Wanna make some cop porn?
An important and exciting discovery:
It's no secret that one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast is fried taro cake. For the longest time, it defied me to understand why I would always have to scrape the tasty tasty bits of cake from the bottom of the pan, no matter how much oil I used. I just couldn't figure out why it would always stick, until this weekend as I was slicing a block of freshly defrigerated taro cake and noticed how cold it was. On a hunch, I threw it into the microwave for half a minute to bring it to just a smidge warmer than room temperature before dropping it into the hot oil. Voila! No stickage! This is probably the same thing that makes blocks of tofu stick to the pan... I'm going to try soaking the tofu in hot water next time.
Oh, and did I mention that I'm moving? Yeah, I did mention that, yeah. It'll be going down (I'll be going up) next week after I come back from DC. There will be a housewarming party next Tuesday night. E-mail me if you'd like to swing by (e-mail is in my user info), and I'll tell you where it's at. Rad.
A belated congratulations to revamerika for being the first ever bonus-points recipient. He correctly extracted the arecibo message from the improperly-wrapped version I posted. Here's what it's supposed to look like, for those of you who don't live in outer space:
So that's revamerika: 1; all the rest of you: 0.
