Super sale on Cheerios at QFC – $1.50 per box if you buy 4 boxes – but it’s Passover. What to do?!?
We bought 4 boxes and hid them in the closet. We’ll bust them out next week.

In the office a few weeks ago, I wondered aloud what one does with a sunchoke, aka Jerusalem artichoke (I had one in the refrigerator at home that I needed to use). In response, my boss sent me a recipe for cream of Jerusalem artichoke soup, which I’ve made twice now. It’s rich and decadent and fantastic. If you try it, it’s imperative that you also make the chestnut and parsley pesto to top it off (well, I made mine with shitake mushrooms instead of chestnuts, since chestnuts are nowhere to be found in the Seattle area in the spring. But shitakes worked pretty well).
I’m trying the same recipe tonight with celery root instead of a sunchoke. We’ll see how it goes.
Update 10:27 PM: The celery root variant was amazing. Yummmmm.
I was so excited when I learned that Rock Band would be released for the Wii this June. But, as I feared, it turns out that there will not be any downloadable content for the Wii version of the game, just as there wasn’t for Guitar Hero 3:
“When developing Rock Band for the Wii platform, we focused on making the core gameplay experience as solid and enjoyable as possible while tailoring it specifically to the strengths of the platform. The Wii version still contains the robust four-player band experience and all the fun at the core of other versions of Rock Band,” said Harmonix in a statement. “However, because the Wii’s online capabilities and potential have yet to be fully realized, we wanted to wait before we explored online functionality for Rock Band to ensure that players get the high-quality of online performance they’ve come to expect.”
So for now, I’ll pass. To be completely honest, we don’t really have room for the drum kit in our condo anyway. Fortunately, we have the game at the office, so I can still satisfy my rock cravings. And when I do decide I just have to have Rock Band, I’ll know that the time has finally come to purchase (1) an Xbox 360, and (2) a house.
