"I worked hard not to make him an asshole but to make him an idiot, which is a different thing. An asshole is an idiot who thinks not caring if you love him is adorable. Whereas an idiot doesn't know that what he's doing is alienating you. He wants you to love him still.")
watching a bit of this murray - kyrgios match. kyrgios at 20 has the potential to be the next big thing or could end up as a supremely talented head case. and as much as the powers that be cluck at his uncouth behavior im sure secretly they are hoping he brings some fresh excitement and attention to the game. but if the big four didnt raise the games profile over the last decade i doubt a pair of pink sneaks, churlishness and a mohawk will make that much of a difference.

can it be called a successful 6 mile bike ride when i got 1.75 liters of whiskey and 3 oversized cookies enroute? to be fair two of those cookies were free. to be less generous i got them to open the door to the bakery with some minor beseeching after they had closed. but again, to be fair, they were closing up 20 minutes early. the only two things i really regret -- the quality of the whiskey and not tipping the cookiegivers better. i think we can easily deduce the square root of that equation. and, no, i was not good at math.

When you take a sip, of Cruze Farm's buttermilk, you understand why it kept the farm alive. You can taste the butter and the milk; the thick creaminess lingers on your lips. It's a little tangy. A little sweet. It's not sour. It also has the necessary acidity to make real buttermilk biscuits—it's the whole reason the lauded Southern staple came to be. The lactic acid in buttermilk—the same thing that gives it that tang—is also what makes for truly tender biscuits, breaking down the gluten in the flour. It also contributes to the leavening effect of baking soda, producing tiny bubbles of carbon dioxide that puff up the biscuits sky-high. You know how vinegar and baking soda together will explode? It's the same effect, except in miniature. And much more delicious.
raspberry bars. yes, please.
