19/20/ I mistook a Corn Flake for a Post Toastie. D'uh!
Ahh...Cracklin' Oat Bran! Best tasting cereal most easily confused with Purina Cat Chow.
Hendrick's Gin: An Old Standby in the New Generation of Gins
I'm a lifelong gin-loather BUT Hendrick's I'll drink in a martini with gusto.
Lovely delicate tasting stuff without that weird juniper-perfumey-nose-burn.
In Videos: Tex Avery's 'The Farm of Tomorrow' (1954)
The "... of Tomorrow" series was always my favorite Tex Avery stuff.
I love how he always *had* to sneak in a ladies leg anyway he could.
Sack Lunch: Cold Sesame Noodles
This recipe is so different than the one I'm used to (Moosewood cookbook)! Cold sesame noodles are my very favorite Summer lunch, so I'll try this pronto!

It's like some sort of crazy food photo dream come true. Seriously.

My honey and I are driving to CC from NYC in two weeks and I'm SO excited to find this list of goodies!
Vintage Cereal Box Gallery
Oh sweet, sweet Quisp. How I loved thee. Several years back I'd order it online six boxes at a tiem and have it shipped...I wonder if I can still do that.
Kaboom was ALWAYS a fave, as was The King.
You can't beat breakfast with the king.
Real Girls Eat Whatever They Want
Screw PETA. screw them and their sexist anti-badonkadonk ways. I'm not sure that there's an organization out there that I *wished* so much I could get in line with that has *ever* pissed me off as much as PETA has over the years.
I'm "real".
I love animals.
I was a vegetarian for years.
I'm not anymore.
Still love animals.
I eat meat and I like it. I try and buy the most local humanely raised/slaughtered meat I can find.
Yeah, the shirt's pretty silly, but so are most of the tees in my collection.
The whole "skinny bitch" thing also saddens me greatly. But, If eating meat guarantees me a tuchus like Jessica Simpson's, then pass the chops.
(Unrelated: in my opinion, Oreos took a big downturn flavor-wise when they took out the lard. Sorry, but it's true.)

Hendrick's Gin: An Old Standby in the New Generation of Gins
At many times in my life, I've felt like Peter Pan - "I won't grow up!"
Gin always brought to mind older businessmen or politicians and their 3 martini lunch. Other than inclusion in a LIIT, gin never crossed my lips.
In May, while visiting Scottsdale, we met friends for happy hour at Frasher's. One friend ordered a round of Hendrick's and created a monster. I enjoyed the taste...much more refreshing than my norm of raz-&-diet 7-up.
While a little pricey for our everyday cocktails, I have been converted to Hendrick's and gin in general.
But, I STILL won't grow up.

Perfect as the primary spirit in the Ramos Gin Fizz.

I occasionally tend bar and we carry Q-Tonic http://qtonic.com/ a tonic made with hand picked quinine and agave, made by gin and tonic drinkers for a wonderful drink. the Q-tonic goes especially well with Hendricks.

I was introduced to Hendrick's by a friend and fell in love with it immediately. It is very simple to open up Hendrick's: get a highball, throw some ice into it, pour in some Hendrick's, splash of tonic, drop a slice of cucumber, sip and enjoy!

@Boscompb: I'd recommend uploading the smaller versions you have stored in iPhoto, and linking to the larger version on your blog.
@Barbara Hanson: As long as it's a delicious-looking photo, we don't care what kind of camera was used to take the photo.

I'm assuming that no toy/lomo cameras are allowed to play.
Dinner Tonight: Tyler Florence's Ultimate Potato Salad
Sounds delicious. I will try it tomorrow.
Sack Lunch: Cold Sesame Noodles
I second the comment re: the Barefoot Contessa Cookbook (possibly one of the BEST cookbooks ever written). She calls them Szechuan Noodles. So great. It helps to have a blender or food processor to combine the many (pantry staple?) ingredients. I make her recipe with Hodgson Mills whole wheat spaghetti. YUM. Love that Ina Garten.
Sack Lunch: Cold Sesame Noodles
I tried this recipe and it was good, however, I found the raw garlic harsh, and it stayed with me the rest of the day. Would recommend sauteing the garlic, ginger, and scallions in 2 TBLS peanut oil for about a minute or two to mellow out the garlic before adding to the rest of the sauce ingredients.
Sack Lunch: Cold Sesame Noodles
Altho' this recipe sounds delish, the one I make often is the one from the original Barefoot Contessa cookbook. I'm not at home with my cookbooks so I cannot compare ingrediants or measurements but i know that it has sesame oil and tahini in i too. Yummmm. I think it has sherry or sherry vinegar too. Check it out. When I'm hosting a simple BBQ dinner party and am seeking to do something other than standard hamburgers/hotdogs/steaks etc i'll serve these noodles, a chinese marinated pork tenderloin and a crispy brocolli salad that is a huge hit with all my friends [a sweetened soy/canola oil dressing , crispy ramen noodles and walnuts (sauteed), brocolli and torn up romain].
