Online recipes + Email + BlackBerry = good food
It's 1:05am and I'm starvinggg for some good food. So I went online and found a recipe (trying to get better at cooking these days, I'll paste recipe at bottom). But then I realized that my computer wasn't connected to a printer, and we don't have a network at my house or any of that super hi-tech crap (we're all just on my open wireless router, if you're in the neighborhood drop by and use it all you want). So anyways, I thought I would copy the text into a file, put it on a USB flash drive, take it over to "The Mother Ship" (stupid HP computer that everyone uses), and then print it from there -- that computer is connected to the family printer. But then I was like, no, that is too inefficient; there MUST be a better way.
And then it hit me. Paste the recipe into an email and then send it to yourself. My BlackBerry will pick it up! SWEET. So I do that, and now I'm cooking with a spatula in my right hand and my BlackBerry in my left.
They don't call them "CrackBerrys" for nothin'... :D
