My favorite internet phenomenon is when someone comments on a YouTube video with a really benign comment like “I love this song!” and then there are a bunch of hidden responses to that comment and then the last one isn’t hidden and it’s something like “you ignorant tool, I can’t believe anyone would even defend Eisenhower’s foreign policies, let alone compare them to political strategies of Napoleon. Take your asinine opinions elsewhere (and FYI, the Chinese DID invent noodles. idiot.)”
Jesus, I can’t even slice an avocado in half symmetrically.
I don’t think anyone in the foodieverse as it stands is nutbar enough to attempt this, but maybe like, if the Watchers ever showed up this is the kind of thing they’d do.
This image shows a view of the glands (the kitten and the cat) within the endometrium of the uterus that were observed during examination of a biopsy obtained from a woman with multiple polyps.
An endometrial polyp is a lump that protrudes from the surface lining of the uterine cavity. Polyps can vary in size and are often vascularized which can lead to heavy bleeding during the menstrual phase of the menstrual cycle or irregular bleeding (spotting) during the cycle. Aside from this abnormal bleeding, they are often asymptomatic, however, if they develop near the uterine tubes they can block the entrance to the tubes which will have an affect on fertility while their presence in the body of the uterus can affect implantation of a fertilized egg and therefore increase risk of miscarriage.
Due to the fact that the polyps protrude from the surface of the uterus, they can be observed using ultrasound and they can be removed surgically and examined with a microscope to determine if they are cancerous or not. Most polyps removed are benign (non-cancerous) growths but once removed, they frequently grow back.
The only thing better than finely folded origami is origami that you can eat. These awesome deep fried origami cranes, boxes, samurai helmets, and shuriken were made using leftover wonton skins by Japanese Twitter user @key_daisuki’s clever chef father.
After sharing these creative treats on Twitter other cooks were inspired to give edible origami a try. @grandmariu made these wonton skin helmets stuffed with edamame soy beans, ham, cheese, imitation crab, onion, white sauce, and veggies:
Hello friends! I’m back from Chicago (shoutout to all the cool people at the Chicago Architecture Biennial for inviting me to come ogle neat stuff). I spent the better part of this weekend breaking my brain combing through 5 counties worth of McMansions, just so I could give you the gift of what might be the ugliest collection of homes in existence.
Without further ado:
Monmouth County
THE COLUMN GOING THROUGH THE ROOF is PEAK McMansion craftsmanship. Nothing will ever top that metaphor.
Honestly, when you really think about it, this doesn’t actually look like a house at all. There’s recognizable shapes, or symbols like gables, but the cohesive outline resembles nothing at all – a crazy zig-zaggy shape devoid of symbolic meaning. Anyways, Barthes would probably have a field day here.
Bergen County
Bergen County is awesome – I wrote about it in college when going down I-10 on a Sunday (when everything is closed) – totally surreal and apocalyptic. Good stuff.
told ya
this blog is NSFW now. thanks, New Jersey.
Somerset County
The gray sky makes it. Speaking of skies…
[architecture dork joke: me, calling Peter Eisenman Peter Eisenman: hello? me: everything is your fault.]
Morris County
A perennial favorite of mine. Glad to see that some of the houses I saw when first starting the blog are still for sale.
does anyone else find this house extremely punchable or is it just me?
The windows on this house are more hollow and soulless than whoever thinks Sean Spicer was funny at the Emmy’s. (RELEVANT! I’M RELEVANT!!)
Finally… Hunterdon County, the Richest County in New Jersey
the shutters are more futile than my attempts to not be late.
This house broke me.
Well, that concludes our New Jersey Special!
Stay tuned for an overdue Looking Around this weekend, and next week’s New Mexico McMansion!
