I have been really lame lately when it comes to blogging. Twitter has been stealing my blogging ideas with the ease of using TweetDeck and TwitterBerry. Here’s a quick one that I won’t let Twitter steal.

I didn’t see SNL last night, but I just saw the opening skit via the Chicago Tribune web site, of all places. Tina Fey did a great job as Palin. Check it out:

Hopefully I will be less lame in the future.

Update: Not even an hour later, and I am foiled. YouTube pulled the clip from last night. Here’s NBC’s clip, which is of better quality, but it has a pre-roll ad:

Update: Argh! NBC sucks. Not only did they get the clip pulled from YouTube, but their embed code doesn’t even show the correct video. Here’s the actual page where the video is. Don’t click on the ads. Stupid NBC.

I’m going to make this really quick. Last week I learned a lesson about cooking the hard way. I was making a pot roast (the same recipe Hersch taught me). Actually, I was making two pot roasts to cover the number of people I was expecting for dinner. I was finally at the last stage – reducing the broth to a nice, thick sauce/gravy. This was something I had expected would take fifteen minutes or so to reduce, but because I had used the broth from both pots, it took well over an hour to reduce. So, long story short, I have learned that I must reduce sauces in much smaller quantities if I expect them to reduce in any reasonable amount of time. I’m sure other people knew this already, but it certainly hadn’t hit me until it was far too late to do anything about it. Sometimes, as smart as I am, I can do some stupid things.
