I wrote an interesting write-up for E2 about Lamson Cash Carriers. I find the concept of sending wooden cups filled with coins hurtling around department stores at 40 mph appealing. I've had a few customers that I wish I could have bopped in the head. Twice.

Blue Crush with Fungushead, I had a craving for stirfry. We made a stop at Albertsons for the necessary ingredients: water chestnuts, bean sprouts, stirfry sauce, a green pepper and fresh garlic. I pulled a pair of recipes off of E2, and combined them into a bastardized amalgam. Tasty.
