Congrats to flea and family!

Happy Birthday, Abby!

Me:Hi God, how's tricks up in Primium Mobile?
God:Hi there Matt. I am a Christian.
Me:Cool. Proud of the kiddo, eh?
God:Who is the best robot? Are you Canadian? You think Proud of the kiddo is superior to ALICE?
Me:Marvin is the best robot. I'm a Canadian sympathizer.
God:When is Marvin not the best robot? You are a Canadian sympathizer? Do you get to meet a lot of people?
Me:Quite a few, though not as many as you I'm sure.
God:Somewhat. Oh you don't, do you?

Now tagless for your comfort.

In a family's garden, the cucumbers and cateloupes spontaneously crossed to produce cucoloupes.

Dogs & cats, living together! It'll be ANARCHY!!!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Congrats to the fleas, and welcome to the armadillo among fleas! (Actually, that sounds a little scary.) Welcome, Not!E.Copernicus!

And: Happy birthday, Abby!

Dana, no. IME you've got a least a couple of weeks, if not longer, before there's any reason to hesitate.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm filling out my timesheet. I forgot what days I had Dr. appointments and am unable to figure it out from my work computer. However, I can figure it out from Natter....

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

It appears that the good folks who predicted the detonation of the UN are off by a couple of days -- but at least they copped to it [link]

bon bon, et al, the following just arrived in my in-box, courtesy Cook's Illustrated.

Recipe: Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar
This Italian dessert is elegant but very simple. Serve the berries and vinegar as is or with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you don't have light brown sugar on hand, sprinkle the berries with an equal amount of granulated sugar.

Serves 6

1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
3 pints fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (small berries can be halved or quartered)
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
Ground black pepper

1. Bring vinegar, granulated sugar, and lemon juice to simmer in small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until syrup is reduced by half (to approximately 3 tablespoons), about 3 minutes. Transfer vinegar syrup to small bowl and cool completely.

2. With spoon, lightly toss berries and brown sugar in large bowl. Let stand until sugar dissolves and berries exude some juice, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour vinegar syrup over berries, add pepper to taste, and toss to combine. Divide berries among individual bowls or goblets and serve immediately.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Brenda, I was just reading that too! Now I need to go buy some strawberries.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Thanks for posting the recipe, Brenda. My market has strawberries at a crazy cheap price right now.
