Thursday miscellanea #348

  • The weather is about to break! It’ll feel like football this Saturday.
  • Apple is saying its new pink iPhone is “rose gold.” No, it isn’t. It’s pink. Rose gold means a gold finish with a reddish tint, like this.
  • We had a look at Ollie’s Bargain Outlet, just west of Old Time Pottery in Madison, on Monday. It was interesting, and maybe worth a periodic stop. Seemed like more kinds of stuff than Big Lots.
  • Speaking of holidays, Aaron’s gotten pretty used to grabbing Vietnamese lunch as part of them. That’s a pretty cool tradition.
  • The first long distance dedication on Casey Kasem’s American Top 40 was Neil Diamond’s “Desiree.”
  • Ever have a heating element in your oven fail? First time ever for us this week. It glows white-hot in one spot and looks like a sparkler periodically. If you watch it a bit, the white-hot spot moves along the element as it turns it brittle and ashen behind it. I killed the breaker and it quit. I’ll have a go at changing it tonight.
  • Tommy introduced me to Tellicherry pepper yesterday, and it’s pretty amazing. It’s black pepper, but more so; just a really rich and full taste and aroma. I already have my own chili powder, cumin, oregano, and paprika in the spice cabinet. I’m probably going to have to add this. I can’t wait to make a pot of chili this weekend.
