It’s because you hate fun and are generally a terrible person otherwise.

Get back to me when you want to join us at the grownup table.

harraton asked: Yes. Gin and tonic, please.

Also, what color crayons tasted the best up your nose.

Seriously, when helium and oxygen molecules are mixed, does the helium separate from the oxygen? The mechanical engineers couldn't figure it out. I thought the helium would rise, but some thought that the molecules would remain diffuse.

I don’t think you need any more gin and tonics if you think noses are for tasting, drunkie.

I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation that has to do with peevnert (PV = nRT) but I’m no good with numbers so I’ll just wing it.

If I had to guess, at room temperature and in a fairly large/non-ideal container, helium would be mixing it up with all the other molecules. In my experience, helium is a troublemaker. Whenever I breath it in it shrinks my junk and I can tell because it makes my voice higher.

Do you honestly think a bully would just hang out near the ceiling all by itself?

Noble gas indeed.

Lots of times circumstances are out of your control. You can let your circumstances shape who you become. Alternatively, you can take stock of the situation and adjust the rudder for the correct course. Storms don’t weather me.

So I guess you’d say I was “shredding the gnar” at Vail Pass today. But seriously. Freshies a plenty.

theresa-c asked: Let me know how making the sauce goes! I've wanted to make it ever since I saw that entry but I haven't had time to go shopping.

My first “question”! Thanks Theresa! So when’s that HookupCo…AHEM

The sauce making went fine. If you’re a guy, you can just pretend that the tomatoes, butter and onion are water that takes a really long time to boil. Just remember to not boil your pasta for the same amount of time. Ha. Oops.

I followed Neven’s recommendation and didn’t add anything to the sauce. I quite enjoyed it. It’s delicious on toast, and, as a recent post on Salt and Fat points out, it’s brilliant to poach eggs with. Also, as Neven said, it’s simple to spice it to your taste.

A can of tomatoes is what, $2? Butter is fairly cheap and so are onions. That, in addition with the ease of preparation makes for a staggeringly low opportunity cost. So yes, this recipe is definitely worth a go.
