good though. :9

# Honey-Glazed Spareribs

The Basque Kitchen
6.0 servings

4.0 pounds pork spareribs
kosher salt
0.75 cup honey
1.0 tsp smoked paprika (or piment d'espolette)
2.0 tsp rice wine vinegar (or sherry vinegar)
3.0 cloves garlic (minced)
1.0 tbsp black peppercorns (crushed)
1.0 tbsp corriander seed (crushed)

1 - Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F
2 - Line a large sheet pan with aluminum foil and lay the rack of ribs on top.
3 - Season both sides of the meat with salt.
4 - To prepare the glaze, combine the honey, smoked paprika, rice vinegar, garlic, peppercorns and corriander seeds in a small bowl. Mix together well.
5 - Slather the glaze over both sides of the meat and place the ribs into the oven to cook for 45 minutes, basting continuously.
6 - Turn the slab over and increase the heat to 425 degrees F.
7 - Cook for another 30 minutes, basting once or twice more, until the meat is cooked through and the glaze is dark brown.

The comal may be retired until the crack in it is repaired, but the molcajete is still a working heirloom. Crushing coriander seed for her fourth generation cook....

Decision paralysis....

Trying the "School Cafeteria Yeast Rolls" yet again. This time, instead of scaling them down to 15g carbs per roll (which is my "snack" amount of carbs), I scaled them to 36g, which is my full meal amount of carbs. Larger rolls. We'll see if they're still overly dry in the morning, but they look a lot more normal.

"My god, Bones. What have I done?"

These guys are gonna get a little break. They've been busy....

Rarely drive cause of the car starting to show its age, and lots of medications = cheap gas.

Trying a different take on not wasting ingredients since buying groceries for one is nigh on impossible.

That time Google decided that it was gonna show every Wikipedia language EXCEPT English.

Not shown: Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (which I also finished, with much cursing).

Silly Jenn Fact: When I was very very very little, I thought Doug Henning was Jesus.

Youtube? Salesforce? A 25m 16s advertisement is excessive.

I'm gonna tell my kids this was the Borg Queen.

So if Vera in Superman III is trans, then our villain, Ross Webster is the most trans-friendly character in the movie, never misgendering her, and calling her "Sis" the whole time.

So this movie was made in 1983. If it's 1000 times more powerful than the averan 1983 computer...that would be....multiply by 1024....carry the one....square of the hypotenuse....my phone is 3 million times more powerful than their supercomputer.

I mean, really...16 colors at 320x200? My phone is 16 million at 1920x1080. :)

Huh. The Superman III character in Vera is depicted as a transphobic trope and the recipent of transphobia throughout the movie. I wasn't expecting that from a movie in 1983. Especially as "comedy."

Which sucks, because she's the most capable character in the movie.

Jenn: "You know, Superman III isn't as bad as I remember it. There's some real heart here in the Smallville scenes. Maybe I'm just misremembering it all...oh."

Heh. I always thought she said "The Big Gay-pricot." I repeated the scene multiple times, and I hear it each time.
