    Do you use a no-nose saddle? It's definitely something that I'm concerned about. Fortunately, he doesn't have any issues in that department, but I would hate to create any. The dude at the bike shop kind of laughed at me and said that all the employees have kids and use normal saddles and that it's been largely debunked, but I am not convinced. Better safe than sorry. Where can he try out some penis-friendly seats?

    What's the best new burger place?
    Img_0355_small

    Uneeda Burger has been around for about a year (I think?), but it is AMAAAAAAZING. I ask for the "Lindy West Orgasm Burger" and they laugh and give me the best damn burger I've ever had. Also, the management is really friendly, and when I've made suggestions, they've actually listened and implemented changes if they think it's a good idea. That's damn good customer service, and I appreciate it.

    What new unusual or non-standard new years resolutions are you making?
    Img_0355_small

    Last year my only resolution was to eat more dark leafy greens. I'm pleased that I was successful - I've been eating kale, chard, spinach, mustard greens, bok choi, and watercress at least 2-3 times a week.

    I don't have a good resolution yet for this year. I tend to give myself until the end of January to figure something out, but it will be easily measurable, concrete, and within reach.

    I can't donate blood, because I lived in Europe for several years in the 80s and there are BSE (mad cow) concerns.

    What laser printer should I get?
    Img_0355_small

    I have this one:

    http://www.amazon.com/Brother-Printer-HL2270DW-Wireless-Monochrome/dp/B00450DVDY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322980269&sr=8-1

    and I really really like it. I don't print frequently (a few pages a week? Maybe?) and it works well for me. It took us maybe 6 months to use up the initial starter cartridge, and then we bought a super-huge cartridge that claims it will print something like 2000 pages or 5000 pages. We've been using it for the last 6-9 months (I really don't remember) and it's still going strong.

    What are you going to be on Halloween? :)

    I'm not going as anything, but we're dressing our three-year-old daughter up as Bender. We've even taught her to say, "Bite my shiny metal ass!"

    Mocha frapp light
    Img_0355_small

    So in my experience, the key to a good knock-off frapp is two things:

    1) a really really good blender - I use a VitaMix, you could also use a BlendTec

    I tried using my old Oster blender, and it's just not the same. It doesn't break the ice down into small enough pieces to get that velvety, milkshake/smoothie-like texture. The texture is a large part of the frapp "experience" and it won't be right if you don't use the same type of blender.

    2) Xanthum gum. I get mine from the baking aisle at Whole Foods - it's about $12 for a bag with a cup or a cup and a half in it. I use it up 1/4 t at a time, so one bag will last a really really long time.

    Here is a recipe for a homemade frapp that is a pretty good imitation. For a mocha frapp light, you should sub sugar-free chocolate syrup for the sugar and experiment from there.

    They've actually changed the frapp formulation recently - you can now get decaf, nonfat, soy, etc. It's fully customizable.
