It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

This is one of the neatest art installations I've heard of in a while.

You are invited to place an object, any object, into the chestlike extension. Close the hatch. A yellow light goes on. You hear a sliding sound and a clunk. Your item has temporarily disappeared into the big box, just as dozens of others have, including wallets, photographs, specially made items (artists have brought their own work) and, memorably, a 2-year-old child. (The daughter of another Koenig artist, Erik Parker, spent a few hours in the box, emerging delighted but respectfully mum about her experiences - the Gelitin team had sworn her to secrecy.)

Take a seat. Eventually - the wait can be from a few minutes to more than an hour - a light on the other extension goes on. Open the door, and you'll find your object joined by a brand-new, handmade "duplicate," or at least something that more or less resembles the original.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

most commercial chicken pot pies have way too much bad gravy.

I usually cook up someonions - any any veggie that needs precooking - like carrots and cook them up in a pan. if I am starting with ground meat that hasn't been cooked - I then cook that. Then I make your basic pan gravy - ( butter , flour rue cooked for a least a minute per tablespoon of flour) and I use stock and wine to make the gravy. maybe a little milk or cream if I think I want the richness - but wine is actually a big deal. and then I mix the meat , cooked veggies, frozen peas and onions, and frozen chopped spinach( defrosted and drained is good). then toss in enough of the gravy to moisten and flavor, but no drowning...

all along the way I added spicing to every layer.( onoins, meat, gravy)

chicken and turkey - salt, pepeer, thyme, tarragon

beef - salt, pepper, thyme , curry ( very light )

Pour into a shallow pan - like a pie plate

top with biscut dough ( if you make your own you can flavor the biscut dough with things like the thyme or tarragon)

of course - you can always top with mashed potatos too. Just make sure everything is warmed up before you put the potatos on - ause they don't need to cook - just get warmed up.

comfort food. warms up really well in the microwave.

Denis Leary is the funniest stand up to ever come down the pike.

Like English people think anything is funny. No they don't - they just rag on Americans.

YOU DO NOT LIME!

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

And now is the time on Sprockets when we laugh uproariously at the people submitting last-minute emergency requests, who then send me additional e-mails requesting that I notify other people when the work is done, because they're leaving the office early.

You should invoice them for the BP meds.

(I actually have to go do something for a bit, but that will give me time to come up with all the ways in which Aimee is wronger than a very wrong thing.)
