Kickin' back

This evening, we prepped part of the Thanksgiving meal; I was responsible for the traditional cranberry relish mold. Since Grandma isn't doing any of the cooking, none of us had made this before, though my Uncle was adamant it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without it. Knock wood, I think it turned out OK. We'll see tomorrow. Now, I get to relax.

The Discovery Channel is so cool. Right now I'm watching Mega Builders: Bangkok Mega Bridge. Pretty cool stuff: a double-span cable-stayed bridge built in a record time, four months.

Plus, a couple episodes of mythbusters. I love Jamie's moustache.

If you're interested, the New York Times did an article on Mythbusters just a few days ago:

The Best Science Show on Television?

I've only caught snippets of the show, but I've liked what I've seen.

"Failure... is always an option".

Looks like a good article. I'll read it in more depth, later on today. Thanks!

I believe [livejournal.com profile] dr_tectonic has a thing for both of them...

It's a fun show.
