Submitted By: MichelleDeep Fried Avocados and Baconnaise
January 29, 2010
This might kill you. Probably more quickly than not. I am not a doctor, although I do watch them on tv. This will likely require a follow-up visit to your friendly cardiologist.
Ingredients
2 whole ripe avocados (slightly green is best)
1 egg
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp peppered Bacon Salt
Baconnaise
canola oil
Directions
Prepare deep fryer or pot of canola oil, bring to 375-400 degrees. Cut avocados in half, remove pit. Cut avocado into 1/2" slices. Mix egg well. Soak avocado slices in egg. Mix bacon salt into flour. Dredge avocado slices in flour mix, then add to fry. Fry until crispy brown on the outside. Remove from oil and drain well.
While still hot serve with Baconnaise as a dip.

Good thing I'm not gonna be in any extreme sewing competitions in the near future. I can't sew a straight seam to save my life!

disabling facebook ads in chrome
woot! i'm happy. earlier i installed privoxy to block ads with chrome since there's no adblock plugin yet. for most things, out of the box was fine, but not so with facebook. EVIL ADS!! seriously. so anyway, after lots of digging and swearing at privoxy cause it's not a simple interface, i finally fixed it!!! yay!! and partly for myself when i install it on other machines, and partly for anyone else who hates facebook ads, but likes chrome, here is what i did. (obviously this is for windows since that's all chrome is out for atm)
now, assuming you have privoxy's html configuration editing enabled, you can go to http://p.p (this opens the config files) and click "view & change current configuration". you want to edit user.action. once you're there click the "insert new section at top" button. under actions, click the edit button. this will take you to a list of radio buttons. look through them for your new facebook filter (it should say filter facebook) and click the radio button the enable it (it's the one in the green column). click submit to take you to the previous page and under url patterns: click add. in the dialog box that pops up, you want to type .facebook.com. refresh facebook and your ads should be blocked!!
first, i had to open the default.filters file. it should be in program files\privoxy. you'll probably have to open it as administrator. if you scroll down, there is a section for site specific issues. somewhere in there (just so your file stays consistent) put in this text:
#################################################################
#
# facebook: CSS-based block for facebook side and sponsored ads.
#
#################################################################
FILTER: facebook CSS-based block for facebook side and sponsored ads.
s@</head>@\n<style type="text/css">\n\
/* Style sheet inserted by Privoxy's facebook filter. */\n\
\.adcolumn_wrapper {display : none !important;}\n\
\#home_sponsor {display : none !important;}\n\
\iframe {display : none !important;}\n\
</style>\n$0a
now, assuming you have privoxy's html configuration editing enabled, you can go to http://p.p (this opens the config files) and click "view & change current configuration". you want to edit user.action. once you're there click the "insert new section at top" button. under actions, click the edit button. this will take you to a list of radio buttons. look through them for your new facebook filter (it should say filter facebook) and click the radio button the enable it (it's the one in the green column). click submit to take you to the previous page and under url patterns: click add. in the dialog box that pops up, you want to type .facebook.com. refresh facebook and your ads should be blocked!!

fawkes-o-lantern
Remember, remember the 5th of November....
I made a Guy Fawkes Jack-o-lantern!
Yeah... I'm not the most artistic person so it looks kind of like a pilgrim. Oh well, better luck next year.

apparently i'm going with the one post every three months thing. i've been using twitter lately. it's like one sentence blogging, heh.
i got this little guy the other day. i love it. it's easy to have a camera all the time now. it takes pretty nice pictures. 5mp and stuff, although it's better outside than in. inside, if there's enough light, it's pretty good at taking pictures quick. if i use the flash though, i gotta make sure what i'm taking the pic of is far far away or it gets really overexposed. it's an insanely bright flash. i want to get an eye-fi for it sometime. i haven't even really put any pictures i've taken online yet. maybe i should start keeping like a picture blog. hmmm. of course they'd probably be mostly pictures of my dog and cat. lol. ok ok, i'll start today. here's a picture of something i saw yesterday.

