bourbon peach hand pies (5)
on smitten kitchen (129) permalinkOver a year ago, I made hand pies and declared them a delicious disaster. The pie dough wasn’t bendy enough to suit what I had in mind, and they too easily leaked and broke, but that had no effect on the final taste. Nevertheless, I promised to try them again soon, with one of three dough recipes I had in mind that would work better. But that wasn’t the only reason. You see the hand ...Contribute comment

Coming Soon: Wider Sidewalks and Slower Traffic on Valencia (2)
on Mission Mission (70) permalinkOver at The Snitch, Masha Rumer tells us about an overhaul of Valencia Street in the works at the Department of Public Works: Some highlights of this $6.1 million project, according to DPW’s Great Streets Program: the center median will be removed; the sidewalks will be widened from their current 10 feet to 13-15 feet, allowing for more foot traffic, for outside seating in cafes and hopefully for room to push through swarms of bluegrass-crazed ...Shared by Christopher (48) Sermed (38)Contribute comment

Guitar Praise: Guitar Hero Minus the Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n Roll [Christiantech] (12)
on Gizmodo (17945) permalinkWhen you siphon the antiestablishmentism out of rock 'n roll, you get one of two things—Christian rock or The Jonas Brothers.

Mayor Closes Children Produce Stand for Lack of Permits (5)
on Serious Eats (841) permalinkFrom Serious Eats Mayor Gregory Manning in Clayton, California is losing major credibility with kids right now. According to ABC News, he doesn't think two young ladies, three-year old Katie Lewis and her eleven-year old sister Sabrina Lewis, should manage a street corner produce stand where they once sold surplus crops like zucchini and melon from their family's garden. When the police recently showed up, they shuttered the stand for violating zoning and traffic laws, ...
