Actually this stuff is pretty exciting to me as to how cheap it was for good quality stuff. Of course, you take the brand names and the big showroom away and you get decent quality stuff for less than the big box stores. Plus, I like to cook. I'd cook elaborate meals every day if my fiancee washed all the dishes.

Restaurant Supply haul! TONS of parchment paper A new thermometer as a family member absconded mine a paring knife to replace my chinsy old ones. a cheap bread knife and some more boring stuff like a bowl scraper (lost my free one) and tongs and stuff ... On a side note, I almost bought a big-ass Chinese cleaver for when I cut up chickens but my fiancee talked me out of it. I think she was afraid I'd cut my hand off or something ...

AWESOME game. Enjoy it!

My thoughts exactly. The 3DS just went from "nice to get someday" to "On my list of planning to buy soon." I wonder what the Dsi and XL will go down to. I kind of wish the 3DS had the XL's screen size but I can live with the bigger than DS Lite size of the 3DS.

That goes double for me. ;; I wonder how long before IGN declares this as a game for pedophiles?

Bought this as well for lower than the average price.

Got mine. Not sure if I'll download them on my Windows install or my Linux install. I assume you can do both, right?

Kirby's Dream Land. I never played this version as I never had a Game Boy growing up (my first GB was a GB pocket when I was in high school) and by then I just never seemed to pick up Kirby's Dream Land. My fiancee owned it and since our collections are now merged I acquired the cart of this game. Annoyingly enough, there's no save on this so you have to play it all in one sitting. There is a continue but I never had to use it. It was super easy and actually since my first Kirby game was the fantastic Kirby's Adventure, Dream Land comes across as a rather bland start to the series. Is Dream Land 2 worth hunting down? On a side note, I really need to organize my GB/GBC games better.

I got this for the bedroom TV (which is an old CRT so I'm not worried about quality) and since my Prime Membership allows me to stream Amazon now I'm excited about being able to stream episodes of Mister Rogers Neighborhood. Well, that and I'm excited to be able to stream stuff without my laptop while my fiancee watches her dumb reality shows.

What is so gross about maple syrup? Maple syrup is awesome on everything! I put maple syrup on vanilla ice cream.

I believe streaky bacon (or belly bacon) is the closest to American bacon but IIRC it's not cured the same way but I'm not a British butcher. I am fairly sure that the French simply salt it and use it as Salt Pork (or Lardon.) Fun fact: During the American Civil War the Union soldiers were given rations of Salt Pork and hard tack (aka Sea Biscuits when they are round and on a ship)

And pork chops are delicious too. I'm French: we eat everything on the pig except the oink.

BLASPHEMER! BURN HIM! I love tea, I couldn't go a day without drinking a cup. It can take a while to find the type or even the strength of tea you like but once you find it, you'll love it. Also, tea tip: Substitute sugar for honey, it's delicious. Tea is like coffee in that everyone tells me you need to get a taste for it. Why would I get a taste for something bitter that has to be consumed with large amounts of sugar (well, I'd have to use Splenda) in order to make it palatable? Speaking of tastes and flavors: Bacon In America bacon is taken from the pork belly and is smoke cured (usually with hickory or maple wood or even corn-cobs. This bacon is higher in fat yet is quite delicious. If the only edible meat on a pig was belly bacon, they'd still be worth raising and slaughtering. In the UK and other parts of Europe, bacon refers to the relatively lean part taken from the loin. We in America tend to use the pork loin more for things like pork chops and pork roasts (When we live "high on the hog" that is ) In America we have this as "Canadian Bacon" which is odd since Canadians eat a lot of American style bacon (they call so-called Canadian Bacon "Back Bacon")

Tea is just fucking gross. That's the end of the story. I've had different varieties all made by people who knew how. I drink tea if I'm sick for the same reason I take Tussin.

Last night I beat Sexy Parodius. It certainly was bizarre but I was expected a more difficult game. Oh well. I liked it just the same. For those wondering, I played as Hiraku:
