I ve had a robin red breast hanging out with me while I ve worked in the garden this week. he or she hasn t seemed scared at all. free water free worms and all the gypsy moth caterpillars it can catch. nice. i wonder if it is one of the pair that nested in our plum tree last year....

Bitter greens (like turnip) need some liquid to help them cook out some of the bitterness. So you need to braise a bit, then sauté. Try adding some chicken or vegetable broth. And don't forget that hit of vinegar at the end....And bacon. Oh yes, bacon.

I feel the world has taken me and shoved my head into the locker of the worlds stupidity and is relentlessly slamming the door on my head.

If it's any consolation I believe I saw it after those days.

I've also tried chocolate covered bacon and IMHO the bacon does not improve on the chocolate--quite the opposite. Not something vile, but not something that I'd try again, although I do like both chocolate and bacon when not in combination with one another.

I like Marinara sauce and Cherry Garcia ice cream, but I'm not going to pour one on top of the other...

Something wierd happened on the commute into work today.
For about 10 miles, all three lanes of cars moved at the same pace. Cars to the right of me (I was in the left lane) were next to me the whole time.
A whole block of cars as far as I could see were frozen in their relationship to each other moving down the highway.
Usually there are different speeds and slowdowns in each lane independant of the other lanes speed/slowdowns.
Took me a bit to realize it but it was quite confusing when I finallu did notice it.

This Sunsetter Retractable Awning commercial is running again:



Am I the only one who finds this couple incredibly creepy?

They come across like they ought to be Ethan and Theresa Burke's neighbors in Wayward Pines... :?

I like the way they dub and paste the price in.....


....it really annoys me the way meat is so saturated with water these days, it really changes the way you have to cook it. not for the better either. stupid grocery stores....

It's the whole over-the-top way they're trying to come across as the ideal "we're so happy" suburban couple...

The wife in particular seems heavily medicated...
