The Castle on King (Moore College Revue vid)

reuben — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 09:02:39 +0000

For me, this was one of the highlights of the revue – a very well done parody. You might even enjoy it if you’re not from around these parts!

The list #50: Compete in pub trivia

reuben — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 13:39:32 +0000

Competed with friends at the Marly’s pub trivia tonight – came equal 3rd…Was pretty good fun!

Totally up for trying it again, perhaps at a different pub to gauge the relative quality.

Learned that PNG is the largest producer of sweet potatoes per capita!

Well it’s not sydneyanglicans but it may be as close as I get – a photo on the Moore college website:

I’m calling it for now, but still holding out a glimmer of hope that I’ll hit the big time

Super pork roast

reuben — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 07:49:58 +0000

Tried this on the weekend – ‘overnight slow roasted pork’. (+ variation)

I cooked it for most of the day, rather than over night and we ended up using a smaller portion of meat (~3kg) and scaled as in the linked recipe. Turned out very moist and extremely tender after 9 (!) hours of cooking. The mashed veg that you end up with is also delicious.

This apple sauce and these smashed roast potatoes worked a treat as accompaniments.

Jodie cooked a very delicious lemon delicious pudding. Almost lemon fantastic!

I like this sort of cooking when having people over – it’s a fairly easy recipe and most importantly for entertaining can mostly be prepared ahead of time. I had the apple sauce made and the potatoes boiled in the morning – ready to pop in 30 min’s before we ate. Perhaps best of all, you can get cheap meat – because you’re cooking it so long its going to be tender and tasty!

Super mario procrastination

So far this exam period I’ve managed to avoid blogging as a medium for procrastination. But all good things come to an end!!

Some epic uses of the super mario theme song.

p.s. I do plan to blog some more original content in the next little while. Sorry it’s been a while! (in case you care

Hypnosis

reuben — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 12:17:55 +0000

Stephanie is guest blogging on hypnosis over at cyberpunk + bluetwin.

Steph used me as a hypnosis guinea-pig while she was training for Psychology…i’m suggestible apparently

Can you make me rob a bank? Isn’t that demonic – Satan can enter your mind that way. These are some of questions that are often levelled at me when I mention hypnosis.

Packing tape art

reuben — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 08:41:58 +0000

I’m really amazed by this guy’s work:

He makes art out of brown packing tape on plexiglass. I’d love to try my hand at some, but I have no idea how it works. How would you plan a work like this?

Jodie says: “why don’t you ask your friends at reubenland?” …so…any ideas?

I think it is vaguely based on stained glass techniques…

It’s true – llamas do make everything cooler!
