I look more rad than Lutheranism

We do this with cauliflower all the time- cook slowly with garlic and olive oil till it all sort of melts down, then toss with pasta. It's SO much better than you think it's going to be!

Best way to eat cauliflower -- steam until very very tender (some would say mooshy), then throw in a food processor with milk/cream/butter/sour cream, and perhaps some garlic or your seasoning of choice, and process until very creamy. With the seasoning, it's virtually indistinguishable from mashed (actually, whipped) potatoes.

And quite tasty.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You know, I think broccoli is on the supertaster list.

Yep, definitely.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just don't believe this. I bet it's good, but it's not potatoes.

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

You could probably eat rocks and woodshavings prepared like that.

I like broccoli if it's not all soggy. I wouldn't seek it out, but it's all right.

Seven layer dip is a tragic waste of sour cream.

Hmm...

I need to bring something to a party. Everyone else is bringing desert. Said something needs to live in my office fridge for the day before I take it. I am open to suggestions.

"Woods Hole believes they have the right to insist on a belief in evolution"

As I understand it, Woods Hole did not insist on any kind of belief. They insisted that employees working on papers based on biological research place the results in the theoretical context that is currently supported by all of the data in biology.

Look, I don't have to endorse Communism in order to write about it. I can write about Tito's Yugoslavia and how reflects the diversity of 20th century Communism without being a Communist. But if I am so opposed to Communism that I refuse to dignify it by mentioning it in a paper, then I can't do my job as a researcher at "Big Name Institute for the Study of International Communism."
