Broccoli & Cheetos Recipe. Really.
On Christmas Eve, I had this dish in all its glory at Park Avenue Winter. It was outstanding. Sure, it sounds a bit, um, lowbrow, but the sauce is remarkably complex and the Cheetos add a delightful texture. There, now I feel like one of those random guests in a Top Chef challenge.
Anyhow, Sari found the recipe in a magazine and so I’m posting it here for posterity. And so y’all will...

saynotocosmo:
This is the article that gave me my idea to declare war on Cosmo. In the December 2010 issue, there is a short little article that claims to give awesome pickup tips from guys that work in different pickup locations: the supermarket, the gym, a restaurant, a coffee shop, and the library. Not only…

Getting bumped could earn you $1300 →
sianlikeshawn:
After reading the article I’m a little confused, if you volunteer to get off the flight do you still get the cash or is that just if you’re bumped involuntarily?

Very poorly written, but interesting info on the cost of overbooking air travel.
This is important, folks. As someone who once benefited from this rule to the tune of $450, KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. (Or text me when flying, ala Joy)
The rule is that if you get bumped and the airline can get you to your destination within two hours of your original scheduled arrival time, you’re...

meredithbklyn:
There’s a lot of Bethenny love going around tumblr lately, so this seems relevant. One thing I love about her: brutal honesty. $120 million off of reality TV. and she’s not ashamed. nor should she be.

Vote for my friend's apartment on Apartment... →
easilyportable:
And contrary to the nasty comments people have left on his entry page, 1) yes, his apartment is real, and 2) he is not cheating.
I have been to this apartment. It is awesome. And worth a vote. Or a five. :) It takes a second to register, but I have received 0 spammy emails from Apartment Therapy for doing so.
VOTE!

Technology blows my mind.
Have y’all seen this new feature gmail has? The whole, “Also Include” thing where if you compose an email to one person, it suggests people you might want to include? It’s a little disarming and a smidge Big Brother but then, I went to write Kristin and, well… something awesome happened:
At least it knows, right?
