Up way too late last night. Spent most of the time trying to bake a peach pie, but with a crumble/crisp topping, instead of a top crust. Not sure how it turned out, since it finished baking around 10pm, and it's supposed to rest, like a steak off the grill. Anyway, not much to show for staying up late. I did take another peek at updating the MediaWiki software, hoping that there was an updated version with a built in iPhone friendly skin, and lo and behold, there is. So maybe I can get that done at some point. Maybe before the iPhone development starts, so I have someplace to keep my notes. I have started using Evernote for some things, which I think I had originally wanted to use the Memex for. So after I update the backend, I'll shift over the stuff I started using Evernote for. Main thing was recipes. Like for the cobbler topping: 2:1:1 ratio of flour:sugar:brown sugar along with butter to bring it together. Simple, but I keep forgetting, maybe because I make it like once a year. Random thought: I wish iTunes and Apple TV spit out rss feeds of what was played or watched. Would help keep track of my media consumption. Going back to the pie, the recipe from America's Test Kitchen for pie crusts is awesome. The 2 secrets: vodka and processing half the flour with the fat then adding the rest of the flour afterwards, have resulted in a perfect crust twice now. I'm impressed.
