Nougat!
October 14, 2004Read more
From a specialty chocolate store near my sister’s house. She’ll doubtless fill me in on the full story of its origin. Fantastic nougat…didn’t know I was a nougat fan until I had this stuff.
UPDATE FROM MY SISTER:
That is from the fabulous Garrison Confections, and is called their Ultimate Nougat Bar. It’s the brainchild of Andrew Shotts, one of the top 10 artisanal chocolatiers in the US and they use a lot of interesting ingredients, as well as premium E. Guittard chocolate to make these little marvels.
I also agree with my sis that it’s not unlike a Snicker’s Bar in constitution: peanuts, nougat, caramel. However, in comparing the taste of the Ultimate Nougat Bar to Snicker’s, give me the UNB. It’s a better balance of sweetness, texture, and rich chcolate flavors–not that waxy stuff you get with most US bars. And if you find Snickers too sweet, you might like the UNB also…it seemed less sweet to me. I wonder if you can get them by the case?

Here’s a picture of Katai, aka Kat. He was adopted with his sister from Kitty Angels, a no-kill shelter in nearby Tyngsboro, MA. He’s a big attention slut.

This was a concept draft for making the ultimate button for a digital portfolio I never got around to doing. It would have started small on the screen, then expanded into a crazy layout. But now that I have this site up, the need has diminished.

“You know, in a European Way”
October 14, 2004Read moreMy mistake! It turns out that watching hair grow is fun, or at least mildly distracting, if you speed it up by a factor of 172800 or so. I especially liked the rationale:
Despite the fact that my husband claimed my hair was sexy — “You know, in a European way” — it had been a year since I decided it might be fun to painstakingly maintain the look of a horribly botched haircut, and I needed a change.
There are a few other projects I’ve seen like this, like this one of one family over 25 years. Hair link via dooce.
I shall now endeavor to use “in a European way” in lieu of “that’s interesting” as much as possible. My verbal horizons: broadened!

Missing Edit Link in WordPress
October 13, 2004Read moreI think I finally figured out a minor WordPress 1.2 mystery: I was wondering why I wasn’t always seeing the “edit this” link when logged in as an Admin. The edit this link was missing sometimes, and present at others! I believe I narrowed it down to the URIs defined in the WordPress “Options Panel”. They must match your link URIs, otherwise you won’t see the “edit this” link.
