Robb + Jessie Married & in the Badger State
Sunday Breakfast
Did I mention how much I love Rose Carrarini’s cookbook?
Dear friends of ours, Joel & Heather, bought us this cookbook (and a popcorn popper!) for our wedding. It’s perhaps the best cookbook I have ever used!
I couldn’t sleep in this morning so I got up earlier than Robb and made breakfast. But what? I turned to my helpful green book
For breakfast we had scrambled eggs, a banana smoothie, crusty bread with jam, and French pressed coffee.
Again, I wish we had photos, but we were so hungry it was gone in a matter of bites!
The key to amazing eggs is heavy cream. Delicious.
Bon Appétit!
Stuff White People Like
Jessie just sent me Stuff White People Like, and I’ve been cracking up ever since. Simply:
“This blog is devoted to stuff that white people like”
Since I like everything on there, I must be a really, really white person.

Robb and I devoured a handsome and delicious quiche last night. I used a recipe from Breakfast, Lunch, Tea: Rose Bakery for their savory tart dough and creme filling. We had a variation of one of her recommendations: Bacon, Cheddar, Parmesan, and Asparagus. It is a shame it was so good, otherwise I would have posted a picture.
The crust recipe makes enough for three tart pans. I used one third for our dinner last night and then prepared my mini tart pans for future desserts or savory dishes. I am not sure, will my desserts taste odd in a savory crust? I hope not. There is enough butter in it to make it delicious.
This Friday is a very important day. It is Pi Day! (3.14). We plan to celebrate with a few round pies and tarts! Stay tuned for what we actually create. Hurrah!
Custom Leopard folder icons
I made a new DNA folder icon for my work-related documents to distinguish it from the other folders on my dock or in the Finder. If you are interested in downloading it, you can do so here.
The original inspiration for creating my own Leopard folder comes from this page which shows how you can pretty much turn any image that looks good in 1-bit into a great Leopard icon that fits right in with the rest of your folders.
UPDATE: I also threw together one for Jessie’s work.
UPDATE: In the comments George mentions an icon tool he created that simplifies the process. I took a quick look at it and it seems to work well.
Public Enemy
I applied for a non-speaking extra role in the new Michael Mann film, “Public Enemies”, starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, which is filming in Madison. So far, I’ve made it through the first few selection steps and now this photo is headed for the director’s desk. Keep your fingers crossed and you might see my face for a split second on the silver screen in 2009.
The reason my hair is slicked back and I’m wearing a suit is because the casting company had extremely specific instructions for the photos they wanted from me.
