Nice salad — but where’s the main course?

  This is it. We decided to have another New Year’s celebration this weekend, so we are eating light in preparation for the massive pig-out that’s coming.

    This weekend is three days away. You and N are going to be starving if you eat like that until Saturday!

      There’s nobody here in danger of dystrophy, believe me. 🙂 But thanks for worrying!

      If you don’t move much during that time, it’s not that bad. It has protein and carbs and possibly the right amount of fiber.
      
      Incidentally, Clarissa, what are your feelings about purple baby potatoes?

        I have not met a potato I haven’t liked, the purple ones included. 🙂

        “If you don’t move much during that time, it’s not that bad.”
        
        Hey, if you’re alive and breathing, then you’re moving. Here’s two couple rules for good nutrition:
        
        If it isn’t meat, best not EAT!
        If it isn’t warm, weary of HARM!
        Not enough to fill, halfway to KILL!
        Plate full of sorrow, good luck to TOMORROW!
        
        I’ll looking for your holiday feast on Saturday, Clarissa — and I hope that both of us will still be around it enjoy it. 🙂

The GOP can't stop chasing the dream of showing that they, too, have diversity. They'll sacrifice everything on the altar…

Vivek is Vivek. I would never expect anything better from him. But it's galling that the GOP rallied behind him…

Perhaps he would be less clueless if he went to a prom and chill out a little. I’m sorry his…

And the worst part is that Ramaswamy learned nothing and happily continues with the same type of cluelessness.

Poor Ohio. Looks like a lose-lose race. No matter who wins, Ohio loses. Good campaign ad though.

If you have not already read it I suggest The Spectator Bird by Stegner. It won the National Book Award for Fiction…

I can't explain it. It's never been this bad. I'm traumatized by how bad this is. I read this author…

I wonder whether he wrote it as a spoof. Or is he a True Believer?

"Vera by Juan del Val" Why/how did it win an award? Corrupt process? Tasteless judges? Something else?

That's a great meme.

That one is entirely on me. How I managed to mess them up us a mystery.

Yes, the Reconquista is not difficult to teach. Where I feel consistently is teaching that the Aztecs were cannibals and…

"defended Europe from a Muslim invasion and brought God to the Western hemisphere" Have you had success teaching students about…

Do you know the historic penalty of treason, have any of the known miscreants even been charged, let alone jailed?…

What went wrong with the potatoes?

Yes, a great example. Germans are throwing away their country. It's horrible because Germany has so much that's wonderful.

I'll add Germany to the second list too. How pathetic they have become in their self-hate is unbearable to see.

That's what I'm counting on. People need to get fed up with this crap. It's got to be enough at…

"We are perpetrators of endless historic abuse and need to be punished." LOL, Kid, you seriously underestimate the average citizens…

I’d say he definitely didn’t fix it well, or fixed something else and missed the problem.

It's not my oven. My brother-in-law says he recently fixed the oven. I'm very curious about the nature of the…

And the weirdest thing is that they look exactly like us, for the most part.

Your oven probably is at fault. Have you ever cooked anything as big as this turkey before? How big was…

They want us dead. Period.

That's very insightful. I didn't think of it myself but it sounds spot on.

That's the only explanation but the thermometer said the internal temperature was perfect.

Half of it was so awake it was practically alive.

It was a woke turkey.

I would guess that your oven developed a cold spot? And turkeys are so large that they are very sensitive…
