Short ribs are one of my favorite cuts of beef. They're on the same level as brisket in that they're both rich and moist cuts of meat which are best braised or barbecued. This recipe evokes some classic barbecue elements in a braised dish. Be sure to trim the excess fat from the short ribs, as you'll still have some extra fat to contend with. Any port will do, but I made this with Fonseca LBV. I'm lucky.I adapted this from the ... Read More

"Bacteria are animals, too! They're not ours to kill and obliviate! Our scientists have been able to discern the sound of streptococcus bacteria 'screaming' in a petri dish when exposed to pennicillium spores." She then wiped a tear from the corner of her eye.

There are two vans, one red box van, one green minivan. The back windows were shot out of both of the ... Read More

For some reason I never talk about it here, but I have a CafePress Shop, because when you're mind wanders as frequently as mine does, sometimes you want to do things like make t-shirts, too. Today I made a new one, as well as a tote bag with the same design. It says "Bust Moves, Not Bunkers." It's a nod to the "Drop Beats, Not Bombs" shirt which I think is really funny. Here it is: [caption id="attachment_448" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Bust Moves, Not Bunkers"][/caption] It's ... Read More
