Clearing the Slate: Dumping Links on You Guys

Posted by on
I'm either too cramped for time, or too lazy or both to write a full post, so instead, I have a bunch of stuff rattling around my brain and I'm dumping it here so I can move on to more important things like whether I'm going to get a meatball sandwich or the Italian Beef at Venice Cafe for lunch today.


  • I hate it when people on the train wear a ton of purfume/cologne. I also hate it when people smell. Sure, we all have our off days, but my goal in life scent-wise is to leave no footprint - have no smell. Shouldn't that be everyone's?

  • The best sports blog out there is Deadspin. Hands down. One of the best parts of the blog are the comments. My co-worker Matt and I were just chatting about them this morning. The best description I've ever read about the community there was written on CopyRanter: "If you have time, read the comments; his readers are both batshit insane and very entertaining. "

  • I wonder if there's a Beer-O-the-Month-Club that will send me all 25 of these beers? I've had a few of them, but I think it's a lofty goal to get all 25 down. I think you'd need like 4 of each or something, right? You'd want to share this experience with folks.

  • I've been working with the guys from AgencyNet to get the Howard TV feed fired up. I love that my job allows, ney, enourages that I pitch folks like this. Baba Booey, Baba Booey!

  • I'm kinda surprised that the 2 players for the "Good Guys" who decided or volunteered to wear Jackie Robinson's #42 jersey this weekend were Jim Thome and Alex Cintron. Seems like there would have been other guys to make that move, doesn't it?

  • The cicadas are coming, the cicadas are coming! My folks live on a very wooded lot. I remember the last time they showed up. Crazy, crazy stuff. The whole backside of our house was covered in their shells (or whatever you call it. exoskeleton?!?). I bet Maisy will have a field day and fill up her belly with these babies!

    Lou Malnati's Salad Dressing Recipe as Published in the 60's

    Posted by on

    Earlier this winter, I wrote about the old Lou Malnati's menu and mentioned that as I was waiting around for my pie to finish up, I spied an old Chicago Tribune article posted on the wall that included the original Lou Malnati's Italian Salad Dressing Recipe.  The Tribune reporter called it "prized".  We were set to host a little pizza party over the weekend, so I figured I'd give it a shot.  Here's the article as seen through my mobile phone's camera. I'm not a wine drinker, so the fact that the recipe called for Burgundy wine didn't strike me as odd.  I went shopping at Angelo Caputos in Addison - a really incredible shopping experience - and when I got to the wine section I found Burgundy wine was carried ONLY in those HUGE jugs.  And they were dirt cheap.  The only issue is that needed just 4 ounces.  We ended up with a whole-lotta-wine that Nat won't drink. I've taken the recipe and modified it a bit by eliminating the percentage...

    Overwintering Disneyland Roses With Leaf Mulch - Floribunda Roses - December 2024

    Posted by on
    Image
    Yesterday, I posted photos of how I'm attempting to overwinter some Dahlia tubers in the ground and in a couple of those pics, you might have peeked at the chicken wire cages next to the piles of mulch on the dahlia tubers.  Those chicken wire cages are full of fallen leaves and are set on top of the three Disneyland Rose crowns along the southside of our house. See below for a couple of photos showing how I set up the ring of chicken wire and filled it with mulched-up leaves: These roses struggled this year, so here's hoping this little bit of extra Winter protection is going to help them get through the cold.
