I have Twitter, just hardly use it. I think I might be technologically fatigued.I would carry fresh nutmeg for you
Do you Twitter? Alton's Twitter is funnnnnnny
Ok, I’ll follow Mr Brown.
I love kitties.
I love Alton Brown. I just CANNOT BE Alton Brown. I’m gonna use a shortcut. Maybe more than one.
Fresh coconuts on the prairie? It’s a long way from the island, mon.
I'm 100% gay for Roger Moore, Mark Knopfler and TV chefs.
You’re gonna LOVE Alton Brown. He knows everything. And carries nutmeg in his pocket for spice emergencies.
Like Batman's utility belt, only more delicious.

There are some words out there that are brilliantly evocative and at the same time impossible to fully translate. Yiddish has the word shlimazl, which basically means a perpetually unlucky person. German has the word Backpfeifengesicht, which roughly means a face that is badly in need of a fist. And then there’s the Japanese word tsundoku, which perfectly describes the state of my apartment. It means buying books and letting them pile up unread.
The word dates back to the very beginning of modern Japan, the Meiji era (1868-1912) and has its origins in a pun. Tsundoku, which literally means reading pile, is written in Japanese as 積ん読. Tsunde oku means to let something pile up and is written 積んでおく. Some wag around the turn of the century swapped out that oku (おく) in tsunde oku for doku (読) – meaning to read. Then since tsunde doku is hard to say, the word got mushed together to form tsundoku.

Once upon a time... I did this thing called sleep. Now I stay up all night watching horror movies.
Thank you, Ms. Enid!!
