Creme Anglaise + Brioche Loaf = French Love Toast
sergeeats:
How many possible ways can I say “holy f@$&ing sh!t!!!!! This is the best damn ________ I’ve ever had????” The bottom line is that there are a finite amount of adjectives for the word incredibly-freaking-good and I may have exhausted them all. This is another one of my posts where I’m going to let the photos speak for the food.
What we have here is the French toast that’s...
Avec Eric - Merci
sergeeats:
I recently came across Eric Ripert’s website - AvecEric.com. After skimming through the first few pages of posts, I clicked on the Video link and was taken to a virtual treasure trove of simple, delicious and easy to follow recipes.
When I say easy to follow - I mean EASY TO FREAKING FOLLOW. All the recipes in his videos are centered around a primary ingredient (salmon, chicken,...

Saturday
I’ve had an incredible Saturday already and it’s not even 1:30pm.
I awoke with some stiffness in my neck so I made the pain go away with a helping of frozen Smirnoff. Now I just finished brunch at Ssam Momofuku and I’m following up with a strawberry cereal milk with chocolate donut ice cream at Momofuku Milk bar. Saturdays are good.

Dear Utah
Your snow is the finest, fluffiest, freshest powder on planet earth. Your roads are beautiful. Your airport is spotless. The people are welcoming and charming.
So why is it so hard to find a decent bagel or slice of pizza in this state?
First thing I eat when I get back to NYC will be a slice of Joes pizza and a bagel from Bagel Bobs. Can’t wait.
See you in a while
I’m hoofing it out west for a final bit of storm chasing. Regular updates to follow next week. Till then EAT!
Big trouble in little internet.

Oh, the Days of Inanity. Big changes are afoot. Mary is leaving, JA got fired, and Meghan is still trying to win friends and influence people. Onward with bulleting goodness:
Our Handmaiden of Passive Aggression:
Big news is that, according to Gawker, who got a tip about a drunken confession from Our Lady of Introspection (who never drinks, ever), Mary is...
Lordy, lordy, look who turned......

We’re in lean times, folks, and lean times call for ribbed, bulleted, and linked pleasures.
Our Lady of Introspection:
You know how she claims to be friends with all of her exes? Except for that one whose confidences she betrayed on Gawker. And that one who does video games who broke up with her in spectacular public fashion. And now, the most recent one who didn’t want to be...

Yes we can.
baugher:
Our Lady of Introspection: Imagine that you get the opportunity to witness the inauguration of the 44th president, and because you once fancied yourself a journalist at a DC university, you think you have some bona fides. Your mother was a speechwriter, and because you once tactlessly blogged about shagging a politician and once met Obama at a BBQ, you think you could have been one,...
lovely video of what Hamas does to its own fellow... →
why is this not in the mainstream news?
why aren’t people protesting against hamas?
why aren’t fellow muslims denouncing hamas and its actions?
interesting.
Feliz Nuevo Ano
baugher:
Christ, a new year and yet, we are still here. Parsing the stupidity. It kind of feels like recapping American Idol, doesn’t it? We all know how this works out - the most packaged person wins, except they don’t, and are never heard from again until the VH-1 special about one hit wonders hits the airwaves.
Confession - I have started to love Mary. It may be Stockholm Syndrome (I...

well it’s about time!
baugher:
Given all that we have been through, I have to believe that none of you are still actually reading the collective musings of Our Lady of Introspection and her Handmaidens. They jumped the shark, the couch, and anything else they could name drop on their way to another photoshoot for another publication you have never heard of and will never buy.

