Food Porn
Nothing is better than eating delicious food.
Making delicious food comes in a close 2nd place.
Now, LOOKING at delicious food...definitely 3rd place.
I've been scoping this website Food Porn Daily for a while now. Pretty much endless great photos of excellent-looking gourmet food. The tag-line says it all. "Click, drool, repeat." There are even some recipes (not nearly as much as there should be) so you can make some of this food and attempt at having it turn out as visually glorious as the photographs. Odds are it won't, but it'll prob taste awesome. I don't think I've come across anything on there that I wouldn't devour. It's a good website when you're bored or hungry. Also, it's nice when you aren't that hungry, but should be - it will definitely make you starrrrrving. Only problem is that the photos go in the same direction, meaning you will always get the same pictures after each other - in other words, they aren't on "shuffle". But, I'd recommend waiting a couple days and going back to the site, so you have a bunch of pictures in a row you've never seen.
A new 'food porn' site I found and like is the A Hamburger Today blog. Seems to be a daughter site of "Serious Eats", which I haven't examined as much, because, frankly, I could eat burgers all day, as you might assume. This blog had burger news, recipes, reviews, and photographs from restaurants, burger shacks, and chefs all over the world. It even has a section for normal people like you and me to upload pictures of burgers they've had or seen.
If you like food, and burgers. DEFINITELY get hooked on those two sites. Mouthwatering shtuff right there.
Here's a burger from Jersey City's own White Mana
Mmmmmm...
Happy Trails,
Eric

Man vs. Food
Man vs. Food is one of the best shows on TV. The host is a real funny dude who goes city to city taking on ridiculously good/spicy/big signature dishes from cool food places. I think I watched 3 episodes tonight. The last one I saw, he ate the Special #2 at some ramen noodle place. It had somethin like 6 big teaspoons of super hot signature "SPICE" mix. He faced off against a bodacious set of firedancer babes who did not stand a chance against his masterful eating skills. This show is on the Travel Channel on Wednesdays after LOST. So, I guess that means 10pm eastern time.
CHECK. IT. OUT.
Oh yeah, and Gogz says "They're droppin' Shark Week all over the place...
...What's better than food? Honestly..."
You said it, Bri-man. There is nothing better than food.
I leave you with Man vs. Food host Adam Richman's words:
"Luckily, I don't get scared...I get hungry."
See you next time!

jack moves
Ok, so I've been known to preform small, innocent jack moves in the past, but they've always been kinda justified, in my opinion, at least. recently, a Wii-mote and two open tubes of face wash were stolen from the house. Why the fuck? Good thing I had a backup bottle. As for Brendan's wiimote, that just really sucks. Peoples be scummy sometimes.
It is another beautiful day. Maybe nice weather gets me in the mood to blog. Today, I gotta go observe an animal in its natural habitat and hypothesize about one of its adaptations. That sounds like a great thing to do right now.
"I passed out way early last night," said Jared.
"Me too," I replied.
12:15 is too early haha.
Apparently, Rami had poor man's food last night. 3 sandwiches of cold pork-n-beans on sliced wheat bread with Sriracha and grated parmigiano. Nice job Rami.
February 1st eh? only 1 month and 26 days until Lindsay and I celebrate our big 2-0. Is 2-0 even that big? maybe not...BUT WE SHALL MAKE IT.
So it's Super Bowl Sunday. Football, Beer, and Eats. I cannot wait.
duuuuuuuude I love the breeze.
later!
frooooooom Errriccccccccccc

N-E-S-T-L-E-S doesn't make the very best...
...I DO, MO'FUCKA!
I just baked some delicious chocolate chip cookies. My first time baking home-made chippers, and I gotta say, they came out pretty good. I included 1 full cup of Hershey's semisweet morsels, 1 full cup of Diamond chopped walnuts, some eggs, other shit, and a whole lot of love. End result = mouthgasm. Is making yourself cookies that give you mouthgasms considered masturbation? Possibly. Am I ashamed? Hell No.
Hello again. I say this as if you've read what I wrote before this sentence at the time I wrote it, which was probably almost two hours ago. Anyway, I am finishing this post, but have a new story to add!
I'm sitting here blogging...(I now realize why I paused the post)...and I see my Lava Lamp next to me. It dawned on me that I hadn't turned it on in a very long time, so while I was sitting next to it, I figured I'd pop it on and get all...psychedelic? I don't know. I just felt like seeing it, plus I had weed on the brain and I haven't smoked in about a week, so I figured "why not". Funny thing about weed...
After a short while of seeing no bubbly-ness in the bottle, I got a little impatient with the lamp as I normally do, and checked to see if the bulb was heating up alright. I lift the bottle from the base (where the bulb is, of course) and POOF! like a genie from a lamp, a little plume of smoke pops out of the base. "THAT probably isn't good," I think to myself, and open up my window, turn my ceiling fan on full blast, and pull the plug on my blue Lava Lamp. I thought the thing had broken and some electrical spark set something on fire in the base. It hadn't hit me until I really focused on how the smoke smelled - WEED! I looked inside the base, and sure enough - a little pink gram-bag of crappy weed from who-knows-when was chilling - NO - MELTING onto the bulb and still smoking. I vaguely remember hiding weed from my parents in there (like an idiot) some time ago, but I'm not sure how long ago it was. Like I said, I hadn't used the Lava Lamp in a long time. So now after picking the melted bag off of the bulb, flushing it, and spraying the air, the smell of vaporized weed is clear from my room, and I am left with no pot to actually smoke. Wouldn't that have been a nice surprise though, say, if I had for some reason lifted up the bottle BEFORE turning the lamp on? Ah, well... a lesson was learned. Never put weed in such a weird spot that you forget about it and almost burn something more valuable down (dresser, room, house, etc.) Could you imagine if I had left the room? Bad news.
Now it's time to watch something for free on the internet. That's always good. I think I'll go get a couple cookies from before to accompany whatever I might tune-in to. Goodnight!
