Flight of the Conchords

Here’s a pretty funny video by Flight of the Conchords, a New Zealand-based comedy duo. When you’re done with this one check out their other stuff. (Rated R – sort of…)

Pizza

I made this yummy pizza the other day and it turned out great. I’ve been making a lot of pizzas lately, it’s actually much easier and faster than you would think. Unfortunately I didn’t use a recipe for this one so I’ll have to share a general guide from what I can remember:

  • Cut up a bunch of garlic and cover it in olive oil, set aside for later
  • Make pizza dough, I used whole wheat flour but you could use whatever you want, pizza dough is really forgiving. Knead in rosemary, a few chopped cloves of garlic and some finely chopped hot peppers. Set aside to rise.
  • Thinly slice some onions and eggplant.
  • Roll out the dough, sprinkle a cookie sheet with cornmeal, put the dough on the cookie sheet.
  • Preheat the oven to 450F
  • Spread a bit of olive salad on the dough, sprinkle on the onions, layer the eggplant on top.
  • Bake for about 30 mins.
  • Take it out, grate Romano cheese on top, put it back in for another 10 mins.
  • That’s it!

Don’t tase me bro

I’m sure a lot of people have already seen this but I just did for the first time and it made me feel sick (so obviously I thought I’d share it!).  People shouldn’t be treated like this for asking questions of politicians.
