    My SFBRP.com website is hacked, and being used to sell drugs. Which means I can't release my latest podcast episode on the feed.

    However, with a single post on twitter, and nothing on iTunes or the blog, my latest episode has had 446 dowloads in three days. And I only have 243 followers on twitter. I find this level of listener engagement quite remarkable.

    Yeah, when I want to order something that's going to be even worse for me since I'm not even a U.S. citizen and this address is for a few months...

    I aced my Atomic Theory test, 93%, best in my class and got me a solid level 7. BOOH YAH! Now I just need to survive the onslaught of Physics revision, Chemistry lab planning and English literary commentary on "The Heart of Darkness"

    I once used a double griddle as a hibachi and did this. You could see the rice jump and crack as it fried.

    The results were otherworldly. I recommend supplementing your oil with a chunk of butter. It adds depth and richness.

    If you're ever without something to put on rice. A knob of butter and a few dashes of soy sauce make it delicious and reduce it's healthy properties to safe levels.

    Hey, now. Saturated fat, salt, and glutamates aren't bad for you by nature. It's just when you play it American-style and load every thing five-by-five with them that your body starts screaming for mercy.

    You could clarify the butter and put ghee on rice to get rid of the fat in the cream. Ghee also might lower cholesterol...And you can make curry with it. Nom.

    It's actually not true. Pete forgets to ask for things when he is sick, so I have to constantly remind him that he wants tea.

    Clearly you all missed my Ramen note. Mmmm mmmm, Maruchan with Kraft Parmesan and hot sauce. And just a dash of a possible carcinogen, for that "just deep fried" taste!

    Why are instant foods the worst for you?

    This is why I constantly buy groceries. Our cupboards and pantry are fairly full of all kinds of food, as well as the fridge if there were ever an instance to where we're prevented or it's extremely inconvenient to go to the grocery store. Even though the nearest grocery store is half a mile away.

    Hope you get more food soon.

    Fail: Woke up to find a large puddle of water in my living room due to the fact that the water heater is leaking.
    Boo-ya: Nothing was really damaged except for the carpet. I get to stay home now because of it.

    I don't do this one one very good reason. I get bored of things. What I think it is a good idea one week, I have no interest in the next week. I bought that mac and cheese as a 4-pack months ago and I've only just now finished the last box.

    I will admit to this as well, but it's mostly when it comes to non-perishables. However, a month or two down the road, after completely forgetting about some food, I'll crave it, discover that I do have it. It's like a little surprise.

    That isn't evolution. Velveeta is worse than Kraft.

    Also, making homemade mac and cheese is crazy easy. Learning basic casserole and crockpot meals is a good step toward actually learning how to cook.

    I like Naan Dogs - Hot dogs wrapped in Naan, with Spicy Potato and Peas Curry on top. It's like the Indian version of a chili-dog. A little squeeze of Japanese Mayo is optional.
