The Politics of Pies

i liked this approach to improvisational cooking. i had tried reading a book about how to improvise while cooking but it was really boring and hard to follow. i think it was more of a novel. and miso instead of corn starch - genius!

for later because it has come to my attention that i don't make enough pies

but then what's the point in funding all this research with all our susan g komen money if we're not putting money into the high risk/high reward tests?

where is the good news? this seems like really bad news. and basically why tuitions will continue to be so high.

i think i was getting neil gaimin mixed up with orson scott card in terms of politics. i liked what he wrote here about being insulted by a Minn. republican tho, whatever his actual politics are.

responses!

1. i've seen them around the mall and at first thought it strange and then realized that people walk around the mall (not everyone works in an office in downtown all day) and have nothing to eat but hot dogs for miles (miles without anything else to eat - not miles of hot dogs, I assume). seems like a smart move. food trucks for the win.

2. I guess I should bookmark this and refer to it often.

3. there's a new article on the secret service messing up after bullets apparently hit the white house while sasha was inside. however, the article itself points out that they couldn't have stopped the shots themselves and no one was hurt. and if sasha had been shot, then they probably would have noticed that. but yes, this article about closing down the sidewalk of the white house is crazy talk. (apparently obama gets a lot of death threats tho - I think that was in the more recent wapo article about the secret service).

4. yeah i saw that. it's all "well we've been hurt by racist epithets our whole lives so if you endure it for a few minutes from us, you should count yourself as lucky." bully the bullies, as it were.

1. what do you mean the anti-warren buffett? because they're putting their money where their mouths are?

6. maybe if they had some optional training that would cost the players some money? that way they have some buy-in?

11. that switch analogy is a good one. i'll remember it.

7. what's the last stop if not death? and the thin train goes there as well.

in april of 2013, you looked at an article that examined a different reason why women may work less/earn less.