Wow, it's been forever since I posted anything. I guess I haven't been doing anything interesting.
Today I knitted the first thing I ever knitted without a pattern. I'm not a great knitter, but I think it came out ok.
Just in case anyone else wants to make one, here's what i did...
----stem----
co 3
i-cord for a while
put 2 st on holder
----leaf----
repeat for each stitch on holder
1 kfb 2
2 (an all even otherwise marked) p
3 k2 kfb k1
5 k1 kfb k1 kfb k1
7 k
9 k1 ssk k1 k2tog k1
11 k2 bo1 k2
12 bo2 break yarn.
bo2 (i just used a small piece for this)
---making---
bind in extras.
with the two at the top of the stem, i went through each leaf to give it a little more support than the 2 st. from the kfb.
i hope this all makes sense. first try!

freak of nature
today i harvested this freak of nature from my garden. it's the third double tomato i've gotten so far, but this is the first one where you can see the seam so clearly. it looks like the two tomatoes were actually sewn together. weird...anyone have any good things to do with tomatoes? today i'm gonna cut up the cherry tomatoes and toss them in vinaigrette and fresh basil.

have a skull
i knitted this thing the other day. it uses the pattern in Pretty in Punk. it's made with crappy crappy old hand me down red yarn. i mean seriously, this stuff SUCKS. i probably won't be using it again, but oh well. you can't be too picky about free yarn i guess. i like th skull though so maybe i'll put that on some other stuff...

and i'm taking my bobble head pen with me!
i guess i won't be writing any more posts bitching about this job. i just was notified with two hours left on a friday afternoon that it's my last day! and yes, it's fully within their power to fire a temporary worker with no notice. you may think i'm upset, but i'm not really. i have the power to completely understand their position, no matter how much tact they use (or don't). so if anyone needs a web developer or sys admin, don't forget about me!and i'm taking my bobble head pen with me...
even death may die
One thing you should know about me is i'm addicted to google reader. i have hundreds of feeds and read most of them. today, i was reading the how-stuff-works page on the necronomicon. so the necronomicon is an invention of h.p. lovecraft in case you didn't know. it's sort of a dark spell book. well lovecraft has an immense cult following and there are many published books entitled necronomicon. i, in fact, own a copy of the version by simon, which doesn't really stay true to the lovecraft stories, i've heard. this particular version is made up of various occult rituals and sumerian mythology. i haven't read the whole thing, but it's different. if you've ever read the satanic bible or anything, it's kind of like that.so i think it would be kind of cool if stuff like this really existed. if lovecraft really did know about a secret book that gives you immense power. but it would be like those books bound in human skin with a lock that would suck you in if you opened it. oooo
well anyway, i haven't ever read any lovecraft, but i keep thinking i should (i'm not sure if i'd like horror books or not though). i actually learned about the necronomicon from robert anton wilson's books, the illuminatus! trilogy (or was it schrodinger's cat?). one thing that's stuck with me since i read it was this passage:
gestorben ist nicht, was für ewig ruht,or as it is in the necronomicon:
und mit unbekannten aonen mag sogar der tod noch sterben
That is not dead which can eternal lie.
And with strange aeons even death may die.

phoneless iphone
i REALLY want an ipod touch. that thing looks so cool. i can't do browsing or google sms with my phone, so having a browser in my pocket would be awesome... i'm usually around a wifi point. plus multi-touch input! I got to play with an iphone once, and while i wouldn't use at&t or spend hundreds on a phone/contract, i really liked the device. it seems very well done. the screen is just freaking amazing; so bright and high resolution. and the touch input worked just like it does in the videos. it's like it just knows what you want to do.
all right, let's not get carried away. this thing was just released, maybe i should wait till the second iteration. the problem i see now is the 8/16G capacity. wtf is that about apple? the ipod "classic" they're calling it now has a 160G capacity. my current ipod (3rd gen) is 20G (i'm using 13G, don't think i'd want to downgrade my space so much). tell me the next iteration will have at least 20G for the low end model. i just have to wait.... wait... wait...

i'm so boring
this job is so boring. i'm given stuff like once or twice a week to do! so i've decided i'm going to start posting in this thing at work! exciting. shhhh, don't tell. i'm technically supposed to be keeping track of my hours like a contractor, but i usually have to make shit up to fill in the time. you have no idea how many hours i can spend "going over website" or "checking links." fantastic.
moving on...
a couple days ago, we started watching heroes. omg.so.good. we don't have tv so we usually end up watching shows late, but it's nice having an entire season, especially with a show like this. i remember being at nfm during the airing of the season finale. there were crowds of people around the big screen tvs. now i can see why. i did not honestly expect the show to be as good as it is. we're only at episode 7 of 23, but i'm hooked. i love shows/movies with so much interconnectivity. sometimes it gets a little gory, but i can deal with it for the story (kind of like saw). the japanese guys are my absolute favorite. that hiro is so funny. i like the cop too. and when the cheerleader woke up on the autopsy table! that was great. so to anyone who didn't see it the first time around, i recommend downloading the first season and watching it. it's definitely worth it.
