Betsy and I decided to cancel our cable package this week. I have the vague impression that we’ll now watch less useless TV. That said, at the same time I figured out how to stream instant Netflix on our Wii so I’m sure that will be a time-suck trade-off. Also, the cable companies won’t tell you this openly, but it turns out that we still get a fair number of stations without paying a red penny.

Basically any show we have an interest in watching can either be seen on a local station, via instant Netflix, or over the Internet on Hulu or other instant watch options. Cable is so 2005 people.

A poll for next week…

And some links!

Strawberry-Rhubarb Tart – It’s officially spring and almost summer which means strawberries! The colors in this tart just kind of rocked my world (@ Healthy Delicious)

White Pizza with Ramps – I alway see ramps this time of year and I’ve only cooked with them once or twice. This pizza might have to happen really soon for me though. Rivka’s dough recipe looks really solid. (@ Not Derby Pie)

Tipsy Affogato! Ok. So this looks delicious, but I’m mainly linking to it because it’s funny and apparently my cat’s name would also be a good first name for a drag queen. I can’t disagree with that. (@ The Bitten Word)

Coffeehouse Cookies – I know it’s unlike me to link to two sweet things in one post… I don’t normally have a sweet tooth, but these cookies looked to good to not show them a little link love. (@ Erin Cooks)

Have a good weekend everyone. If you need me, I’ll be watching re-runs of Mystery Science Theater 3000 on streaming Netflix…
