Lots of Latkes

So Last night I made my annual batch of latkes, however i made one giant mistake. I overestimated how many I had to make.

The recipe you see is very vague it calls for 20 potatoes and 10 eggs "some" flour etc. It doesn't say how many people this will feed or any details like that...so forgetting what a batch looked like i decided to make 1.5 batches.

thats 30 potatoes.

We started shredding them and before i knew it i had potato shreds in like every bowl i own all over my kitchen waiting to be fried. This was RIDICULOUS.

I ended up making less than half of what I prepared and still had plenty of leftovers.

Now I remember...last year I made half a recipe....ooops

Fun Weekend

This weekend I spent a lot of time celebrating Criss family events and it was Awesome. Thier new house is beautiful, but pretty far away. The family church was way closer so that was a bit easier the next day. As always I had a great time.

I may have permanently f'ed my work computer. I dis enabled cookies to be set b/c i realized what extent people could track what I did when i wasnt doing what I am supposed to (like right now with this blog)...but so many pages wont open in firefox with the cookies disabled (like this one which i am using ie right now).

I know what you think...just turn them back on right? well for some reason that doesnt fix it and its permanantly f'ed. guess i'll be using IE more.

Also on this, the second to last night of Hannukah I am leaving work early today and making Latkes! so if you want some feel free to give me a call and swing by tonight :)

The Source of Sickness

None of my friends or anyone i know are sick, so how did i get sick you might wonder? good question!

Well I went to subway in greenway shopping center like a week before I got sick...Every single person working behind the counter was sick that day.

They are literally the only sick people I have come into direct contact with in the past couple weeks.

stupid subway.

GW!

Last night we went to a GW basketball game. My first one of the season...and a lot of things seemed different.

First off the place was so empty...now granted we were playing university of maryland Eastern Shore, but still...back when i went there (i just wanted to say that) we use to come in mass to any game! And line up hours before the game just to get in.

Second The jumbotron, while it has good pictures, no longer pumps up a crowd...things I noticed missing were that they no longer put the lyrics to the fight song up, they dont hype three point shots or "and 1's" etc

Third, the band barely played any of their songs. I kept waiting for "Hey Baby" but it didnt happen.

Fourth, The cheerleaders/dance team barely peps up the crowd anymore.

Ok thats all I can think to complain about right now. But dont get me wrong, I had a ton of fun anyway :)

kashmir

My old Ring tone use to be Led Zeppelin's Kashmir. Great song. Great Ringtone. I recently tried to get that ring tone back, but att no longer offers it, and I think I just found out why.

Verizon now offers this whole led zeppelin package complete with Kashmir ringtone. Infact thats how they advertise it. Sounds like someone heard my phone ring and decided I was on to something.

I guess I'll just stay ahead of the curve with the next awesome ring tone...the office theme song :)

:(

I'm home sick today with a fever :(

the accordian is the single most awesome instrument ever

1. It ALWAYS looks awesome
2. Its always fun to rock out while playing an accordian
3. It works with almost any type of music

Mewithoutyou had an accordian player of course. The same guy that played the accordian was totally hyper and crazy and awesome.

Thrice was a lot better than I thought they'd be. I liked them early on but they kinda lost me at vissaru or however you spell that. But they played a lot of thier more mellow stuff and of course my favorite stare at the sun.

Brand new was last and they were awesome, one of the best times i've seen them (and i've seen them a lot). The funniest part is that I enjoy looking around the crowd to see who the craziest fan is, and The one I happened to pick was none other than Evan Gwinn. Bleach blond hair, bandana, and hanging out with someone of the same style both moshing hard in the pit. It was awesome.

And now I have no voice
