I hate to toot my own horn, but...

This is a milestone post. Number 500! That doesn't include the original blog I maintained.


Blasts from the past:

Check out a sneak peek of a retooling of the V miniseries from the 80s:



The new V begins on 11/3/09.


As for new shows, check out this clip from FlashForward:



I've never watched a lot of stuff from ABC (or CBS for that matter). However, this is a pretty cool new show!




We were entertaining the idea of checking out our best friends' boy's soccer game this morning. However, all games were canceled. It's all about the rain. We've had TOO much. See?

Last night, I was jonesing for something sweet. I didn't feel like going out to buy anything, so I improvised with ingredients that I had on hand. Here's a picture of the "bread pudding" I made last night. I put that in quotes because I didn't use any kind of recipe. Come to find out, most (if not all) recipes use eggs to make a custard-like consistency. Mine is just kind of a gloppy mess. But, it tastes REALLY good! It should with most of a stick of butter and about a cup and a half of sugar (a mix of brown and granulated). Check it out:

I don't watch a lot of TV....

But I love House. Last night's season opener was no exception. This is a great show. Who would've thought there would be a House wiki?

This past weekend was fun. We had a little neighborhood cookout on Saturday. I had the pleasure of attempting to smoke ribs for the first time ever. It was an experiment, but it turned out pretty well. I used this to baste the ribs for part of the last hour (of 5) that they were on the grill...

I've been slacking a little bit in posting, so I have the last two weeks (9/7-9/21) of stuff that the NRC has added to ADAMS regarding Browns Ferry. Just click "read more"...
