Birthday birthday

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Today is my 26th birthday – time moves fast!

Using 26 candles on the birthday cake seemed like a dangerous project (after all, I am me) so my original plan was to combine a 2-candle and a 6-candle. But as the local super market only had candles with the numbers 0-5 on them that was a no-go. Luckily plan B turned out to be much more fun as you can see. Best birthday cake ever! :)

Food advice

Monday, September 4th, 2006

I am ill. Today has been absolutely horrible. I’ve been lying in bed most of the time wallowing in self-pity. And since I am probably going to die soon, I have decided to give away my few golden advices on food:

  1. Burgers taste best when they are eaten upside down.
  2. Chocolate is good. Stout is good. Chocolate stout is very good!
  3. Food generally tastes better if it belongs to someone else.
  4. If a course doesn’t have a name, think twice before eating it.
  5. Chocolate and sausage goes surprisingly well together.
  6. Cheeseburgers are the best remedy against hangover nausea.
  7. Everything looks better with a cherry on top.

296/375

What do you do when you want to make delicious chocolate truffles but had a chocolate frenzy on the way home from the grocery store and therefore don’t have enough chocolate for a full portion but still want to use every single gram of it? You bring out your TI-89 Titanium calculator and convert every ingredient to a 296/375 portion chocolate truffles.

Despite its cool vector function I don’t think my calculator has ever felt so useful before.