i'm on vacation
see you guys in mid-august. there’s beer in the fridge and the dog needs to be fed twice a day.
we have no a/c in our office today
it’s not working. in fact it hasn’t been working for a week but at least we had a window unit that kept us arrid and cool. but today, even the window unit has failed us. and it’s 100 skanky degrees out in new york. help me. help us.
my testicles feel like a honeydew melon that’s been sitting in the sun for a week. help me. help my testicles.
is there a law...
just don't look
this is my favorite line from kottke’s rant against JA and her dalliance of nitwits:
If you don’t like who’s on the cover of Wired, just don’t look. If no one talks about her, she’ll go away. Think media gossip sites are ruining the web? Don’t read them….
…If some Web 2.0 blowhard says something stupid, just don’t look. Hate blonde socialites?...
i just had a vision
imagine this if you will.
coed near-naked softball!!!!
who can resist playing softball? and who wouldn’t want to play in just their underwear with sneakers and socks only. no shirts. no leggings. boxers, briefs, thongs and bras. whatever you’re comfortable in.
a field full of guys and gals pitching and sweating and batting and running and damn, i’m getting all worked...
the best and the worst
engadget has a pretty decent summary of the best and worst of the newly released iPhone apps.
among their best are Remote (lets your iPhone remotely control your iTunes library or Apple TV), CityTransit (NYC Subway map), Twittelator (twitter! duh!), and Ms. Pac Man. I plan on getting all of the above.
their worst includes AIM Chat. i’m a little surprised by this. i was looking forward...
it's here!!!!

cool apps
over at kottke.org, jason is compiling a list of “cool, must-have” iPhone apps. being that there’s already over 27 pages of apps on iTunes, it’d be good to know which ones are cool without having to sort thru all those pages.
link here.
they're heeeeeeeeere.....
apple’s iphono apps store went live yesterday. you can buy and download the apps but the ability to put em on ur iphone isn’t here yet. that will be available on friday when the new 3g iphone drops as well as the latest iphone firmware.
here’s a link to all iphone apps and here’s a link to all free iphone apps. i’m excited.
i'm not proud of it
by any means.
i’ve spent way too many nights muddled in the bar above. a more honest way of putting it would be: i’ve lost way too many nights of my life muddled in the bar above. oh what the fuck. it’s the new logo. i care naught how it makes you feel.
“I thought it would be fun to do it in the tub,” she said. “Sadly I almost killed him. While Verne was watching TV I ran the bath, emptied a bottle of bubbles in it and called him in. But the bubbles were so thick and high that once he climbed in he got lost under the water and I couldn’t see him.”
nice, but how do u get it to notify you?
google just announced that their jabber based IM client is available via web app for the iPhone. awesome!!! i’m loving it.
but i noticed that when you are getting a google talk IM, your iPhone does not notify you that you have a new IM. only way to check is by manually going to the web app. sort of makes no sense without having a notification system built in. if i overlooked it, please...
NY Rangers commit suicide
Instead of dealing Jagr, they didn’t deal Avery. No. What I mean is they just let him go. Gone. Avery. Heart and soul of the Rangers 2007-08 season. Gone. Just like that. The Dallas Stars signed him to a 4 year $15M contract.
And why? I have no freaking idea. I’m really pissed about this. Sather, wtf are you thinking?
You don’t see humans interacting in a way that takes you off guard and makes you smile. You see a guy taking a shit on the sidewalk.
good news out of cali
from laist.com:
There is an initiative in the works that could end up on the November ballot that allows for marijuana to be sold to anyone, and anywhere that already sells alcohol. Its being called The Inalienable Rights Enforcement Initiative. From the full text of the measure:
This initiative will amend the Constitution of California to defend and safeguard the inalienable rights of the People...

how do you say? wtf!!!!!!
i had kind of a horrific dream last night. it may explain why i slept like shit and feel like merde at work today. the fact that i started drinking jameson’s and smithwick’s at 2pm yesterday probably has nothing to do with my squalid state right now….
so, back to the horrific dream.
i think i was banging a girl. or maybe not. but my penis was the focal point of all that...
i want to puke just from watching this
this is the baddest, gnarliest, steepest, corkscrewiest roller coaster in the country. just looking at this wormy constrictor makes me want to yak. it’s called Fahrenheit and is located in hershey, pa. here’s what coaster-net.com has to say:
Fahrenheit will feature 121-foot tall lift hill that propels the three car, 12-passenger trains up to the sky at a 90-degree angle. Riders...
