So I can watch the game and drink beer without traveling to my computer.

Merry Christmas Justin Pogge. Please start a stellar NHL career this evening.

Cuppy Cake Recipe!

Ok, so the cupcakes turned out amazing. Some notes, find a restaurant supply place and call them and ask the price on a litre of Rose’s grenadine. That’s what I used for maraschino cherry syrup. I am able to buy it in Spokane for about 4 bucks. And I used grenadine a lot in soda and such. I love the stuff. Also, I didn’t use their frosting recipe, because mom told me that kind of frosting is vile and ridiculously sweet. I mean, it takes TWO goddamn POUNDS of confectioners sugar. Instead, I will give you the recipe for paste frosting. It’s the one my fam always uses. It’s easy and crazy good and sorta tastes like that rad whipped frosting on Costco cakes.

For the cupcakes; Recipe found HERE originally.
 Chocolate Cherry Dr. Pepper Cupcake:

    * 2 ¼ cups of Dr. Pepper
    * 2 cups of sugar
    * 2 ½ cups of cake flour
    * 2 eggs
    * 4 ounces of unsweetened chocolate
    * ½ cup of maraschino cherry syrup
    * 1 teaspoon baking soda
    * 1 teaspoon baking powder
    * 1 cup of unsalted butter (2 sticks)
    * pinch of salt
    * 1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon
    * 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla
    * ¼ cup sour cream

Preheat oven to 325º. In a medium size sauce pan bring Dr. Pepper & cherry syrup to a boil. Place chocolate and butter into a bowl and pour hot Dr. Pepper over, cover and let sit for 10 minutes. Whisk mixture till smooth. Stir in sugar, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, and sour cream. Add flour in 2 parts alternating with the eggs and whisk till smooth. The mixture will be runny… but tasty. Fill cupcakes cups and bake approximately 15-20 minutes or until skewer comes out clean

Paste frosting;
5 tablespoons of flour
1 cup of milk
1/2 cup of butter nice and soft
1/2 shortening
1 cup of sugar

In a sauce pan, on medium heat whisk the milk and flour until it’s stiff. No really, whisk whisk whisk, so it doesn’t burn. Your arm might get tired, that means you are nearly done and if it’s one big glob. Spatula the glob into a bowl, then cover with waxpaper. When I say cover I mean press the paper onto the goo. Refridge blob for about an hour. Let your cuppy cakes rest. Cream the butter and the shortening. Add the blob of goo beat it up and slowly add the sugar. Now mix this good, it will get nice and fluffy and you will have more frosting. Add a splash of vanilla extract to your liking. And a bit of grenadine too. Or if you want chocolate frosting add a bit of cocoa powder. It’s a versatile frosting recipe.

Then, FROST YOUR MOTHEREFFIN CUPCAKES, SON!

NHL Gamecentre

I wonder – does anyone have any information on how successful the NHL Gamecenter subscription stuff is? I think it looks like a great service, but the price just seems a little goofy to me.. $149CAD for a half season pass? Err..

If they dropped it to 50-60bucks for the whole season I’d be all over that. I bet a lot more people would be too (hell, it would push me into cancelling my cable once and for all most likely) but it just seems like their pricing is still a little high.

Anyone subscribe to it now?

I have tried it out, and I think the price is a bit steep a month for what it is.

Are mullets ever justified? It’s one of the only hair styles that bring your attractiveness (not to mention any semblance of seriousness) for both sexes. Women mullets? Not hot. At all.

if you’re such an awesome superstar, a la Jaromir Jagr, that your coolness overrides the mullet hair.
