I spent 2 hours on Metro this morning. Several stations are closed because of flooding. Alternate plans worked, but just barely because at least one line is trying to send trains in both directions on one track.

I was rather surprised to hear that MARC between Baltimore and DC was down. Only the New Carollton line is operating. And there is supposed to be MORE rain.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yesterday afternoon I drove from Minneapolis to Chicago. There was rain. Lots and lots of rain. And lots of traffic. Lots of "Can I slam on my brakes hard enough to avoid hitting the suddenly-stopped car in front of me, but not hard enough to lock the brakes up?"
Am so tired.

My aunt insists that no proper clafouti has pitted cherries,
Is there a spittoon at the table for the pits?!?

The flash flood watch has been extended to tomorrow evening.

Hah. No, this is where you perfect the art of hand-to-mouth-to-plate disposal.

This is what I'm saying! I can see the flavor argument, but the convenience of being able to eat the whole bite of food outweighs it, IMO. I guess this is why I'm not French.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Timelies,
Just skipped a whole bunch. (Surprising, I know).
Sounds like lots of rain and other suck is going on for folks.
My aunt insists that no proper clafouti has pitted cherries, it ruins the flavor.
I don't know what a clafouti is, but the thought of eating anything with unpitted cherries in it makes my teeth hurt.

Personally, my cousin and I have long suspected that she's just lazy and the flavor argument is a cover.
But, in looking through my French cookbook, I see the debate extends beyond my family. I found two cherry clafouti recipes, one with pitted cherries ("Grandmother's" Clafouti—hah, so appropriate) and one without.

I confess that the idea of not having to pit the cherries makes it way more likely that I would make a proper clafouti. But still, it's nuts.
