Happy Nikola Tesla Day!

Today we celebrate the most under-celebrated engineering genius of the last 200 years,

Nikola Tesla. Just look at those dreamy bedroom eyes.

OH Flirty Tesla, take me now!
OH Flirty Tesla, take me now!

I created the character, now let’s make Flirty Tesla a ‘thang.’

Karaoke Karma

Ack…dammit…karma, you hilarious bitch

Of course hours after I post a ridiculous blog about disliking karaoke I am unceremoniously dragged out to party with my coworkers and…you guessed it…sing karaoke. I begrudgingly went out and….IT WAS AWESOME.  So much fun and a great bonding experience with said coworkers and I didn’t even drink. *sigh*

Karaoke, I take it all back. You are a fantastically wild and majestic beast. I bow down to your greatness.

Best song choice of the evening; ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’ – Billy Joel

*Even though I had a great time I’m leaving the post up, mostly because I spent 20 minutes on that graph…that is 20 minutes of my life that I could have been watching Archer or photographing my cats in perfectly accurate turn of the century costumes. Sooo go look at it at least. Geeeeeeez…thank you.

Gluten Free… Doughnut Replacement

I am in a long term, deeply passionate love affair with fried dough covered in frosting and sprinkles. I know it bad for me and I should say ‘no’ but…but..I just can’t! Nobody understands me quite like Maple Bar does. Which is why this gluten-free diet has been absolute torture.

I should also mention that there is a doughnut shop across from where I work. Some cruel genius figured out that tech zombies and healthcare nerds have lots of spare cash and an inability to get up early enough to prepare a healthful breakfast.  That rich, rich bastard. $$$

Despite the taunting call of my lover every morning (and a freaking work pizza-party…where do I pick up my medal?), I have maintained my gluten free heading! But I don’t think I could have done it without these guys;

Yes I took this picture with  my smart phone. Impressed? I think not.

I call them my doughnut replacements because they hit all the same flavor notes that make my brain light up like a rat tasting that first bite of maze completion prize cheese. Nothing tastes quite like saturated fat on the tongue (i.e. bacon and butter), nothing!  Warning: they taste awesome but remember they are still full of calories, so take it easy.

More Gluten-Free nonsense to come…
