Chippies!

Its nice when friends share your obsession.

Some years ago we tried a packet of 'Kettle Potato Chips' in the US of A. And quite honestly they are some of the best chips e have tried.

So for the last few years whenever anyone has gone to the states we have requested chips and tequila. (the tequila is another post..)

Just get a pack or two, use a pin to prick a small hole in the packet, deflate it and reseal the hole with tape. Drip it into a a box and post it off to Paul and Suzanne! More fun than char-grilled dough nuts!


Anyway, thanks to Larissa, who now lives in Singapore, we received a surprise package this week.


Yes thats $11.55 postage..

Worth it? Yes indeedie, and we can make a packet last for weeks.

Duudeee.

Julee Cruise

I've just found a version of Julie Cruise covering 'Its The End Of The World As We Know It.'

Strange.

More fun than a puppy.

Well, Suzanne and I have managed to keep Morgan alive for just over a month now, Queensland health will probably send us a gold star for our ‘How to keep your child alive’ chart.

Speaking of gold stars, the federal government promptly sent us 4000 gold stars within a week of registering the little fella, although MBF was first off the rank to update its plastic card with Morgan’s name.

So, what do you do with the baby bonus? We had grand ideas of opening a bank account with the money, but he’d only cash it in sometime in the future so he can go cross country/interstate/overseas while perusing/being pursued by bail bondsmen/ex-lover/best friend/wrongly convicted girlfriend/boyfriend. See, that stuff happens all the time, although I always missed the opportunity to go into a bank vault, open a safety deposit box so I could retrieve a large A3 sheet of paper that had written on it Saving Bond’ or ‘Shares’. I could mock up something and then just glue key-card to the back of it? I could also soak it in tea and burn the edges. Oooh, how about a treasure map, Goonies style.

Pushing Daisies.

Ok, so there is no more 'Studio 60', so I have a new favorite TV show..

From the Wkki:

Pushing Daisies is a "forensic fairy tale" that focuses on Ned, a piemaker with the mysterious ability to make the dead live again. The gift is not without its complications—if he touches a revived being a second time, they die permanently; and if a person is revived for more than 60 seconds, somebody else nearby dies. ("It's a random proximity thing") Ned, along with his private investigator friend, Emerson Cod, and his childhood sweetheart, the once-dead Charlotte Charles, whom he likes to call "Chuck", capitalize on the gift by reviving the dead murder victims to ask them about their last moments so they can collect rewards.

Early critical acclaim

The pilot, before it officially aired, was well-received by critics who were able to screen it. TV Guide's Michael Ausiello claimed that "ABC has found its next Lost!" upon review ^[6] and the series has also been touted as "the fall show with the most spring buzz" ^[7] by many, including the trade publication Variety ^[8]. New York Magazine also provided it with a rave review, calling it "funny, imaginative and smart" while also claiming it "boasts Gilmore Girls-speed wit".^[9]
