I like the links to the helpful zombie information they provide on the site. the youtube links, however…

me vs 14½ ounce cans of broth.

Posted in and?, yum on January 25th, 2009

so I’ve been doing a bit of cooking lately, cooking a whole lot of comfort foods because it’s just so goddamn miserable outside.

I’ve been pretty successful so far scouring the interweb for relatively simple recipes and turning them into dinner, but I seem to be running into a recurring problem: many recipes require 2 cups of broth (or stock or consommé). 2 cups = 16 ounces.

there’s clearly a disconnect between recipe writers and canned broth (or stock or consommé) manufacturers because they seem to only make them in 14½ ounce cans. they make 32 ounce containers, but the next size down is 14½ ounces. what?

in retrospect, I suppose I could try shopping at more than two different locations for groceries before I go on a rant about it. but I got this far with this entry and there’s just no turning back at this point.

t-baby brings ghetto to a whole new level.

my favorite part is at 2:27 when she falls out of sync with the beat. if you, like so many of my friends, can’t bear to watch this any longer than you need to, you can skip right over to it.

ah, mates of state.

lately I’ve been on the hunt for songs I haven’t listened to in a while, and tonight it’s the first mates of state song I ever heard called leave me at the tree. it’s off their split 7″ with a band called fighter d and was released back in ‘99. (has it been that long?) this song found its way on most of the indiepop mix tapes I was making back then. check it out:

they’re still going strong, you know. they’ve grown over the years but continue to maintain the brand of charm few other bands can match. check out a track from their latest:

ps- what does everyone use for an embeddable music player service?
