I’m about to eat my lunch that was partially cooked in a silicone steamer that I burnt to a crisp this morning. The fact that I am looking to Yahoo! Answers to see if it’s a bad idea probably makes it a bad idea.

Longform for the iPad is now available.
Recommended. Great creation, simple design, winning combo.
This looks great. I just started following the longform tumblr.

Cochinita on Fulton. Love it.
My favorite subgenre of fiction is sweeping family sagas.
I just found out that I get to work inside the hall at next week’s Jay-Z concert at Carnegie Hall, and am beyond excited.
Naturally, this song is now in my head.

People buy and listen to their music where they buy and listen to their music. I, as a content provider, can’t influence that. There are many people in this business that say, ‘I wish people still bought vinyl. I wish people still bought CDs.’ But you can’t base your business on that.
Nice one, Anthropologie.
A colleague just forwarded me an e-mail from clothing store Anthropologie that has this fantastic animated gif. I’m entranced.
I love this ad campaign we’ve been working on at Carnegie Hall.
It’s nice to see some positive feedback about it on Flickr this week!

The Anniversary- “All Things Ordinary”
Quite possibly my favorite song of all time.
It’s amazing to me that I’ve never seen any of the music videos from this time, when I know the songs so well. I never even thought to search for music videos online in high school, but that’s probably because they weren’t there.
There are adorable kittens in our yard lately.
Also, this happened yesterday for a second.
Heidi Swanson’s Millet Muffins have been sweetening up my entire weekend. The uncooked millet gives it a surprisingly nice little crunch.
Millet Muffins
- 2 1/2 cups flour (I used a combination of whole wheat and rye)
- 1/3 cup raw millet
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, with a rack in the top third of the oven. Butter a standard 12-cup muffin pan or line with paper liners.
Whisk together the flour, millet, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, butter, honey, and lemon zest and juice until smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until the flour is incorporated.
Divide the batter among the muffin cups, spooning a heaping ¼ cup (60 milliliters) batter into each one, filling it a bit below the rim.
Bake for about 15 minutes, until the muffin tops are browned and just barely beginning to crack. Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then turn the muffins out of the pan to cool completely on a wire rack.
