Ting-mo! If it's the Tibetan bread, anyway. I like it when it's hot, but it loses all appeal once it gets cool.

That exactly, on all counts.

Full as I still am, now I want a Shack burger. DAMN YOU, SHAKE SHACK.

Now I'm madly craving hot naan and a mango lassi and something curried and sag paneer, and I hate all of you, because my craving will go unfulfilled.

I OD'ed on mac&cheese years ago

Is that even possible?

It is. Emmett's godfather, a fantastic cook, made the James Beard macaroni and cheese recipe which starts by reducing cream and then adding in pounds of cheese. Plus butter. He ate it every day for a week and gave himself a serious dairy allergy.

And people say that packet of yellow stuff not entirely unlike cheese in the Kraft box is no good for you.

DAyum. Love that James Beard though. but have none of his cookbooks. It's better that way.

Such a thing exists?

Yep. We used to mix it 50/50 with Tang.

I love the Kashmiri Chai, and may try that if the instant route fails.

At least he was reducing the cream, otherwise ... nah, there's no otherwise.

This week is the week of me being handed other people's tasks. This week also seems to be the week of people misjudging effort required to complete tasks. This week will *not* be the week of nagging ita.

I was at a home with one of these recently. It looked very nifty indeed. But it can't play iTunes music shop protected AAC files. It doesn't mention if it can play other vendors' protected files. Apple's been pretty clear that iTunes is to sell iPods. The AAC protection ties into that. However, as digital music becomes more and more commonplace, is there any hope that music DRM will go by the wayside as people try and integrate it into everything?

oy. School starts Monday. Isaac's daycare starts today, so I'm trying to get all my handouts squared away before classes begin.

So far, the best thing that happened today was finding a box of Godiva chocolates that didn't get to my desk until after maternity leave started. Turns out old candy still tastes good.

Ah, actually it was Ethiopian injera that I was mistakenly thinking of, rather than naan! I do recall not liking naan at the Indian restaurants I've had it at, but it wasn't the "am I supposed to eat this or use it to polish my shoes?" reaction I had to the gray mystery bread.

Mystery solved! Although I feel sure, Matt, that you have still not had good naan, because good naan is heavenly. Brushed with butter and garlic, or with mint or cumin dusted on top... hey! Now I'm hungry again.
