steam my buns!
I just tried to steam some buns and it was a big fat failure. I put a two level bamboo steamer (10”) inside my skillet (12”), added water to just under the bottom steamer level.  Boiled water.   Since the buns are fairly large, I only put one on each level.  The package said to steam for 13-15 minutes.  After 15 minutes, I stuck a fork through the center, and the insides were still...

thegreatpumpkin: Somebody on my Twitter actually just wrote “Fuck Earth Day! There are more important things.” Than the earth? OK homie. Do you. Enjoy New Caprica. I know who is going out the hatch first.

I got the Momofuku cookbook from the Library.
It is a lot of work.   A lot of work. First there is the recipe for ramen… Followed by the recipes for all of the ingredients that go in your ramen (broth, noodles, some other shit). Where does one get pork bones?  Can you really just walk up to the “butcher” at the Giant at Columbia Heights and say “give me some carcass” and then they do?  Will they give me weird...

I just paid a lot of money
to have a plumber show up at my house, take apart my toilet, and put it back together.  And shim it. I’ve got some pretty pricey shims, y’all. But I don’t regret the $$, because now that fucker is fixed.  It took the plumber an hour, but it spared me a lifetime of anxiety. Looking up home repair on the internet is almost as frightening as going to WebMD, except instead of...

I totally forgot it was Thursday!  I didn’t watch Community!  I was eating this delish sushi roll made from tuna, radish and kimchi, and I fucking forgot all about it.   Blinded by sushi.

Jane Austen in Korea
nerdiosity: K. Just finished watching My Lovely Sam Soon. Was very enjoyable, not sure I get why it was a national phenomenon though. And why the heck did Hyun Bin lose all that weight before Secret Garden? He was already a scrawny lil’ dude in this. I’m gonna make a slight arguement here too.  I’ve seen it mentioned TONS of times that the model for many of these K-dramas is Pride and...

working from home
The Fedex guy showed up.  As of 5 mins ago, when he showed up, I was still in my pjs, boobs hanging out everywhere, messy and-not-in-a-cute way hair bun.  So I threw on my jean jacket and answered the door. After signing for the package, I ran into my room, slapped on deodorant and real clothes, and braided my hair.

nerdrage and die
Been kinda watching Iris and liked it, alright-ish, up until a secondary (secondary!) character put on her NO-LENS, FAKE ASS GLASSES before peering at spy information on her spy computer in the secret spy agency.  And then she took them off, when she was done reading. The stupidest spy in existence: WHAT THE FUCK, KDRAMA. First of all, what kind of dumbass puts on fake computer glasses? But...
