Damn its windy.

You know you live in a building that was built by the cheapest contractors when the corners of the windows aren't at right angles. Not really a problem until the wind picks up and starts to howl from the small cracks in the window frame!

And don't get me started on the walls.. which are all flat - which is ok until the tiler used bubble gum to glue the tiles to walls.

bah hum bug.

Nissin Ads

I've always wanted to make noodles the traditional way.



I too want to eat noodles with the wind in my hair, while a camera revolves around me in the middle of the office.



Better yet.. gravity free... with no border.


For the inner-neoanderthal in all of us.

peace will come to the world when the people have enough to eat

(Friday 5th January 2007)

Regular readers will know of my love of Nissin noodles. So it is with a heavy heart that I must announce that the founder of my beloved Nissin noodle, OSAKA (Kyodo) Momofuku Ando, has died aged 96.

He invented the instant noodle after seeing a line of solders (during World War 2) waiting to buy some black market ramen. It was the realisation that "peace will come to the world when the people have enough to eat" according to Nissin Food Products Co.

ANDO, may your noodle never be short.
Your broth always hot.
and your stomach never empty.
Long live your instant noodle.

I'd like to think...

I'd like to think that I'm a photographer, but after looking at this series of pictures I just know I don't have what it takes!

... I think Prince said it best: "perhaps I'm like my father too bold old..." or perhaps I'm just too sane.

Stonehenge

Scientists haven't really discovered how our forefathers have created such engineering marvels like Stonehenge or the pyramids in Egypt. But this guy has discovered methods so simple that they might have been used to construct these marvels.

Blender Beautiful.

Yum is the word I think of when I think of my little magic bullet.

Rewind...

Back in January I remember sitting in a hotel room in Hawaii watching the infomercials about the Magic Bullet Blender. I vowed to own one one day.

Fast forward to the present... (well actually a few weeks ago)

Danoz Direct has them (the original) for over $165 plus $59 postage, and you get one free.

HA! I did better.

Wonderful chinese copies. House of clones. Cheap ass deals. And a visit to Home Art in Hurstville saw me the proud owner of a cheap rip off. $40 was how much I paid for my copy.

So how do you like your smoothies? Personally I like mine with the pulp. Do you? What do you like to put in them?

In the picture above there's oranges, strawberries, pear, carrot and yoghurt. Sure beats going over to Westfield and paying over $5 for one.

Lets see... $40 / $5 = 8. Thus (excluding cost of ingredients) 8 smoothies later I have paid for my magic bullet.

PS. If you look at the Danoz link above, it says you can chop onions in 3 seconds. I tried. I ended up with a onion smoothie. YUK!
