  • Simply Recipes: Lasagna Bolognese Recipe
    It's the classic. Only thing missing is spinach noodles (this recipe calls for regular all-semolina ones).

    I (quite literally) laughed out loud for at least a minute after I saw this.

    ]]>     http://devlogic.org/2006/09/14/wtf-doesnt-quite-cover-this-one/feed/     Lost http://devlogic.org/2006/09/12/lost/ http://devlogic.org/2006/09/12/lost/#comments Tue, 12 Sep 2006 09:40:38 +0000 devlogic http://devlogic.org/2006/09/12/lost/ People "in the know", who are both familiar with my likes and personality, and who watch television, have said to me

    Paul, you would really like Lost. You should watch it.

    Now, I typically trust the opinions of these people; one of 'em is a very talented writer and the others usually hit the nail on the head in regards to what I might enjoy.
    So, I see that Lost is available on the iTunes store. Apple wants $1.99 an episode, for 320x240 DRM'ed video that I'll only be able to watch on my laptop. Seems like a lot when I can get the DVDs for $42.87 (that's season 1; season 3 is $35.99) on Amazon.
    But I digress. I'm in the process of downloading Season 1 of Lost. This isn't the first time I've had these episodes on my computer; about a year ago, before S2 started, I watched the first 3 or 4 episodes. It's good writing, so far as I remember, and as long as it doesn't start getting stupid like JJ Abrams' other show, I think I may stick with it. However, it appears that ABC is again pulling their "starts at 5 minutes after the hour" shit, so I'll likely never watch it off of TV, instead opting to download it. iTunes generally has the episodes pretty soon after they air, or should I desire, I know there are places that exist in a moral grey area that I could use to acquire the episodes as well.

    PS: note the ambiguity in some of what I wrote above. Curious, no?

    ]]>     http://devlogic.org/2006/09/12/lost/feed/     Whee, Cafe Press! http://devlogic.org/2006/09/11/whee-cafe-press/ http://devlogic.org/2006/09/11/whee-cafe-press/#comments Mon, 11 Sep 2006 07:35:45 +0000 devlogic http://devlogic.org/2006/09/11/whee-cafe-press/ So I was having a conversation with one of my employees this morning, and somehow things got a little philosophical:

    devlogic: the truth is never a lame excuse.
    employee: I'm gonna get a bumper sticker that says that
    devlogic: I should cafe press it and make megabucks
    employee: HA
    ...
    devlogic: http://www.cafepress.com/truthnotlame

    So there you go. If you want a bumper sticker or rectangular magnet (suitable for putting on a car door, tailgate, or refrigerator), hit up my new Café Press store.

    ]]>     http://devlogic.org/2006/09/11/whee-cafe-press/feed/     Hollandaise Sauce http://devlogic.org/2006/09/08/hollandaise-sauce/ http://devlogic.org/2006/09/08/hollandaise-sauce/#comments Fri, 08 Sep 2006 08:04:28 +0000 devlogic http://devlogic.org/2006/09/08/hollandaise-sauce/ So I made some Hollandaise sauce the other day. Aside from a bit of stiffness in my wrist from all the whisking, it's not actually that hard. I used the Good Eats recipe (from the episode Hitting the Sauce; try Google or GEFP for the actual details). Having done it the "easy" way, I'm curious as to how difficult it is to make the sauce in the traditional manner, with melted clarified butter instead of chilled knobs of butter. The traditional way is a bit more work (I hate clarifying butter, because it's such a pain in the ass when I try to get the solids separated out), but I think the texture will probably be a bit less "thick" on the tongue, and both more and less rich at the same time, if that makes sense.

    Of course, at about 3,000,000 weight watchers points per serving, it's not something I'm likely to enjoy again for a very long time, but it'll go in my bag of tricks for the next special occasion that's at breakfast-time.
