You Mean the Shoes?


No, hush puppies are a southern delicacy. Corn meal, flour, eggs, buttermilk, and some other ingredients, mixed together and then deep fried in little balls. Best served with east Carolina barbeque and cole slaw. And with an assistant spooning them out of the oil as fast as I threw them in, I made a whole slew of them for our southern food picnic today. Behold my culinary awesomness!

Prophecy Fulfilled

So! Someone once told me that everyone at one point in their auto mechanic career manages to commit a particular mistake while changing their oil. Today, outside my apartment, with the Fit leaning on the curb to allow greater accessibility, I confess I committed that mistake. It became apparent when I saw a pool of black oil collecting in the gutter at the same time I was putting the last quart in. Yes, that's right folks, I forgot to put the bolt back in.
