I have actually been doing pictures, but have been entirely too lazy to upload them due to a deep and ever-increasing hatred of my wretched scanner. But alas, winter blahs and second-rate technology can't hold up as an excuse for much longer, so I'll start uploading. Here is a doodle that I scanned... at great emotional expense to the management.

Seagal Gull Holiday Treat

2009-12-25T11:11:00.000-08:00

A certain sibling of mine has taken a particular liking to Steven Seagal (founder of Steven Seagal Enterprises) of late. Billed by imdb as "striking and boyishly handsome," Seagal has come a long way from his early days of pure martial arts chop suey bullshit. Those of you who got that reference will undoubtedly enjoy Seagal's "Mojo Priest" blues album and the direct-to-video component of his spellbinding oeuvre. The above was a quick-off-the-press Christmas treat. This is the almost-but-not-quite-done version. More to follow.

In 1982, 5 people died and 73 became gravely ill at a Clarksboro, NJ nursing home after contaminated nog was served on Christmas Eve. But Mr. Lenny Chromo here was intentionally nog-murdered by his wife Hazel after she found out he ran over her beloved cat with the Lincoln. One of these stories is true.

Sea Urchin Gonad Purée
"The gonads of sea urchins are rubbed through a sieve and mixed with an equal volume of thick béchamel sauce (or the two are blended in an electric blender). The purée is simmered for about 5 minutes and some butter is stirred in. For hors d'oeuvres this purée may be spread on croutons fried in butter, sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese, and browned under the broiler. It can also be used to fill small vol-u-vents or the like."
