THIS IS REAL, PEOPLE. I AM RELATED TO THIS BEBBY!

06:19 pm - pizza in the samwidge press!

hey! a while ago I discovered that a pizza can be cooked in the samwidge press (or "the squasher" as we call it).... but in this case, there is no squashing, as the squasher has a few "no squashing" settings... check it out!







YUM!!

ha! coaxial space.

This has to be my favourite trek-ism of all times. I want to make up a tshirt that has a big television screen, with a picture of Chakotay that reads "SEE YOU IN COAXIAL SPACE".

Anybody who wishes to make this tshirt for me is most welcome.

Speaking of coaxial space, Vern and Garyann are very greedy in this area.

in case you haven't heard, egg slicers may also be used for slicing the airwaves with creepy sounds!

...and silly videos!

10:48 am - give it a little bit of vitriol

stu posted this on his blog... omg, is this woman really as serious about this as she seems?

BAHA!





In other news, here's Bluejuice in Pitt Street Mall, 2007...


Also... why have I gone so long without an egg slicer? Egg slicers are the thing which is good.

08:40 am - kazzibee handy hint time

Today's excellent ingredient is: cat litter crystals. The reason why they are excellent is that they are exactly the same thing as more expensive products that are just called different things... room dehumidifier.... plant wetter.... etc. etc. etc....

Today's EXCELLENT idea from kazzibee is a new way to keep mould out of your toothbrush holder....

If you place an inch or so of the crystals into the bottom of your toothbrush container... and a separating, holey sheet of plastic fitted into it, onto which the toothbrushes etc stand... you will FINALLY BE FREE OF TOOTHBRUSH MOULDINESS!. I'm also thinking you could put the crystals in the bottom of an orange bag and put that in the bottom of the toothbrush holder, as long as the holes are small enough.

Every now and then you can just change the crystals, clean the container and do it all again, if you wish. It really lasts for ages, so I don't actually know when it NEEDS to be changed... i just change it every few months.

Here's ours...


See... no mould! (and some of these toofbrushes* used to have mould on them)...




I put enough crystals so that the girth of the container is a close match to the girth of the bit of holey plastic.




Please note that my bit of holey plastic is part of something I found at a $2 shop... but you could use anything... maybe a piece of ice cream lid, cut to shape and with round holes melted into it.

*As we all know, toofbrushes is a word.

YUM.

10:43 am - dr seuss update

ok, so there is a theme lately, with the dr seuss books.

since "If I Ran the Circus" entered my line of sight, I have also randomly caught glimpses of the following titles:

Green Eggs and Ham

The Cat in the Hat

I would like to note that these sighting are all in different places... not on the same shelf of the same store!

Why am I suddently so tuned into Dr Seuss books?

06:52 pm - YES they're making lists of people interested in this

I really like Cog!

02:08 pm - kazzibee handy hint time

Hi there practical peoples,

Do you store your spare sewing needles by threading them into a piece of paper or cardboard... only to find that over time, the paper or carboard gets all holey and eventually useless and floppy, just like this picture?...



HERE'S THE SOLUTION!...

First of all, you need a small piece of neoprene... you can get this from a beer cooler or something else made of neoprene, or maybe you just have a small piece of neoprene lying around....



Once you have yourself a small piece of neoprene, just do this with it!....




VOILA!


go crazy withit.... the darn thing'll last for ages!

haha darn. :D

09:51 am

soon they'll call it OHNOPUPU!

07:33 pm

Every now and then a passing 303 bus reminds me that we have here in Sydney a suburb named "San Souci", which I think is a most excellent name.... and sometimes I wonder if the people who live in San Souci are relaxed and unstressed due to a miracle of association.

Here's a picture of what you might see if you visited San Souci... not bad!

Apparently we have reached the phase of the swine flu where a great portion of the population is shoving garlic into every orifice of their bodies and therefore getting mighty stinky.

It's either that or today was "International Stink Like Garlic Day".

Honestly, everywhere I went today was marinated in a garlicky mist... I SWEAR.

And I swore.

===========

Also, tonight while I was picking up a few things at Woolworths, I glimpsed Dr Seuss's "If I Ran the Circus" on the shelf and I am compelled to mention it now.

11:20 pm

Review of movie Doubt: (1) good viewing and (2) crazygoodtwistage. I'm not sure if there is one thing this film is supposed to be about, but for me the things that come to mind are "resistance to change" and "suspicion". Doubt is an excellent title for it.

Hey I just learned that "Meryl" in Streep's case stands for "Mary Louise".

07:39 am - yekin put the phone uhp to his mouth and he moves his leeups

G'NAHT PATCHIZ.

11:29 am - i want to hear you say delicious

Nicky showed me a recipe book by Harumi Kurihara, called Harumi's Japanese Home Cooking.

I agree with this....

"It's what I always say at my special events: 'Look for a low level of happiness, not [something] too high,'" she says. "There are lots of little happinesses to be found in everyday life."

Also, I like the title of one of her cookbooks "Gochisousama Kikitakute" which translated ostensibly means "I want to hear you say delicious".

The recipe that Nicky recommended is the Pork with Aromatic Vegetables... and the Ginger Pork looks good too.

The format of this book is like the Italian one "The Silver Spoon", where each recipe can be a meal in itself or just a component of a larger production.

In other news "mixer tap" on twitter brings up 5 results.

really, it's about time "use your flippers to get down" was the catch phrase of something...

11:58 am - gracie at the beach!
