Things I remembered/was reminded of this week

Thinking back on this last week I was reminded of a few things:

- Buffalo bites are delicious:

They are pretty much boneless buffalo wings, but cut up into bite-size pieces. I cut the chicken up, then in a bag mix flour, a little salt, black pepper, paprika and red pepper. Toss the chicken in the bag and let it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes. After that, throw them in the oven. Just before they come out of the oven make some wing sauce (hot sauce and butter). Stir them both together and serve with some ranch dressing. It's the good stuff.

- A falling tree, which we've seen a lot of lately, would really hurt:

On the way to work we drive down a (reasonably) major Stamford road, Washington Blvd. There is a river/stream that runs next to the road, where this tree fell during the big wind storm a fortnight ago. It pulled up dirt and roots with it when it fell and took out a fence. Hopefully they clean it up before softball season, because the tree crushed the right field fence, and a garbage bin, and Scalzi Park field 3 is already small enough.

- The Japanese make some truly wonderful stuff:

I saw this on Geekologie. I love the entire commercial, but especially when the dog is doing stuff on 2 legs (walking weird, running normally with a dog photo over his crotch, and the frisbee dance). Liz watched it and then staired blankly at the TV. "I don't understand any of what I just saw" she eventually said.

- South Park is freaking awesome

I'm reminded of this with pretty much every episode I see, but when they ripped off Sarah Jessica Parker, I thought it was fantastic (I can't stand looking at that woman, probably even more so than Jennifer Lopez)... and all the cartoon vomit was fantastic.

- The Clone Wars is actually good

After watching the episode last week after 3 weeks off the air I was severely disappointed. I enjoyed this week's episode though. A new character that was actually seen as a threat to the Jedi, some type of actual "war" in the show. My only complaint was that they seem so quick to kill off characters who might actually pose a threat to the heroes. Sure, it's a kids show and the heroes are going to win, but at least let some of these characters, other than Grievous and Ventress, get more than one shot at winning. I'll hold out slim hope that Admiral Trench (above) survived some how (he apparently did before, though it is highly doubtful this time). This episode was also set before all of the other episodes, so hopefully he makes some type of appearance again. But I know he won't...

- Sleeping in on the weekend is good

Enough said.

- Bacon is great

Had it for breakfast yesterday. Wonderful stuff.
