Hey, I'm emailing you directly because I think you have a good chance to make the top 15 percent of our top guys. (this is everything about you and your myspace webpage - not looks necessarily). Note, you may want to tidy up the page a bit or add some more comments just to be sure, but I think you have a good shot, and I've seen a lot of profiles hun, many have nothing at all. (see the register part on our page for the details, literally takes about 12 seconds to sign-up). Anyway, here's the standard message too: What the hell is MS Top Guy? There are over 2 million profiles and we are taking the top 15 percent here (see the qualifications under this page - not on looks alone by any means!). We want to include those who make Myspace a little bit better than anywhere else! We are doing the same for our Top Girls as well, and hopefully we will be able to allow our top members to search through nothing but top profiles (top girls search top guys, ahem* ahem*), making it easier to reach the best of the best, for the best Myspace users. Thanks! Stephaniealso, if you want to see our top girls go here: http://profiles.myspace.com/users/4113939

Heroes:

First modifications to crust: 1. Go to Citarella and get pastry flour, use the same proportions for 1 cup flour but use half pastry flour and half all purpose flour and then use all butter and no vegetable shortening. Makes better crust. 2. when you cut the butter into the flour: cut the butter in small pieces and rub flour and butter together in your fingers so that it looks like oatmeal. 3. Finally, after you add the water and make a ball, you have to flour a board or counter, and put the ball of dough on the board. Then you take the heel of your hand and press into in the dough away from you. Keep doing this until the butter is blended into flour and it feels like dough. Then mold the dough into a ball and flour it, wrap it in wax paper, and put in refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Take it out and roll it out. If you need better directions, the best are in Julia Child, Mastering the ARt of French Cook, vol 1. Otherwise The new YOrk Times Cookbook also has good directions. Short pastry crust Categories: Pie crusts Yield: 8 Servings 1 c Flour,all-purpose 1 pn Salt 4 tb Butter,unsalted,cut/bits 1 ½ tb Vegetable shortening,solid 3 tb Water,cold Sift the flour and salt together into a large bowl. With 2 knives or a pastry blender, cut in the butter and shortening until mixture is the texture of coarse crumbs. Add only enough water to make a soft dough. Form into a ball, wrap in wax paper and chill for at least 1 hour. Home***Bourbon Pecan Pie*** for 9" pie pan 1/3 cup butter 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 3 eggs 1/4 tsp salt 1 cup dark corn syrup 1 tablespoon Kentucky bourbon 1 cup chopped pecans 1 tablespoon flour 1 half-baked 9-inch pie shell in pan Garnish: 8 to 10 whole pecans, in halves Optional: 1/2 cup heavy cream (not ultra-pasteurized) 2 tablespoons sugar 2 to 3 tablespoons Kentucky bourbon Preheat oven to 350 degrees: 1. Cream butter and add brown sugar slowly, beating constantly until all is absorbed and the mixtures is fluffy. 2. Add eggs, one by one, beating continuously, then add salt, corn syrup, and bourbon. 3. Toss pecans in flour, then fold them into filling. 4. Pour filling into crust. 5. Place in oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until filling is firm. 6. Decorate top by making border of pecan halves and bake for five minutes more. 7. Serve tepid: pie may be garnished with whipped cream flavored with sugar and bourbon. ***Note: Pecans should be fresh. Either buy them in the shells and shell them, or better Fairway has excellent fresh pecans already shelled.

One and one half

Today I rode my bike for one and one half hours around the mote. I found crumbs under my nails and ate them. I passed United Pipe Nipple on the ocean.
