This Week's Meals: (1/3): Chippewa Wild Rice and Eggs.

I used 15 eggs in this recipe and cooked in three batches with my largest skillet. It's a really good omlette. And really thick. :D

Dear cook book writers.

Please please PLEASE do not separate your cooking instructions. I nearly forgot to make the rice because you separated those instructions from the rest of the instructions.

This weekend's Shortwave Contacts. Yes, Jenn is on her Shortwave shit again. The greener, the stronger, the redder, the weaker.

Picked up my very first Shortwave Pirate Station, B Side Radio on 6935kHz. Strongest signal I've gotten since I restarted the Shortwave, and some good music to boot.

I'm gonna be rich, I tells ya! RICH!

When using an OCR to scan in a recipe, remember to go over it just to make sure everything's good.

Remember the days when they'd straight up hand out the cocaine directly to the hosts, the acts and the television studio audience? Good times.

So this week's meals are coming from an American Native cookbook I picked up a few years ago, and while I got some good things I'm gonna make (BANNOCK!), I'm surprised there's just one Comanche recipe (for fried frog's legs) in the whole book.

Also, do you know how hard it is to find boots in #secondlife that aren't six inch heel silettos?! Holy crap, I went through pages and pages of those to find some sensible ones.

"Oh, that's a cute outfit Iluminaughtii is wearing. I've always liked the oversized sweater and leggings look, but I just look a circus tent in them....but what if Digital Jenn wore it?"

::five minutes and $250 Linden Dollars later::

"Oh. That's cute. THAT'S REAL CUTE."

"Now remember when we said there was 'No Future?' Well...this is it."

"What's THAT?"
"It's a book!"
"Well, what's THAT?"
"It's a non volatile storage medium. It's very rare, you should have one!"
"Stuff it!"
