I had Pepperidge Farm soft-baked oatmeal raisin cookies for breakfast. I guess it's not going to be a good nutrition day. Raisins count, don't they?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Not if you ruin a perfectly good oatmeal cookie with them.

It is not a good week for bathrooms. I thought I heard water running and went to check and found a flooded bathroom (not so slowly trickling into my bedroom). Turns out the balloon floaty thing snapped right off. Yuck.

There is a joke here, about breaking ball cocks and not dating someone at the moment but I'm having a hard time finding it. SPP needs coffee.

do you have to refrigerate a cake if the frosting is a ganache of cream and chocolate? (I ask because the frosting is so nice and shiny when you first make it, but dulls when you refrigerate it, and I need to take it somewhere tomorrow night)

Hmm... I've had several chef friends insist people are somewhat bananas with the militancy of food codes/refrigeration and that stuff. I'd say if your apartment isn't hot and muggy it should be fine if its covered. We always kept cakes and half-eaten cakes on the counter in those cake dishes and nobody ever died of it.

Raisins count, especially in oatmeal cookies.

This is so cool: When killer kangaroos roamed the earth

Australian paleontologists find traces of demon ducks, other species

There should be a movie - Killer Kangaroos and Demon Ducks vs. Samurai Penguins.

SYDNEY, Australia - Forget cute, cuddly marsupials. Paleontologists say they have found the fossilized remains of a fanged killer kangaroo and what they describe as a "demon duck of doom."

A University of New South Wales team said the fearsome fossils were among 20 previously unknown species uncovered at a site in Australia's northwest Queensland state.

Professor Michael Archer said Wednesday that the remains of a meat-eating kangaroo with wolflike fangs were found, as well as a galloping kangaroo with long forearms that could not hop like a modern kangaroo.

"Because they didn't hop, these were galloping kangaroos, with big, powerful forelimbs. Some of them had long canines (fangs) like wolves," Archer told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio.

Let's talk about breakfast

Scrambled eggs with parmesian cheese, bacon, and iced coffee from Cipriani.

It SOUNDS unhealthy, but since I'm all low-carb again I can feel virtuous.

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

Bagel from a cart, coffee from home.

"demon duck of doom."

Oh, I don't think paleontologists should come up with cutsie nicknames for their discoveries just to get more coverage in the mainstream press. That's our job.

The apocalypse must be nigh.

Living in France really cured me of the refrigeration mania, but I will say that I agree with Sail on the cherries--they stay crisp in the fridge-- even if you wash them before storage.
