1894 Restaurant & Tavern

1894 Restaurant & Tavern

Kensington isn’t exactly packed with great dining spots, but we’ve had a couple of nice early dinners at 1894. The highlights there are the patio, decent beer selection, and friendly service.

W3 Total Cache CDN broken?

As I’m sure you know, I like W3 Total Cache – it’s a fairly painless way to implement a variety of methods to speed up a site and reduce server resource usage. I especially like being able to offload media library and other files to a content delivery network like Amazon S3. Earlier today I noticed that for a particular page only some of the images were pointing at their S3-mirrored versions. Apparently I’m not the only one having this problem. In my case at least, the fix was easy: clear out the unsuccessful file transfers queue and refresh the cache.

Set your oven to 400 F. Soften up some vegetables in a skillet with butter. Add some sausage. Whisk up enough eggs and creme fraiche (or cream) to cover the vegetables and sausage. Grate cheese on top and put it in the oven. It’s done when it’s fluffy and golden brown. If you let it rest a couple of minutes it’ll release from the pan nicely.
