Have a Rocking Angus Day

Happy Bday!

NPR picks up the mashup below:

Here's the story

OMG That ROCKS!

I've pointed a lot of people to BoingBoing over the years (I keep the link over there on the right hand column) but incase any of you missed it....

Some mad genius of teh Intrenets took other people's YouTube videos, remixed them and created a seriously rocking jam. Trumpets. Drums. Bass. Guitars. THERIMIN (!).

Enjoy. I'm still shaking my head at the supreme awesomeness.

You asked for it.

Brother Midnight (he so doesn't remember his nickname I'm sure) has questioned my mental health: he claims this blog evidences an "unhealthy obsession with (my) children"

Furthermore he demands more pictures of Kim.



This is the guy who (oh so many years ago) said to me and another friend "Let's have a contest to see who can make Kim their girlfriend"

I won, already.

Move on dude.

Hello old friend

Had to run an errand today...and got to park next to my old car!

Of course, since the dude who bought the Honda works at the Museum with me, I get to see her everyday anyway.

'ch angen beth?*

*TRANS "You want what?"
So heritage day is coming up on Friday for Jake's kindergarten class. Kids are supposed to bring in food that reflects their ethnic heritage.

Since Jake is Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, Japanese from his mom's side, we could bring in just about anything that local kids eat here on a daily basis:

• Mochi


• Musubi


• Haupia


• Kulolo


• Noodles


• Fugu (ok, maybe not an everyday food)

So what does Jake ask for?

"I want Welsh food"

Um.

Dude.

Boiled mutton will not go over well...but I am the kid's dad and will do what I have to do. Fine.

This is why they invented the Internets.

So I was calling around trying to see who has ingredients for Jake’s Welsh dessert request. Hard to find Caerphilly cheese 8,000 miles from its source.

I did find this recipe though:

Cynhwysion
450g o fwyar duon wedi eu golchi a'u sychu
75g o siwgwr brown
150g o flawd codi
75g o fenyn
ychydig o ddŵr
Cyfunwch y mwyar duon, y siwgwr ac ychydig o ddŵr mewn sosban a berwch y gyfuniad am tua 5 munud. Yn y cyfamser rhoddwch y blawd mewn powlen a rhwbiwch y menyn iddo nes fod y gymysgfa fel briwsion mân. Trosglwyddwch y mwyar duon i ddesgil addas i'r popty a rhodwch y gymysgedd crymbl am ei ben.

Trosglwyddwch i bopty wedi ei gyn-gynhesu i 175°C a phobwch am tua 20 munud, neu nes fod pen y crymbl yn euraidd. Gweinwch yn boeth gyda chwstad.

Once again, I'd thank my ancestors for leaving the old country and moving to America where there were plenty of vowels.

I doubt my descendants will be able to take our family’s quest for a low consonant to vowel ratio much farther than Hawai‘i.

We are, at long last, home.
