Out of all the manwhores in Hollywood, only Jon Hamm (aka mah husband, obvs) can moisten panties around the world fully clothed (via Buzzfeed). That is a fact. May he never hear about this little invention called the underwear, EVER! (more…)

Contrary to popular belief, I haven’t moved past my adorkable obsession phase as yet so these shirtless shots of mah forever husband John Krasinski with Bradley Cooper and Emily Blunt in Hawaii (via E! Online) are like Christmas for me. Christmas meaning locking the door and getting the tissue box out. I’ve even managed to block out Bradley Cooper which is quite an achievement in itself. (more…)

This is the best comic strip series ever.

No, seriously, it's the national sport of Turkey.

So, the premise of oil wrestling is this: first, get greased up with olive oil.

You need lots of oil.

Desculpa a demora. Tava montando o Bufas 2 e o Almanacão de Férias. De volta agora.

A ciência tem uma missão: comprovar como chocolate faz bem – em todos os aspectos. Já provaram até que faz emagrecer e deixa você mais inteligente. E agora dizem que ainda traz um benefício à saúde mental: reduz o estresse do dia-a-dia.

Pesquisadores suíços pediram a pessoas altamente estressadas (elas se julgavam assim) para começar a comer chocolate diariamente. Durante duas semanas, eles comeram 40 gramas de chocolate amargo por dia. Antes e depois do início da dieta, os cientistas coletaram urina e sangue dos participantes para descobrir como andava o nível de cortisol (hormônio do estresse). E, ao final da experiência, todos estavam com níveis mais baixos de estresse.

“O consumo diário de chocolate amargo resultou numa significante modificação do metabolismo dos voluntários (…). Isso foi observado por meio da redução de níveis de hormônios associados ao estresse e normalização dos sinais sistêmicos de estresse”, conclui a pesquisa.

Vale ressaltar que a pesquisa foi feita pelo instituto de pesquisa de uma fabricante de chocolate… Um pouco suspeito, não?

I’ve been wanting to take the chocolate sheet cake recipe I’ve made for my entire married life—the same sheet cake recipe my mother-in-law handed me when I became engaged to her son, the same sheet cake that has gotten me through some wild ups and downs in life, the same sheet cake recipe that should be canonized it’s so delicious and perfect, if a recipe could even be canonized, which it couldn’t, but that’s how good it is—and turn it into a peanut butter version, but for some unknown reason, I never have done it.

Until yesterday.

And I’ll just say it: Yesterday was my very favorite day ever.

Come along! I’ll show you why!

 
Here’s what you need for the cake: Flour, sugar, salt, butter, peanut butter, baking soda, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla.

Amen.

 
 
 
Start with just under 2 sticks of butter. I actually tried it with 2 full sticks, but wound up deciding it needed a little less because I wanted to add more peanut butter and I didn’t want the cake to be too oily.

Boy, that was a long explanation.

 
 
 
When the butter melts…

 
 
 
Grab some peanut butter…

 
 
 
And measure half a cup.

(Note: I used a 1/3 cup measure here, heaped it in there, then wound up wanting more peanut butter flavor in the case. Hence the half cup measure.)

(Boy, that was a long explanation.)

 
 
 
Plop the peanut butter into the pan with the butter…

 
 
 
And stir it till it’s smooth.

And this right here is pretty much the only difference between the chocolate sheet cake and this peanut butter version: Instead of adding cocoa at this stage, I added peanut butter. A simple change that completely alters the entire cake.

Just like that bottle of Sun-In completely altered my entire head of hair in the summer of 1985.

But that’s another story for another time.

 
 
 
Pour in the boiling water…

 
 
 
Then let the mixture bubble up for about 10 seconds or so before turning off the heat and setting it aside.

 
 
 
Now make the buttermilk mixture! Add 2 eggs to the buttermilk…

 
 
 
Along with baking soda…

 
 
 
And vanilla.

 
 
 
Whisk it around and set it aside.

 
 
 
For the dry ingredients, mix 2 cups flour…

 
 
 
With 2 cups sugar…

 
 
 
And 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

 
 
 
Stir it around…

 
 
 
Then pour in the peanut butter mixture…

 
 
 
And stir it until it’s halfway combined.

 
 
 
Next, pour the buttermilk mixture into the peanut butter…

 
 
 
And gently fold it together…

 
 
 
Until it’s all combined.

 
 
 
Now, pour the luscious batter into a half-sheet pan, also known as a sheet cake pan, also known as a sheet pan, also known as an 18 x 12-inch pan you can get at restaurant supply stores or kitchen stores, also known as I have an addiction to these and use them for everything.

 
 
 
And speaking of everything…this batter is everything.

 
 
 
Smooth it all out so the surface is even, then violently place it into a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.

 
 
 
While the cake was baking, I made the icing so that I could get it on the warm cake right out of the oven. But rather than make a matching peanut butter frosting, which I was afraid would be too overwhelming, I stuck with the regular chocolate icing that goes with the chocolate sheet cake.

You know why?

Because…”Two great tastes that taste great together!”

If you can name the product that goes with that jingle, you watched way too much TV in the early eighties.

Like me.

 
 
 
Place just under 2 sticks of butter in the same saucepan, which you just washed because you didn’t want to dirty another pan because your sink’s already full of enough dirty dishes.

