You Have to Try This Recipe for Red Potatoes with Lemon and Chives

For my fellow cooks out there, America’s Test Kitchen has published a recipe for braised red potatoes with lemon and chives that is beyond delicious.  It immediately became our permanent recipe.  I can’t imagine having them any other way now that I’ve experienced these.  I highly recommend you go get the recipe for yourself.  It’s simple, but the preparation they use makes all the difference.

What AIG Can Teach Investors About Diversification

Imagine that back in 2007, you had $3,000,000 to invest on behalf of a private family investment partnership you were running.  You decide to split this into three different companies.  One of these was AIG, the insurance conglomerate. AIG shares fell from a high of $1,459.00 each to $6.60.  The Board of Directors had to do a 20-1 reverse stock split to keep the thing from trading for less than the value of bottle caps.

An Evening of Rodrigo and Prokofiev at Helzberg Hall

After dinner at Pierpont’s in Union Station, we made our way over to the symphony hall, arriving a few minutes before the orchestra took the stage.  Tonight is a big departure from our usual Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven.  Particularly of interest to us were the second and third groups on the program.  The second was Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez for Guitar and Orchestra, which was performed by Jiyeon Kim, a guitar virtuoso.

I Captured a Metroid

My youngest sister made our day yesterday by stopping by the house to visit for a few hours.  She had been at the NakaKon convention in Overland Park and saw an 8-bit pixel Metroid collectible she thought I’d love.  She was right.  Upon holding the specimen, I temporarily reverted to a six year old, 1980s-living, NES-dominating beast.  Behold, and listen to the theme if you need some adequate inspiration.
