Doing some minor re-arranging
Got rid of the seperete blogroll on the page, after all the RSS Feed page is essentially the blogroll duplicated and made fancy.
Hey, I need a new coffee table!
Saw this over at Marooned. So cool, and they look like nice pieces of furniture. Unfortunetly their coffee table won’t work in my house. I have one really big problem:
Yes he has a perfectly good dog bed, he’d rather lay on my coffee table. That particular piece is already showing the strain of a 100lb dog jumping on and off. I’m thinking our next one is going to be a box of wood, if I’m lucky it’ll have a drawer or two.
Cheese crackers
So today I was looking for something different to make when it occurred to me that I’d not tried King Arthur Flour’s Cheese cracker recipe lately. I’d made it several times before but I always had trouble rolling the dough thin enough, but over the winter I found a pasta roller on sale, and then never made crackers.
So, out came the pasta roller, and I made crackers.
I’m not going to copy over the recipe, just click the link. But they are pretty easy to make, and the only fancy ingredient you need is the powdered cheese. I do suggest that when measuring out the cheese powder to make it a heaping to overflowing 1/2 cup. I also suggest that when baking, at the 8 minute mark when you separate the crackers you also flip them. From then on watch them closely, they really WILL go from golden to to brown in a second or two. The only other thing I do that the recipe doesn’t suggest is that once they’re cool I put them into a large ziplock bag and add some more cheese powder and shake till the crackers are covered.
They’re awesome, and I totally recommend them!
Hey, gas dropped back below $4
Gas prices here have been over the $4 mark for at least a couple weeks now (not hugely over, but enough so that even the “cash price” was over $4). But the last few days almost all the stations dropped below that mark. Not that the few cents difference makes that much of a difference in the overall cost. Its still almost $50 to fill my gas tank every week, and if its one of THOSE weeks its twice a week. Can I say how much that hurts?
