In Peru they love to multi-starch. All meals have some form or two of potato (they DID invent the potato after all -- and the variety is impressive) and usually some rice as well.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Just checking the news really quick. Turns out Karl Rove was Matt Cooper's source on Joe Wilson's wife being a covert operative for the CIA. I doubt Rove will be found guilty of breaking the law, but it's nice that it's out there.

I thought the best restaurant in the world was in Napa. Maybe it's the hardest restaurant to get a reservation at.
I can't remember which place has it, but I know somewhere around here offers an "Irish" pizza with sliced potatoes as a topping. I haven't tried it, but it sounds good. I don't know if there's such a thing as too much potato for me

I've already spent 15 minutes yelling at insurance agents this morning, and I can tell it's not over yet. Stoopid State Farm.
Sorry Perkins, I've always had great service from State Farm.

More on mayo, and my mother's cooking - she always served Jell-O with mayo. Is that an Iowa thing or a Depression-era thing, or what?
It's a '50s Midwestern thing. My grandmother did that. Jell-O with mayo on one limp piece of iceberg lettuce is a "salad." Jell-O with whipped cream is a "dessert." Neither is anything I ever want to see again.

Fries w/ ranch dressing = the best.
yes, especially if they also include melted cheese and possibly bacon.

I had the best fish and chips of my life in Reykjavík. But I haven't been to England yet, so there may be better out there. Hard to imagine, though.
My mom's a terrific cook. But she got sick of doing it for her 45+ years of married life, and now it's pretty much restaurants or frozen dinners at my folks'. Dad's not a bad cook, either.

I doubt Rove will be found guilty of breaking the law, but it's nice that it's out there.
Shame that the DCI is now a Bush toady, or the CIA would be able to refuse identifying personnel to the Administration based on this. Still, it will be kind of funny if, after Rove is found innocent and made into some kind of hero for this, he contracts a mystery case of flesh-eating virus on his squidgy bits.
