This morning when I was doing everything I could to put off working out until the verrrrry last minute, I read Greg’s post about Google Chrome and thought !!NEW!! I MUST HAVE IT!! and downloaded it immediately. And I think you should too! I really don’t know why, other than…it’s NEW!
I do agree with his observation on the scrolling, though. It’s a little frustrating to go down, then up, then downnnn, then up. (dirty).
We have embarked this week on an eating healthy pursuit. I bought a Cooking Light recipe book a couple months back and I am determined, now that the weather is suddenly shitty and I don’t mind cooking, to make something from it every day. So far this week I’ve done Maple Glazed Salmon, mashed potatoes, bacon green beans, roasted asparagus with brown butter, fettucine Alfredo, and peach/raspberry crisp. None of which sound VERY HEALTHY AT ALL, do they? I KNOW! But they are, with the minimum amount of the good stuff (like butter and bacon) utilized in the best way for tastiness. I LOVE my Cooking Light cookbook!
Did you know that for maximum nutrition, you should boil potatoes WHOLE? And UNPEELED? I didn’t. Until Cooking Light told me.
ANYWAY. Today is the best day in the world because I recieved one very special package from Amazon, which contained Season Four of The Office. With a 40 minute blooper reel! FORTY MINUTES!!! Omg, I couldn’t be any happier right now.
I feel like I had a lot happen today at work but apparently…
oh.
…well, I had to run upstairs to tell Lindsey she had a phone call. And then I totally lost my mind and BLAM! I totally forgot I was posting. So I Epil’d my legs, and then came downstairs and gave my Vita-mix a good scrub, and then put some recycling away, and then I came to sit down, thinking, ‘gee, I can probably get in some good surfing…’ when I saw this open window and realized that pretty much, I’m probably done for the night.
Tschuss!!

Forgot to say in my Chrome post that it’s in beta, but I think it’s surprisingly well done for not being a finished product.
The potassium leeches out of the potatoes and into the water, right? I rarely boil potatoes except for mashed potatoes, and it’s too much of a pain to peel them after they’re cooked. My mom does, but then again she’s crazy.
I’m jealous of your 40 minute blooper reel. Not that it’s a reel of you, bloopering, which would be awesome. Come to think of it I wish we all had our own blooper reels.

Whoops. Oh well, at least you got your legs done ;-).
Love me some Cooking Light - I get the magazine every month and can’t cook as fast as they can come up with these tasty things.

FG - Yes! That’s exactly it. The potassium.
Kario - What? They have a magazine too? Lindsey made a coffee cake yesterday that was HEAVENLY. I’m so impressed.
toni - How did you do that?
