Like Veal but Different

I found this recipe. It says it is for German or Dutch babies, but I think you could modify it to work with whatever baby you had on hand.

Ingredients:
3 eggs, room temperature 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup
all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp salt 2 tblsp butter, melted
2 tblsp lemon juice confectioner’s sugar Butter either
one 12? ovenproof skillet, or four 6? ovenproof
skillets (pie or cake pans may be substituted). Beat
the eggs until thoroughly mixed. Add the milk and
blend well. Sift together flour and salt, and add
slowly but continuously to the egg mixture, whisking
as you do so. Add the melted butter, and whisk til
batter is smooth. Pour into pan or pans and bake at
450 for 15 minutes.

The four small German babies will be done at this
point. The one large one requires another 10 minutes
of baking, with the oven reduced to 350. After
removing from the oven, sprinkle with the lemon juice
and dust with confectioner’s sugar. Serve at once
while hot.

Strange that they didn’t mention exactly what size baby to use, but I guess you just have to experiment till you get it right.

Bon Appetit!

The book, I mean.

Willkommen

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

Today we welcome a new birth in the family.

Yeah, I know it’s only been five months since my last child was born, but I try not to let that bother me.

In this case the family I am referring to is the AllGuinness family. A new member has joined this motley crew over at Green Light. Joining our members from New York and Los Angeles and Sacramento (and would be Korea, but alas not), Martin is going to be writing from outside Chicago, and providing that down-to-earth mid-west perspective, or something.

I’m not really sure what his primary topics will be, but here’s hoping that there is more activity there than over at Oldboy.

Check it out early and often.

Coming to You Live from the Geek-O-Sphere

Friday, July 6th, 2007

First off, news that only a specific kind of geek will give a damn about. The Wand is coming off of Spaceship Earth. If that sentence made no sense to you, then you wouldn’t care even if you knew all of the details. Trust me though when I say that this is certainly big news to geeks of this kind. For example: Here, here, and here.

I’ve had the iPhone for almost a week now, and I must say that it lives up to all the hype. It is far better than any similar device out there, and a real pleasure to use. Even AT&T’s Edge network is less awful than I expected, though being at home with the wifi is much better, of course. The real genius is not the individual application but rather the seamless ease of use of the thing as a whole. I can’t say enough about this thing. If you have the means, I highly recommend it.

I also got the Garmin Nuvi 350 which seems similarly easy to use, though I haven’t had much of an opportunity to run it through its paces yet. Maybe this weekend I’ll try and go out for a drive and see how well it works.

This is my second post in as many weeks. Might be coming up on some kind of record.
