You may already know that there’s awesome things to see on Facebook, like bacon or Matt Hofmann’s hair.

{Matt was a special guest who glistened during the Iron Jedi match on Episode 0000043 “A Jedi Thanksgiving”.}

Sure, many folks go to an Alice B. Toklas place when creative brownie making is mentioned, but for a goody two-shoes like me (with a cop pal as my afternoon’s company to boot!), there’s much swoony satisfaction in a recipe that highlights some of my favorite legal vices. I’m hardly the first to alight at bacon brownies, but I decided to borrow a step from the bourbon balls I’m often rolling up ’round this time of year for holiday party purposes. A double-soak — once pre and once mid-toasting of a half cup of pecans in bourbon, and a swap-in of the nut-infused bourbon for the traditional vanilla brings a slightly tipsy edge to a deeply fudgy brownie. A grind of fresh black pepper (inspired by a Chanterelle Staff Meals brownie recipe, which credited the technique to Maida Heatter) strums the palate to life; a subtle note of smoked salt lets the bolder bacon sing.

Had there not been half a foot of snow atop my grill cover, I’d have seen what came of an attempt to tobacco-smoke the pecans and chocolate, but for now, these are more than sufficiently wicked.

I was just cleaning-out the AV closet and wound this old filmstrip.

We aired it in November, 2005. enjoy!

If you were with us back in Season One, you fell in love with the cute & quirky thereminist, Pamelia Kurstin. She played her theremin on the phone for us, and it looks like she’s now hit the big time! {As if it wasn’t “big time” yet to play with David Byrne or the Bionic Geniuses}

Pamelia is a featured presenter at TED, which stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design.
The annual conference now brings together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).

We had a great time on our first live show tonight!

We broke new ground as we wandered deep into the nerd forest, and contributed to the first live broadcast to simultaneously feature video of a catbox and a Wookie throwdown.
