Good Eats

School is done for a whole week or more and so last night, I had to entertain myself for a change. Of course we all know the best way to entertain yourself is to contract it out to others. My self-entertainment lead me to Hulu. I was quite excited to find there were six new episodes of something in my cue. Since I have only subscribed to really awesome shows, I knew it was going to be good. Sure enough. I was rewarded with cleaning my room while learning all about Alton Brown's wonderful antics in his show: Good Eats.
Fast forward to this morning: I wake up at 10:30 (remember that there is no school) and wouldn't you know it, I am hungry. What is a fellow to do? Well entertain myself again with making a tasty recipe from the very show I recently saw. I did tweak it a bit to suit my circumstances. We didn't have nuts so I used oats, and I just made one big crumble instead of individual whatzits like Mister Brown did.
The result was quite tasty. I didn't think to record the results for you my blog viewers, but really the only thing I would change is the ratio of berries to crumble mixture. It was a bit dry and not as fruity as I wanted it to be. Perhaps some of you would like to share your culinary experiences?

Here is a lamp I made using folding techniques and a pattern from an interesting book.

There are 12 differences between the two photos. Can you find them? can you also find:
baseball
snail
horse
artist's brush
lizard
wishbone
and the Easter Bunny.

Good luck!

Some of you have said you would be interested in me writing a blog about non-math stuff. That is what this is - except that I will probably forget about that restriction at some point.

Right then: The other night/morning, I was driving home. It had been a great day full of all things that make life great! But the weather got cold and snowy and I nearly died! Fortunately for myself, I survived and it is a good thing I did because I would have missed out on this.
 My family has a tradition of finding new traditions and casting off the old boring traditions of the yester-generations. Chopping is the latest one and even the little ones can get in on the action! Its quite fun.
