If you wants awesomeness and you have extra tomatoes hanging around (and who doesn't mid-summer???) try dis:

Tomatoes
Salt and pepper
Garlic cloves (unpeeled)
Olive oil

Slice tomatoes, pop into pan and drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper (you could also throw some fresh or dried basil on it too).  Sprinkle unpeeled garlic cloves around the tomatoes.  Bake uncovered for 1 hour at 180C or until tomatoes are a little brown and yummy lookin'.  Cool a little and chop them up in a bowl.  Squeeze the roasted garlic out of their peels onto toasted Italian bread and top with tomatoes.  Also can add cheese if you like, but I like it straight <3

Ok, is anyone else half as pissed off as I am about what exists of this so-called "new" FMA series???????????

I just can't stop listening to this song. Imogen Heap is amazing - somehow she makes electronica human and warm and amazing.

Here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't try to pretend you're cool...
