Today's recipe was given to me by Rob, aka Janus. Rob is a vegetarian, so this dish contains no meat - but it does contain lots of deliciousness! It's a Thai-influenced dish which requires almost no 'cooking,' in fact - boiling pasta and using a blender is the height of complexity here. it's even served at room temperature; no ovens necessary.
Ingredients 3/4 cup peanut butter - I used chunky, but creamy is fine too 3 tablespoons soy sauce or teriyaki marinade 3 tablespoons lemon juice
I made this for dinner last night. It was fantastic! This is a piece of Indian-inspired cuisine; Indian food happens to be my favourite kind of food (followed closely by Chinese). Give me some vegetable korma and I'm a happy man for weeks.
This is another recipe that uses only the microwave, so it's very simple to prepare - and I'm not going to lie, it's one of my favourite things I've cooked. Now, I'm going to say ahead of time that for this recipe - and all recipes I'll post - things
Sorry I haven't posted any of these in a while! I've been busy. I have a backlog of them built up however, so expect to see them frequently posted.
This recipe is one I actually created myself the other day. I was running low on food (I finally got around to grocery shopping two hours ago today!) and had to whip something up creatively. But that's the nice thing about cooking - you can experiment. So this entire recipe was literally made up entirely as I went along. It turned out to be
I enjoy cooking, and it's a pretty useful skill to have when you're off on your own, living by yourself on a meager budget. The meal plan I'm on here at college covers lunch and dinner during the week (I just make breakfast in my room - yogurt, instant oatmeal, cereal, bagels, et cetera), but on the weekends I have to feed myself. This is fine, though; I live in a house with a bunch of friends rather than a dorm, and we have our own kitchen here. So I try to make some nice meals on a shoestri

HI SMEAG! I AM IN YOUR BLOG, EDITING YOUR ENTRIES!
I LOVE MAKARU TOO! <<DV>>
I heart you both.

The first oder of MOC-related business I am discussing today is the fact that Kex, author of The Natural Life, has chosen my BBC 38 entry, Demolisher Tank, as his "MOC of the Week." Thank you very much, Kex.
Secondly, BBC 38 voting is up! My tank is in Preliminary Poll C. Remember, a vote for Smeag is a vote for...Smeag.
Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive, and the world: turning inside out, yeah!
And floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now--don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time; having a good time
I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by, like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go, go, go
There's no stopping me!
I'm burning through the sky, yeah!
Two hundred degrees, that's why they call me mister Fah
So I took this picture of my guitar the morning after our gig on the 5th. I'd torn open three of my fingers about halfway through the show and was spraying blood everywhere but kept playing and finished the set. The lesson is that you may be metal but you will never be as metal as I am.
Let's be real for a moment. Don't you dare deny the evils of the patriarchy. Don't you dare spit on all the women on whom our society encourages assault and violation. Don't you dare blame the victims of these assaults. Don't you dare try to justify their earning cents on the dollar. Don't you dare tell them what their role in society is, or what you want them to do, or that they should calm down. Don't you dare devalue them because they're angry - they have every right to be angry. A
"Death on Two Legs" by Queen
Composed by Freddie mercury
You suck my blood like a leech
You break the law and you preach
Screw my brain till it hurts
...
Death on two legs
You're tearing me apart
Death on two legs
You've never had a heart of your own
...
Have you found a new toy to replace me?
Can you face me?

(No, this is not related to anything on BZP. No, I'm also not going to tell you what it is about.)
I sometimes eat peanuts whole, meaning I eat the shells.
This, I know, is generally unorthodox; most people find the shell to be unappetizing or assume it to be so. It just so happened one day, however, I was enjoying a rather delicious snack of peanuts, and i wondered aloud whether the shells were edible in the human sense (as in, not apt to block intenstines or whatnot). Nobody in the room knew the answer to the quandry, so I took it upon myself to investigate online, where I discovered
I got to counting earlier...
113: The number of albums I physically own (this is not including albums and songs procured from the internet--this is only CDs and cassettes I have purchased or received as gifts physically)
147: Number of artists currently featured in my growing music collection (including only-on-computer stuff this time, which is why it's larger than the album count)
3: Number of musical instruments I play with any degree of real proficiency
47: Number of Transformers
I am deeply saddened by the tremendous amount of whining and complaining I have witnessed on BZP recently. This "bratty" attitude many members have adopted is useless and offensive and needs to be curbed.
The recent complaints have been centered around two contests: BZPower's BBC #38, and the European "design-a-mask" competition. Due to unfortunate circumstances of time, money, and location, BBC #38 is open to residents of the United States. Immediately upon announcement, a horde of non-U
Just an open statement in answer to questions, comments, and general chatter about the place. Yes, it's true! I and the lovely lady who goes by the username 'Nikira' here are very much in love. We are in a relationship; we're 'dating' or 'courting' or whatever the proper word to use is. She is my girlfriend; I am her boyfriend. No, this is not a joke or charade. No, we did not know each other prior to being BZPower members; we initially encountered each other through this community. It's re
I am writing a paper that I have entitled "The Great Oreo Cookies of Drama."
(I'm considering further specifying it by retitling it "The Great Oreo Cookies of Renaissance Drama," but what you will)
That is awesome.
Yes, yes, I changed everything in order to be nice to people who don't have widescreen monitors.
Oh, and in case it wasn't obvious, here are what each of the new names for the categories:
"My Generation" - BZPower
"All I Can Do Is Write About It" - Blog
"A Day in the Life" - General Life
"Won't Get Fooled Again" - Editorial
"I Want It All" - Fandom
"The Show Must Go On" - Thespian
"Getting in Tune" - Music
...you all get it, right?
Avast me hearties, there be a celebration aboard the Limegreen Scourge!
Cap'n Schiz has cooked up some wild plans for a massive on-deck party to which everyone is invited. Boatswain ToMmy has overseen the preparation of a massive feast fit to feed the ferocious appetites of the bloodthirstiest pirates--attendees will enjoy every kind of seafood imaginable, from fish to mollusks to crustaceans. On that note, I'd like to put forth a warning: if ye be wanting any of those steamed clams, you'd
