  • The Little, Expensive Solar BBQ that…Could?

    I’ll admit, I’ve never seen one of these.  Nor have I read anything about them.  However, that former-physics-student part of me really wonders if a solar BBQ could cook a hot dog in under 203840983 hours.

    Solar BBQ is Crazy
    SOLAR BBQ: 299 EUROS?! WHAT THE WHAT?!

    And for 299 Euros!? PLUS 20% VAT tax!? (Of course this is at BHV [Le Bazaar de Hotel de Ville] a shop whose prices make Nordstrom’s look like TJ Maxx). Good gracious – that’s nearly $540! You could buy a New Gas Grill and offset your lifetime carbon emissions from grilling (along with your family’s) 10x over for less moolah that that. But it’s still kinda swank…eh?

  • L’as du Fallafel – The MF’in Ace of Falafel

    So the first week in Paris, we discovered the most gangsta’ falafel place ever (sorry, been re-watching many, many episodes of HBO’s critically acclaimed series “The Wire” lately).  Holy moly.  I’m too lazy to write a whole new post for this – so just check out the much-better-review-than-I-would-have-written on my lady’s blog:

    Bunk: "When it comes to falafel, every man needs a code." Omar: "Indeed"

    Good gracious!  I’ve already been there 5 times in 3 weeks!
