Basic Instructions

I use Google Reader (an RSS feed reader/aggregator) to keep track of and read the blogs that I like which means that I don't always actually see the web sites of most of those content publishers. (If you're reading more than three or four blogs regularly, I highly recommend using a feed reader.) But occasionally I'll actually go to those sites and most blogs have a "blogroll" or list of links.

When I found my friend Jake Walkenhorst's blog, he had a link to Basic Instructions, a twice weekly web comic. I hadn't heard of it before so I checked it out and was quickly hooked. It is one of the most consistently funny comics that I've read... for me it's up there with Dilbert. So after about a month of reading it and laughing through the archives of old comics, I've decided to link to it too (see the sidebar under "links").

Here is one of the recent comics to give you a flavor for it. It's probably not for everybody, but I think it's hilarious and figured that I'd share.

On Tyler's Birthday

Here are a few photos from previous Tyler birthdays. My big boy is 3!

Frosting from Tyler's Birthday Cake

For anybody that is interested in the recipe for the frosting from Tyler's birthday cake last night, here is a link. Jennifer made it for the first time yesterday and since she was fasting wasn't able to try it when she made it so was happy that it turned out!

Hooray for AB!

Unlike some of the other Food Network stars (Emeril with Emeril Live), it appears that Alton Brown was able to work out a deal to keep his current shows/hosting duties with a new three year contract with Food Network. Long live Good Eats and Feasting on Asphalt!

From Alton Brown reups for another three years (Slashfood)
