For the first time in ages today, I made one of my favorite recipe toppers: toasted pecans drenched in butter and spices. It’s absolutely horrible for me. But God, it’s good. And it’s probably a bit odd to put said nuts on top of my curried chicken and peas, but once again, good food. I like. If someone ever needed to bribe me and the world was out of Coca Cola, peanut butter, and chocolate, bribe #4 that will always be accepted is hot roasted nuts.
Gas cooker blows up island

*Wow, the price of that game has dropped nicely.
Who set me up the journal?

It’s 2007!
Happy New Year, everybody. May it be happy, healthy, productive, and filled with fun and love.
Child’s Play
And on a totally different note, did anyone else notice that Child’s Play raised almost a million dollars this year?
That’s awesome. That’s so way awesome I don’t know how awesome to say it is. If you participated, thank you. You did a wonderful thing.

Nuclear Weather Rock Prints Still Available
Just an FYI – I’ve only got four or five Nuclear Weather Rock prints still available, so if you’ve been thinking about it and you got a little cash over the holidays, this might be a good time to order.
I’m also still interested in feedback on the Google Checkout process, from those that do order.
