DFW Sketch 001

I've made it my new year's resolution to post new content to this blog every day in 2009. Should be a big switch, considering the highly sporadic nature of my posting in the past two years.

To meet this end, I've already got the content. I spent 6 weeks in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and filled up pages of notebook paper with sketches. Without doing this, I would have gone completely insane. But now I've only gone partially insane, and you'll get to enjoy the results.



I have more or less kept them in the order in which they were drawn. I hope you enjoy them. I may give descriptions or comments on some, but mostly I'll just leave it up to you.

I don't mean to brag, but . . .

. . . I'm really good at tennis on Wii Sports.

I thought my score would be capped at 2000. Turns out, it's not.

Full Metal Chocolate Chili Ice Cream

I bought an ice cream maker a couple months ago, and since then I've been looking for new and interesting ice cream recipes. I ran across several recipes for chocolate chili ice cream, which sounded kind of strange but promising. I devised my own simple recipe based on proportions I found in other recipes, mixed it up and froze it right before I came here to write this--and it's delicious.

Ingredients

- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups whole milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (baking cocoa)
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons chili powder

Instructions

Very simple: put all the ingredients in the ice cream mixer, whisk them together thoroughly and freeze according manufacturer's directions.

Yield: About 1 Quart

I know it sounds like a lot of chili powder, but trust me on this one.

Happy 1st Birthday . . .

. . . to my son, Link!

I've scheduled this post to show up at the same time he was born, but I think this blog's clock is set to the wrong time zone.

Happy Mother's Day!

To my mom, my wife, my mother-in-law, and my grandmother.
