I remember laughing when I discovered that Ma Snook has a CD called Pachelbel’s Greatest Hit… but not as hard as I laughed at this comedian’s rant about the ubiquitous piece. HILARIOUS. (Link courtesy of John.)

Dude, I’m posting from my Wii!! This is decidely cumbersome.

Real Men Wii Standing Up. HA! Only 2.5 hours more until the Christmas holiday officially starts, and I will have four days of uninterrupated Wii and knitting time…

Funny Cat Pictures, again courtesy of the Snook. He says, “These made me laugh til I cried.” (A lot of the captions are extremely geeky and Internet meme-related, so they might not be as amusing to those of you who don’t spend all your time on Fark, World of Warcraft, MetaFilter, and Slashdot.)

JK Rowling has announced the title for the final Harry Potter book: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. What does that even mean, really?

I’ve had a hankering for macaroni-and-cheese for a couple weeks now, so last night the Snook and I decided to try out Delia’s recipe for Souffleed Macaroni Cheese. She describes it as the “best ever,” which sounded pretty good to us. It’s a rather involved process though, and sometimes Delia’s instructions can sound a bit condescending. (For example, she specifies how much water to boil your noodles in.) Our only real problem was that the baking dish we’d heated up was much too small for the volume of pasta we’d prepared. So 2/3 of it went into a nice heated Pyrex baking dish, and the rest went into a cold casserole. If any of you are thinking of trying it out, I’d suggest you go for the biggest, flattest dish you have. You want as much surface area as possible, because the crust is the absolute best part of this dish. The macaroni itself was okay; I’m not a huge fan of Gruyère. But the puffy, crispy, salty (thanks to the Parmigiano) crust is really what makes this special. I’m sorry I don’t have a picture – we dug into it as soon as it came out of the oven! (Another tip: When Delia says “generous” portions, she means it. I doubled the recipe thinking I’d freeze the extra two servings, but really it made like six. And those are six Kristy servings, which really are generous.) So overall I’d probably give this recipe a 7 out of 10. Next time I might try a different cheese and see if that makes a difference…

Knit From Your Stash 2007. I find this idea both intriguing and SCARY-ASS. Only knitting from my stash? For nine months? But… but… what if we get some beautiful new wool in the shop? What if Knitty has a pattern that I simply must make? Truth be told, I do have a massive yarn collection. (I’m onto my fourth large storage box.) And I’ve actually got the yarn for lots of projects I’ve been meaning to do. Can I do it? Do any of you DARE to take the challenge with me?

Behold: The Nativity of the Awesome!

My husband e-mailed me a link today to the “Cats ‘n’ Racks” section of CuteOverload.com. I told him I’m not stuffing Dr. Amy Jones down my shirt. No way, no how.

Did I tell you I got all my hair chopped off again? Because I did.
