cool or lame?

seriously, I can't tell. Is this website cool or lame?


The Post Punk Kitchen. It was a tv show that aired from 2003-2005 on brooklyn and manhatten public access. as I did not live there, I never saw it/heard of it. now it is a website/cookbook etc. some of the recipe's actually look pretty good. (see below)

I just can't decide if a title of "Riot Grrril" for this recipe of Orange Maple Barbeque Sauce is funny and cute or totally sad and dumb?

SOMEBODY HELP ME DECIDE!



Vegan Sushi

Yamroom roll
prep time: 15 minutes | cooking time: however long rice takes + 10 m | makes 4 rolls


Sweet yams and salty earthy mushrooms make this roll an absolute must for any sushi party worth it's weight in wasabi. Use our sushi tips to ensure perfect rolls.
Equipment:
Bamboo sushi rolling mat
Really sharp serrated knife
Rice cooker or pot for rice
Large preferabely glass bowl to cool rice down in
Small saute pan
Tongs, if you are going to be roasting the nori

Ingredients
For the rice
1 cup sushi rice made with 1 1/4 cup H20, prepared according to package directions
About 2 Tablespoons Rice vinegar (do not use regular or any other kind!)
1 teaspoon sugar

4 sheets nori*

For the filling
1 small peeled Japanese or Korean yam (or sweet potato), chopped & boiled till tender
4-5 shitaki mushrooms (dried or fresh), steamed till tender with a dash or shoyu or mirin cooking wine, and sliced into strips
1/2 tsp sesame oil


Directions
For the rice

Prepare rice according to package instructions. It should be something like 1 1/4 cup H20 to 1 cup rice. Cook till rice is tender but firm, even a little dry.

Empty hot rice into a large glass bowl. Sprinkle with about rice vinegar and 1 sugar. Fold rice gently with a large spoon or rice paddle. Rice should be moist and have a mild vinegar flavor. Cover with plastic wrap. When rice is slightly warmer than room temperature it's ready to work with.

For the filling
Mash steamed yam with sesame oil. Layer with mushrooms & roll away!

*If you like, use a pair of tongs to roast the nori sheets over the oven flame for 2-3 seconds.








Vegan Soy Ice Cream

prep time: 5-10 minutes | cooking time: 25 minutes freezing time | makes 3 cups of vegan ice cream
This vegan soy ice cream recipe is easy to make, infinitely customizable, and has a luxuriously creamy texture.
It was developed by the head chef at Goodbaker Gourmet, where we make the world's best organic vegan baking mixes. We wanted something to enjoy with our vegan cake and cookie mixes...
Equipment: - Blender or food processor
- Ice cream machine (the kind with the tub you chill in the freezer works fine, and they cost less than $50)

Ingredients
1 tetra box firm silken tofu (like Mori-Nu) -or- 8 ounces soy yogurt
Between 3/4 to 1 cup plain soy milk
1/3 cup maple syrup or brown rice syrup (or a combination)
2 tsp vanilla

Directions
Combine all 4 main ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until thoroughly combined and smooth. Blend in any desired flavoring ingredients (see below). Pour into your ice cream machine, and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.
Add-ins:
For various flavors, add to the food processor:
For Banana Soy Ice Cream, blend in 2 ripe bananas
For Strawberry Soy Ice Cream, blend in 12-16 frozen and partially thawed strawberries.
For Pineapple Soy Ice Cream, blend in 1 can or 1 cup of pineapple (well drained). You may want more sweetener.
For Ginger Soy Ice Cream, add either 1/4 cup preserved ginger or 1 to 2 inches grated fresh ginger (for preserved ginger, add to food processor so it gets ground up).

Use your imagination to come up with new flavors!

Flavored liquers or syrups are a great way to add punch. Try creme de menthe and chocolate chips, or coffee liqueur, or instant coffee powder...



btw don't get it twisted. I am NOT turning vegan. debwa still loves red meat. just incorporating (non-dairy, thanks lactose intolerence!) different things into the diet, that's all! (this lady doth not protest too much)

I love pedobear. and 4chan.

pedobear is amazing. and so is 4chan for doing this.

