I am feeling under the weather today, so I called in sick to work. Instead of being at work, I had a tasty lunch of carnitas at Casa Modera, with freshly made corn tortillas, it was really good and all for $9 including drink.
Then I saw Juno, I think there were maybe 6 people in the movie theatre. It was really funny and they're all hella sarcastic and total smartasses. Juno's parents are really awesome.
Came home to finish watching the bonus materials on All That Jazz, RIP Roy Scheider.
Took a nap.
I wasted the rest of my day surfing the web. Even though his music is really gay, that John Mayer guy is really funny, have you seen the "Two Guys One Cup" video? Here's another video he linked to in his blog, I think it's a Phillipino show called Weng Weng, it's a drawf crime fighter who is a cross between the martial arts bad assery of Jackie Chan and the suave technigadgetriness of James Bond. This little guy sure gets a lot of pussy. And the song accompanying this video is awesome:
There's a guy who invented a vending machine that will dispense peanuts if crows deposit shiny metal things (trash). Crows are really smart and they do some kooky things.
This is the cutest and coolest thing I've seen today:
What's your favorite kind of homemade cookie? Share the recipe if you have it.
I like shortbread and mexican wedding cookies. So buttery and good.
Which foods do you eat a lot of? Too much of?

I eat a lot of packaged ramen noodles. It's pretty unhealthy, but it's really tasty and filling when you're in a bind for time or money. These are the ones that I eat most often:
Mama Tom Yum noodles - I buy these by the case. Spicy and sour.
Rice vermicelli, fried shallot flavor
Beef stew flavor, spicy
Beef stew flavor, spicy, Tung-I brand
Pork rib and chicken flavor
Sesame oil and chicken flavor
And there are some other ones I can't find pictures of on the web.
A slideshow of families around the world and what they eat in the course of a week:

While I like all the fish that the Japanese family eats, they seem to eat a lot of packaged foods. Al Haggan family of Kuwait City seems to have the healthiest diet with lots of vegetables, same with the Ahmed family of Cairo. Holy cow, the Namgay family of Shingkhey Village feeds all 13 people for $5.03 in a week?!?
It's also interesting to see how many people drink Coke vs. Pepsi.
Thanks to Typefiend for directing me to this heart-stopping article.

Every so often, I'm traveling/camping/doing something that requires packing lunch with minimal bulk/weight (no ice packs or coolers). Any suggestions on some sort of filling lunch type food I can pack and it won't get spoiled sitting at regular ambient temperature (~70c) for a few hours?
Book: Show us a great non-fiction book.
Way before Alton Brown came around, Harold McGee brought the science of producing food and cooking to a level that can enrapture the average joe. Like, how egg whites and heavy cream can both whip up into a foam, but for completely different reasons. I loaned it to a friend and he stopped talking to me, so I never got it back.
I had a very late dinner last night consisting of smoked gouda flavored popcorn and some hard boiled eggs.
So obviously, I'm pretty hungry this morning. I bought some cajun flavored beef jerky at Siesel's meats ysterday, and this morning I stopped by Whole Foods to get lunch. My impulse buy of the day are these B.T. McElrath english toffees. That beef jerky from Siesel's is the best beef jerky I've ever had, and I've had a lot of beef jerky. Beef jerky and English toffee, breakfast of champions.
I want to go there!
