I’m still reeling from the Saints loss on Saturday. It was brutal. And I got really upset.  To get myself out of this funk I’m going to attempt my first KING CAKE since we are in Mardi Gras season afterall. I’ve been searching for recipes high and low and found a few, but what I really want is a McKenzie’s King Cake (above) because they were THE BEST. I grew up eating these as a child, and no amount of white frosting or fruit filling can turn me away from a plain McKenzie’s King Cake.  For those playing along, I would happily just have my mother send me one, but McKenzie’s went out of business (sadface). And the only bakeries that ship king cakes charge an arm and leg ($40 minimum) and have the dreaded white frosting (see below), and aren’t really that good in general. You even have to assemble them yourself!. So, I’m taking matters into my own hands and making one. I’ve found what is supposed to be the McKenzie’s recipe, but it’s got a little gibberish in it and mentions something about fillings, so I’m not sure it’s the real one.  I’ll hopefully make it tonight, assuming I want to deal with yeast and dough rising after I get home from work. There will be pics :) THROW ME SOMETHIN, MISTER!

thescienceofrealities: Want to See Every Tree in America? “We may sing about purple mountains and amber grains, but one of America’s most vital resources is its vast amount of carbon-catching, oxygen-spewing trees. Now, after six years of effort, NASA knows how many we’ve got. Josef Kellndorfer and Wayne Walker of Woods Hole Research Center worked in conjunction with the National Geological Survey and US Forest Service to catalog a mix of data gleaned from space-based radar, satellite sensors, computer models, and old-fashioned tree counting. The map above shows the total amount of woody biomass in the USA. It’s displayed at a 30 meter resolution, where every four pixels constitutes an acre and every ten represents a hectare.” [NASA Earth Observatory viaBusiness Insider via Geekosystem]

Pinterest is so dangerous. It leads me down the rabbit hole of weddings and babies.

Tumblr, can you help me out?

And by Tumblr I mean THOSE THAT WORK AT TUMBLR.

I would love to participate in the black out on January 18th as a indication that I very strongly oppose SOPA. If it’s not too much to ask, can you create a really stupid-easy way for me to do that with my tumblog? Like, a check box or something? I’m afraid I have no idea how else to do it.

Bonus points if instead of my blog there’s a message/widget/link encouraging people to let Congress know they oppose SOPA as well.

Your friendly anti-sopa blogger, Michelle :)

Alright, it’s a little clunky, but I put up the POPVOX tell Congress you oppose SOPA widget on my blog. If you haven’t already, go fill it out! It’s incredibly easy.