"4Chan once again used their nearly infinite power to juke the stats and
promote Pedobear to the #1 spot in a contest to find Miley Cyrus' biggest fan."



and if you don't know who pedobear is, here is a slight introduction . . .





I really, really love internet nerdz. also, I never want to be the focus of their attention.

embarassing human beings

oh wow. besides being amazing for finding obscure cartoons on youtube, my other all time favorite use of the internet is laughing at the misfortunes of others. my two new hubs for this type of humor are as follows:

LAMEBOOK

makes fun of all the lame-o thing people post on facebook (hence the name). my favorite is when girls fight about their baby daddies, but i couldn't find a good one.

TEXTS FROM LAST NIGHT
(717): hey this is lauren, i have to type for jon because he's convinced the tongs he's holding are his real hands

(347): I knew you were gonna be a good wingman when the words "dibs on the chunky one" came out of your mouth.

(310): Her vagina felt like a horse was eating an apple out of my hand..

(519): and then she said I drew a line on her forehead with my cum and whispered "Simba"

(619): just caught grandpa beating off in the living room


(386): I was rubbing the clit just like wikipedia told me to.

this could be the best thing that has happened to my free time. i thought this site was okay at first, but check out the 'best' and 'worst' nights. you won't be disappointed.

blog of an aspiring homemaker


this blog is amazing. it is the blog of an 18 yr old self-proclaimed aspiring homemaker (see above pic) who lives in georgia. apparently a few yrs ago she and her family were living regularly in atlanta, and as far as I understand, they decided to get a cottage for summertime and ultimately moved there full-time. they also were all homeschooled and dress in 1800s garb (most of the time).



here is the blog entry explaining their "transition to the simple life" and her decision to be a "stay at home daughter"




I am pretty into everything she does (is into family and being a good big sister, makes lemonade, sews, bakes delicious-looking food), but am not into these 2 things:

-she got into all of these things b/c she "found" christianity (she says this about how her garden party went: We were blessed with perfect weather and an enjoyable breeze. I used antique books as weights for the tablecloths, which added a vintage touch :) Over lunch, photo's were passed around [of course the baby/childhood pictures!]and I shared about how I'm a TOTALLY different person than I was 5 years ago and what a privilege it is to be in a Godly home. The women shared their testimonies & advice on biblical womanhood, and I deeply appreciated their knowledge in preparation for whatever the Lord may bring into my life)
-her list of reading materials from being homeschooled: Holy Bible and Christian books written before 1950



but there are some really stunningly beautiful photos on the blog. plus she seems v. sweet and adorably sincere

debwa <3s taylor swift? y/n?

I just spent 45 minutes of my life watching taylor swift videos. I am not kidding.


videos like this:
I guess we're all one phone call from our knees.



and this:





I love her little mole face (ps did you know that naked mole rats are immune to pain? true story)




I'm also watching 10 things I hate about you on tv. I am officially a 16 yr old girl.

the best thing I've ever read

it's bolded. this sentence took me completely by surprised and I busted out laughing. I also want this poster to write a novel based on the bolded (part of a) sentence.

(from "sorry mom, I bang the worst dudes")





















I hooked up with this guy for a few months despite the fact that he dealt drugs from his dorm room, bragged about how many antidepressants he was on, and smoked weed almost as much as he farted. When I asked about his cocaine habit he snapped at me and insisted I never bring it up because it might come back to haunt him in the future, as he was planning on someday becoming a high profile politician. Really? Because that’s not what your 2 point something GPA told me. The cherry on top: this Pillsbury doughboy body double would pound on my door at 4:30 in the morning in the middle of the week, coked up out of his mind, begging for a blowjob. I’ll pass, Mr. President.

the best thing I've ever read
