the destroyer

Micale's Mighty-Simple Beer Bread (AKA: 1,1,3,3. 1,350) is usually a hit. At pot-lucky events, people are usually pee-their-pants happy to see me show up with a warm loaf and some butter and jam and honey.

Tonight I discovered that perhaps the only thing better than Micale's Mighty-Simple Beer Bread is a tray of Fisher's Mighty-Simple Cheddar Beer Biscuits, topped with some turkey-sausage gravy.

I just destroyed the first helping; now i'm headed back for another plateful. As viva voce would say: 'We do not fuck around.'

Fisher's Mighty-Simple Cheddar Beer Biscuits (AKA: 1,1,3,3,1)

1 Tbl baking powder
1 beer (PBR works well! so does a thick porter! beer is good!)
3 cups flour
3 Tbl sugar
1 cup (ish) of grated cheddar (or whatever you like; I think a saltier cheese would be quite wonderful)

Heat oven to 325. Mix the dry ingredients. Pour in the beer. Mix until everything's moist. Work in the grated cheese. It'll be sticky. I used the end of my wooden spatular to chunk off an eighth-cup-sized (ish) ball of dough. Drop it onto a greased cookie sheet. Put it into the oven. Be patient. I didn't keep track of how long I let 'em bake, but let's say that you're pretty safe to set the timer at 30 mins and then start paying attention. It takes longer than you think. Or, at least, it takes longer than i thought it would, but i was pretty hungry.

It's sort of exciting (and relatively rare) for me to find three different frames that I like. Now the hard part is narrowing it down to one. After having asked a couple of the staff at the eye doctor's, my roommate, and Stephanie, an early leader is emerging. But I'm open to other feedback..... Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Comments?

citizens arrest

What are the rules for citizens arrest? Specifically, if there's a girl talking on her cell phone, with half her car windows frosted over, who doesn't wait her turn at the four-way, would I get in trouble if I pulled her out of her car and slapped her with her phone a couple of times? I suppose that doesn't quite count as citizens arrest. Vigilante justice, maybe. Whack, whack! In less aggravating news, tomorrow is the last day of classes for the semester. Finally. It's been a long time comin' this fall. I really should start thinking about the trip to WV and AZ and start planning some Christmas gifty-gifts.

out of order

So I'm now going to post a bit about the DEMOLITION DERBY, which actually happened the weekend before my trip out here to CA. Backing up even further: in the few days leading up to the DEMOLITION DERBY, it rained pretty heavily, even producing a bit of flooding. This was bad news for the derby: the cars had a tough, tough time getting much traction in 10 inches of mud. The result: a not very demolishing derby. Slo-mo derby. Cars that were disqualified not because they were intentionally trying to stay out of the action but because they were axle-deep in mud and couldn't make a hit. Lame-oh: nowhere near the fun of DEMOLITION DERBY 2005. I had promised several people that DERBY '07 would be barrels of fun. Instead, we left early. Here's a pic that Kaijsa took of the contestants, though: Annalee said she didn't make it to the derby because of the big rains in the days leading up to the derby. The current of run-off was strong enough, as she was driving home, to rip of
