culiblog: Google Recipe Finder
culiblog: Google Recipe Finder:
This is the stuff computers are made for. After reading the blog post at the above link, I combined a Butler hotkey combination of "Control+R" with the Google Recipe Finder. I press two keys, a search bar pops up in the middle of my screen, I enter any ingredients from my refrigerator (ie chicken+carrots+ mustard, etc.) and I am instantly presented with the google recipe search results for my ingredients. Does this mean I will be cooking more?
A tip of the hat to culiblog for this trick.

Apple Store: Derby Street
Jesse and I took a road trip to Hingham for the grand opening of the new Apple store at Derby Street yesterday. The line and the wait to get in was surprisingly long, especially considering temps were in the 20's and the wind was howling. They would have done well to get more unconverted Apple fans out. Most of the participants already seemed to be dedicated Apple users. Who else would stand around in the freezing cold for so long?
We did have a good time despite the cold and the wait. We scored new T-Shirts, hit some of the other stores (REI was the highlight for me), and did lunch at Rustic Kitchen... a nice weekend date.

Reel Blues Festival was a Fantastic Show
[mood| 
happy]
The Reel Blues Festival provided a great escape from the monotony last night, and a great first-ever concert for Jesse. The show began with the classic blues of David "Honeyboy" Edwards, who celebrates his 90th birthday this year! I can only hope that I am in his condition at that ripe old age. Next to take the stage, was The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Although the band's members have changed some over the years, these blues-rockers are tight as ever and appear to really enjoy playing with each other (always a great feature in a band). Kirk Fletcher, current guitarist for the Thunderbirds, was the stand out of the performance. I now plan to chase down some of his solo material. Wrapping up the show was the feature artist, Robert Cray. Cray has been one of my favorite artists since the eighties, although he has been performing for many years prior. His band has an extremely tight sound and they put plenty of energy into their performance. At one point, Robert described their next musical offering as "low down and funky!" The show was that and then some. Thanks to a comfortable ocean breeze, the tent had great air-flow and I had no complaints of that sweat-shop like feel I suffer at work. I was left feeling elated, which is where I expect any concert-going event to take me. Jesse especially enjoyed The Fabulous Thunderbirds, but wasn't sure about the middle aged women who chose to shake their booty? in the aisles. Some things aren't meant to be bounced about in public. Other than that, four thumbs up!
