“If someone is talking about you somewhere, your ear will ring. If it’s the left ear - someone is saying something nice or good about you, but if it’s your right ear, then somebody is saying something bad about you.”
Trader Joe's Coconut Body Butter

If I were a celebrity, I’m pretty sure the only thing I would endorse is body butter. We all benefit from body butter. It is cream’s cooler, older brother. If you haven’t tried it, I'd encourage you to give it a whirl.
While I am a fan of the specialty stores that sell it (mainly The Body Shop), I am not a fan of their ridiculous prices. An eight ounce container can go for north of $20. For one container. And in the past, I would pay that! I foolishly thought that was the only way. NO MORE!
This Trader Joe’s body butter is definitely as good, if not better, than anything at The Body Shop. And it’s eons cheaper. And it also doesn’t leave that oily residue that I’ve experienced with other, more expensive butters.
Seriously, give it a go. And just as a sidenote: it’s way more fun to say I’m “buttering myself up” as opposed to “lotioning myself up,” just rolls off the tongue easier.
It’s $12 on Amazon. And it’s $5 at Trader Joe’s.

Crazy Detailed Seinfeld Site
I just came across this Seinfeld tumblr/wordpress/dealy and it's pretty intense. I know. The show's been off the air for over a decade. It doesn't matter. Show's still great, man.
Go here to take a look. Just a ridiculous amount of information. Expect to waste... twenty minutes or so. So great.
Best Soup in Albany
One of the best soups I've ever had is the Potato & Arugula soup in Albany, NY at Elda's On Lark. If you find yourself in Albany, go eat this soup. I know, this seems like a weak post, but man... if you've tasted this baby, you'd understand where I'm coming from right now.

The Hang Around Cooking Utensils
"Created by Kibisi for Muuto, each beech wood tool features a small slit that allows you to perch it on the edge of the pan or pot."
Just a great idea. You can purchase a set for $45 from The Fancy.

Letter From Dad
This was the beginning of the latest letter from my dad. Maybe this isn't that funny, but it made me really laugh.
Very excited.
