Everyone should check out bataclan.com!
He makes cute little characters, and leaves paintings all over the world with a little note that says the painting is free if they promise to smile at more people. He also did an "Everything will be alright" series of drop offs, too!

I have CardioTrainer, but it has CalorieTracker as a nice partner to it. I believe in the last week, they created a combined app called "Noom" which has both the CardioTrainer and CalorieTracker apps. It means only one place to log your weight instead of doing it separately.

All I can think of is that scene from Anchorman with the Sex Panther cologne! hahahaha!

Ron Burgundy: Brian, I'm gonna be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline.
Brian Fantana: They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.

Oh my gosh, these are the BEST things ever!
They call them "chicarones" as well, even though these kinds aren't made of pork skins.

I personally like them doused in chili sauce and lemon or lime juice. It's perfect if you get a crunchy one AND a mushy one together...I'm salivating just thinking about it!

I crave these every once in a while, as I'm used to seeing them on the streets of Los Angeles. Unfortunately, they don't have them in Boston.

Someone want to send me a bag to microwave?

I'd have to say that my biggest problem with this is that it's not really teaching anyone anything. Also, anyone have any feelings about the "HIV" Ring on his website?? Yikes...

I've used multiple ways to display it. Taking inspiration from a domino magazine article, I use coat hangers from Anthropologie for my necklaces. The coral ones are great for hanging multiple necklaces on different sections - great if you like to mix it up a lot. I have 2 of the same earring holders that have extra swirlies for larger earrings. For my rings, I use little bowls.

I really have way too much jewelry....time to give away ones I don't wear anymore :)

They're definitely nummy out of the pod, and there's also a tamarind candy that's sweet and sourish that you can find in some Asian markets.

There's also a Filipino dish called sinigang that is basically a tamarind-based soup you can eat with rice. It's my most favorite Filipino dish.

I write about it in my blog, also referencing where ingredients can be bought in the Boston area (not an easy place to be a Filipino cook):

I agree with Marie-Eve and akay...

if you don't close your blinds, you're asking for someone (like me!) to stare into your window :)

Personally, it's like an instant open house - you get to see how others are decorating their homes (clearly, this is a reason I love this website). I live on the 3rd floor, but we're surrounded by other apartments. They can easily look into our windows as well.

On the other hand, it's a great way to get to know your neighbors :) Say hi once in a while!
