If you’re a regular reader you know the Mrs. and I like to cook. We get a number of cooking mags, but our favorite is Bon Appétit.
So last night Margie is reading in bed and shows me this wonderful little piece illustrated by Matthew Woodson. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! (Click the images to enlarge them, and the recipe is at the end.)
It’s funny how when you grow up with something you don’t question it. I’ve always been pretty OK with the Fantastic Four’s Mr. Fantastic, but then I read this:
Perhaps the most conceited-sounding name ever, it’s really bad when you consider Reed Richards gave the name to himself! I would have thought the other members of the team might have seen this as a little vain, but they just accepted it and ran with it.
Yeah! What the heck?! I guess Mr. Very Healthy Self-Image was ungainly.
Hat tip to Bam! Kapow!
Listen I like comic books and superheroes and all that as much, and probably more, than the next guy, but I stop short of impassioned arguments like this:
In my humble opinion, the Hulk would beat Superman hands down. I’ve heard the arguments; They have fought before, and Superman won. That was a fan voted victory, and it was how long ago? Superman never uses his full abilities, he is faster than the Hulk, he can regenerate using the earth’s sun, he is from Crypton, he could carry Hulk into space and suffocate him, and or throw him into the sun, etc so on and so forth. You think the hulk is just going to let Supe do that? I know when I get into an imaginary fight, I win every time, but in reality ‘Super-fans’ the Hulk would be fighting Superman as he attempts to carry him out of the atmosphere, the Hulks power is his anger, and from what I’ve seen, he is usually pretty pissed when he fights.
When I get into imaginary fights they’re usually involve pillows and Charlize Theron, but there you go.
Saw cartoony pal Brian Fies’ Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? in the wild yesterday…
…and in some pretty good company! Woo!