Boy, that was a long explanation.

 
 
 
Melt the butter…

 
 
 
Then add 4 heaping tablespoons of cocoa.

 
 
 
Whisk it together…

 
 
 
Then add 6 tablespoons of milk. I put my milk in this little cow creamer, because it absolutely cracks me up to watch milk pour out of the cow’s mouth.

I’m easily entertained.

And here’s where my being married to a cattle rancher messes with me. I think to myself, milk would never come out of a cow’s mouth. Cows don’t drink milk. Cows eat grass. Now, calves drink milk. Calves drink milk a lot, as long as they’re still nursing. So really, these should be CALF creamers, not COW creamers. But even then, milk would be going INTO a calf’s mouth, not out. If milk were coming out of a calf’s mouth, the calf would probably be sick. Which makes me want to stop talking about it and get out there and doctor the sick calf.

Even though the sick calf only exists in my mind.

Goodbye.

 
 
 
Sift in the powdered sugar…

 
 
 
Add the vanilla…

 
 
 
And whisk it all together.

 
 
 
Meanwhile…the cake is ready!

 
 
 
Mmmm. You can’t imagine how delicious this smells. It filled my house with peanut buttery goodness heaven bliss wonderment.

 
 
 
Right when the cake comes out of the oven, drizzle the warm icing on top.

 
 
 
Luscious, luscious, luscious!

 
 
 
Luscious!

Oh, and don’t worry if you see little powdered sugar lumps. The world is an imperfect place. Be part of that beautiful imperfection!

 
 
 
Smear the icing all over the surface…

 
 
 
And here’s where you can start to get excited.

And I mean excited.

 
 
 
Hello, love-muffin!

 
 
 
It’s best if you eat this warm.

 
 
 
Here’s where you can start to get excited. Again.

Wow.

 
 
 
Look how pretty and moist!

 
 
 
So basically…we inhaled this. All six of us.

Nine of us, if you count seconds.

 
 
 
This is delightful! Make it the next time you need a comforting cake to go with your big glass of cold milk.

In other words: Make it today.

Here’s the handy dandy printable, both for the peanut butter cake and for the original chocolate sheet cake.

Be good! (Ha.)

Jamie Dornan - Shadows in the Sun pt. 6

Henry Cavill at the Man of Steel set. My screencap from the MoS blu-ray featured extras.

Vamos estabelecer alguns parâmetros: se você não sofreu continuamente durante seus anos de colégio, você não pode se declarar nerd. Se você era um dos primeiros escolhidos na hora de formar os times na aula de educação física, ou se você realmente gostava da aula de educação física, suas credenciais nerds estão sumariamente anuladas. Conversava com as meninas da sala? Era chamado pras festinhas? Não, cara. Você era feliz! Agora…porque diabos você está se declarando nerd?

Já fazem alguns anos que o termo “nerd” perdeu o significado “original”. Nerd e geek deixaram de ser os caras meio estranhos do colégio, que jogavam RPG e videogame enquanto os adolescentes saudáveis estavam saindo, ficando, tendo vidas sociais e etc. De repente, nerd e geek passaram a ser os caras que curtem tecnologia e cultura pop, e só. Ou seja…todo mundo? Todo mundo assiste algum seriado considerado nerd, todo mundo sabe quem é o Superman, o Batman, o Homem-Aranha, todo mundo usa facebook e baixa aplicativos no celular. E veja que tudo isso está fundamentado em: consumo! Você é nerd por causa das coisas que assiste, lê, baixa, acompanha, usa.

E eu discordo disso. Tudo bem, você assiste, lê, baixa, acompanha, usa artefatos da cultura pop…mas não são essas coisas que fazem com que você seja nerd. A nerdice vem antes dessas coisas: é uma maneira diferente de ver o mundo. Vem junto com a introversão, com uma falta de traquejo social, com uma certa dificuldade de se relacionar com as pessoas. Vem junto com uma mania de aprender sobre coisas que a grande maioria das pessoas nem se interessa, de querer saber sempre mais sobre certos assuntos, de se aprofundar nas coisas de que você realmente gosta. Vem junto com a noção que você sempre vai ser meio diferente do que a maioria considera normal, mas tudo bem: isso é legal, isso é bom, e depois do colégio nem é mais tão complicado assim.

O gosto pela cultura pop é algo que vem por tabela, mas não é obrigatório. Na verdade, o que é acontece é a mania de se aprofundar nas coisas tomando conta. A maioria das crianças jogam videogame; os nerds completam o jogo no 100%, se tornam enciclopédiazinhas de videogames, aprendem a customizar o jogo e criar conteúdo novo pra ele, aprendem a programar e vão fazer seus próprios jogos. A maioria das crianças leu Harry Potter. Os nerds sabem tudo sobre os livros, criam fansites e participam de listas de discussões, vão ler os livros que influenciaram o autor, vão escrever seus próprios livros. Entendeu? É aprender a programar, aprender a desenhar, é saber como seu computador funciona, é ler livros que ninguém mais conhece, é conhecer seriados obscuros dos anos 70, é montar uma banda, é fazer filmes caseiros, é fazer um fanzine. É ter um interesse e correr com ele. É ir além do consumo.
