World Cup: Where to Watch in Palo Alto/Stanford (San Francisco P My hometown of Palo Alto, California is a melting pot of cultures, and as international community as you are likely to find anywhere in the world. Home to Stanford University, Palo Alto is an upscale mecca for students, entrepreneurs, and regular folks alike. When the World Cup takes center stage every four years, Palo Altans and our neighbors from around the world gather to celebrate our national allegiances, and commiserate our losses to soccer powerhouses like Germany, Brazil and...Ghana? This time around, I was determined to find a way to celebrate the event with other people, so I investigated where there were gatherings to watch the games being held in South Africa. Although the HD TV in my house is just fine for viewing, it's more fun to watch with a group. Here are some of the places I've watched these past few weeks, in case you're looking to watch the elimination games in Palo Alto or Stanford: Pasta?

VINE: German kid screams, will haunt your dreams Germany struggled with Algeria for quite a while, then suddenly decided to start playing and finished them off. Did they get paid to take a dive (or many, many dives since we’re talking about the World Cup)? Were they going for some bizarre “screw around with poor unfortunate country and still beat them” X-Box achievement? Did they get too exciting over the thought of getting to take it to France again? All are possibilities. But there’s one thing you hadn’t considered yet: their secret weapon. No, we don’t mean the Nazis (ethnic cleansing isn’t exactly what we would call “humor”). We mean a little boy. And screamed so loud you could hear it from space: (Vine via @SBNationGIF) “YOU’LL NEVER TAKE MEIN COOOKIEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!”” Okay so that may have been exaggerated, slightly.

Lori's Skillet Smashed Potatoes Recipe I recently spent a weekend in the backwoods of Mendocino County. Let me emphasize that when I say backwoods, I'm not kidding. We're talking a few miles off the nearest paved road where a high-clearance 4x4 is a necessity, past numerous cleverly-rigged hydroponic hippie buses (this is clearly where old buses go to die), beyond a pack of car-chasing, fang-toothed guard dogs, and eventually down into the riverside sanctuary that is my friend Lori Narlock's cabin. How rustic you might ask? "The cabin is very rustic. And then: "Please bring clogs or other slip on shoes for using at night if you need to get up and use the loo--there have been a few creepy crawlers show up every now and then." I later found out that creepy crawlers=scorpions. "Let me please add that this is not a "Tahoe" cabin, and any slippers or such that you wear around the cabin may very well get filthy - so I would leave your favorite white slippers at home." So, here's how she made her skillet mashed potatoes. Print Recipe
Pasttata I have never been the biggest fan of quiches or frittatas. They aren't bad, but I would much rather an omelet or just scrambled eggs any day of the week. To me, it is easier and tastier and so why bother with the extra effort a quiche requires? Similarly, my grandmother used to make a baked egg and pasta dish she called pastair (sp?) Pulling the marjoram leaves off the stalk for the breakfast sausage. Mandi's new thing is to make paste out of these flavoring components. Here is that leftover beef I was telling you about. Pat it down so it is a nice big sausage patty. The potpourri of cheeses we usually have in the fridge at any given time. Now it is the morning and everything is ready! Bacon in, bacon crispy, bacon out. YUM sausage. Some chopped onions in there too. This is 7 eggs and ¾ pound of pasta. Cheese in. Cooked bacon and sausage in. Pan needs to be nice and hot and covered in oil and/or bacon and sausage fat. Patted down We finally have a pan that can also go in the oven!
