G’morning everyone, Hope you had a great weekend, lets get the week started with something really sweet! I just wish my girlfriend had the guts to try this with me…

Is it bad that after walking out of the theatre the 3rd time seeing Avatar, that I was starting to catch common phrases and word meanings out of what they were saying in their own language? Most likely! Well now they’ve created a website which has a listing of the 500 or so words created for the fictional language for people just like me. I just know that Na’vi is going to catch on more than Klingon did… Time to learn! I give it a week before my girlfriend dumps me for only talking to her in a language she doesn’t understand…  WORTH IT! (I’m just kidding sweetie, please dont dump me)

It suggests that you use wooden skewers as ammo on this badass office crossbow, but I’m totally bending some large paperclips right now to make into darts. Too bad my assistant is on holiday’s for the next month… I’d totally have her make 6 dozen of those things! Hit the jump for the full instructions on how to make your own badass crossbow for the office…Its just an excerpt from John Austin’s must-read new book Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Here is another project that I really want to try! Infact I think I will! I’ll post pictures once it’s done… Gonna put soil in the bulb and seeds in the soil, we’ll see if it works

Any suggestions of what type of seeds I should plant in such a tiny space? looking for a smaller plant though. Throw me your suggestions!via Reusing Lightbulbs: as planters or mini terrariums

While I was growing up, every Christmas our family would enjoy a large family gathering and an Italian dish called Anolini. When I decided I would make some to quench my 5 year long craving I ran into a few problems. First I couldn’t spell Anolini or Annalini or whatever (…Gah! I’ve made my point!) so trying to locate a recipe online proved to be more difficult than you would first think! And second I couldn’t get the recipe from my Aunt who used to make the dish, because she’s currently in Italy. How ironic. Sorta. I also had a bit of a hunch that maybe the name that has been assigned to it within my family, may not be the official name… which may have also lead to the difficulty in locating anything online to help me out. Rather than be beaten by old memories and lack of contact with those who count, I’ve gone ahead and made a recipe out of a few others with the help of my Father (thanks dad!). My hope is that by now posting it online, other people can locate a good Anolini recipe. After the short break there will be a full recipe with pictures of my progress in trying to make my favourite past-time Italian Christmas dish.

The crazy cooks over at Luxirare have outdone themselves this time. What happens when you mix my favourite dessert with a lollipop? Nothing short of genius! Check out the almost artistic pictures and a link to the full gallery after the break…

I am totally skipping out on work tomorrow to make 6 dozen of these bad boys… They come with the power of vegetables too! Imagine making a salad for a dinner party and putting a bunch of these little guys into the salad. You’ll be seen as just as awesome as me! (well not quite, but it’ll definitely help).

A link to the full instructions can be found on AnnaTheRed’s flickr gallery for the little guys. Reminds me of the truffle mice I bake every year for christmas actually.

Is it bad that I already found a suitable picture to do this with? I know.. I lack creativity. But this is a sweet looking garbage can, in a pizzeria in New York.
