Need something to take to a holiday get together? This is a sure fire hit. It may sound kinda weird, but you won’t believe how good it is.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Italian salad dressing
- 1 medium green pepper, finely chopped
- 3 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 can (2-1/4 ounces) chopped ripe olives, drained
- 1/3 cup chopped stuffed olives
- 8 flour tortillas (10 inches)
- 2-1/4 pounds shaved deli ham
DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, mayonnaise and Italian dressing until smooth. Stir in green pepper, onions and olives. Spread about 1/2 cup over one tortilla. Top with a seventh of the ham. Repeat six times. Top with remaining tortilla. Cover and chill overnight. Cut into wedges.
Yield: 20 servings.

I have been playing around with different note taking (note capturing?) software for organizing snipits from the web and such. I narrowed my evaluations down to OnFolio, Evernote, and OneNote . OnFolio was good, but I like the added functionalty you could have in “stationary” for OneNote and Evernote. EverNote was my favorite for awhile, but the chronological scrolling page didn’t seem to work for me too well once I got a lot of notes in it. I also had problems with the formatting of some web clippings. The only thing I don’t like about OneNote is that there’s no extension for Firefox. Now I just read about the coming OneNote Mobile and really sold now. If you need something free, EverNote or the Firefox extension ScrapBook are both good.

I have this nasty habit of searching through a million different apps only to find that one of the first ones I tried works the best for me. Such is the case with RSS Bandit which is once again my RSS aggregator of choice. I seem to overthink alot of things. Anyone know how I can stop doing that?

Anthro has the coolest shelf ever… if a shelf can be cool… I think something like this would be a great place to have a PC for quick Googling, charging my cell phone, stash my keys, etc. Basically a “hidden” substitute for the kitchen counter. Kinda reminds me of the concept of the fridge with the touch screen PC on the door. Now where should I put it?

I’m sure everyone who has drank the GTD koolaid has found their way to Merlin Mann’s 43 folders blog. When I saw he had a podcast, I figured “why listen when I can read it” (soon I’ll be able to get it in my prefered format of cuneiform), but you gotta give the podcasts a listen; it’s pretty funny stuff.
