Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies

By Mike Lesiuk | Published: November 26, 2009
I like cookies soft, and most Peanut Butter Cookies do not fulfill this criteria. Too much peanut butter seems to mess up the consistency… yet the actual taste of peanut butter is so good. These cookies are my solution. The taste of peanut butter is not overpowering; there are only three tablespoons of it in [...]

Advantages of ebooks (in an ideal world)

By Mike Lesiuk | Published: November 12, 2009
So I got to wondering what would happen if ebook publishers somehow had a bunch of money to make ebooks really awesome (instead of kind of lame, poorly formatted, and with limiting DRMs). What would some of the advantages of ebooks be in an ideal world? Email your ebook to a friend with all your [...]

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake

By Mike Lesiuk | Published: November 11, 2009
Fact: Peanut butter is the best thing that exists. When I was in Europe almost no one I talked to had tried peanut butter. The one person I talked to about peanut butter who had tried it thought it was really weird and not very good. For breakfast people would give me really good, delicious, [...]

An alien writes haikus about his trip to Earth

By Mike Lesiuk | Published: November 10, 2009
1. Saw an Earth movie today–what a twist! “Rosebud” was only his sled. 2. Man, don’t fajitas taste so good? I think I will spare this weak planet. 3. Meet the President? To heck with that–I want to go to Disney World. 4. Don’t mind me: I’m just testing my new death-ray on some endangered [...]

Dear Mr. Director of Wildlife Canada, sir

By Mike Lesiuk | Published: November 9, 2009
Dear Mr. Director of Wildlife Canada, sir, I think you should know that the underground world of “Moose vs. Gravity” has really taken off, and if you are interested in this highly lucrative opportunity, all I need is a few more moose to replace the ones that have recently been lost. Most sincerely yours, Mike

Some ideas

By Mike Lesiuk | Published: November 8, 2009
Little helmets and scuba gear so that bees can go underwater. A flashlight that turns on and off really fast, so that when you point it at something, that thing becomes the object of a disco. A game called “Dance Rules Revolution,” in which long, boring rules for various types of dance competitions come on [...]

This is it

By Mike Lesiuk | Published: November 8, 2009
This is it. What is ‘it‘? All I can tell you is what it isn’t. I can tell you that it won’t be pretty. It won’t be anything like some fancy Renaissance painting, or a three-year-old’s drawing of a flower. It won’t be like some super advanced alien starship design that is so impossibly beautiful [...]

Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies

By Mike Lesiuk | Published: November 8, 2009
This cookie is great because it is chocolate chip and it is huge. I would compare it in size to a hockey puck. I got the recipe from here at vanilla sugar, but I took out the nuts, added an ounce of chocolate, and also ground some of the chocolate before adding it to the [...]

Unpublished, hard-to-find short stories by J.D. Salinger

By Mike Lesiuk | Published: November 6, 2009
Back in high school, one of my English teachers gave us “Teddy” by J.D. Salinger to read and then talk about in class, and at the end of the term he put Salinger’s “A Perfect Day for Bananafish” on the final exam. (And on a high school English lit final that’s just cruel, considering how [...]
