Although, given that the eggs remain primarily raw, perhaps best that I stick to pasteurized eggs.
Well, I always think of the eggs as being cooked by the hot pasta. Also, when I do carbonara (in which I will throw just about anything in with pasta, parmesan cheese, and eggs, not just bacon) I also use the local farm super fresh eggs (which I choose to believe have a much lower chance - than the already low chance in farm factory eggs - of having salmonella.) I have been hooked on farm eggs since I first started eating them, about three years ago now!
Wow, that's a lot of paranthetical action there.
The New Yorker endorses Obama.
his current job is at a boutique law firm specializing in wine law. How freaking cool is that?

McCain pulling out of Michigan
Oh goody. More McCain birdcage liners in my mail
Right? Mine, too.
Actually, now that I think about it, all our political mail has been in favor of Obama. Maybe McCain targets his mail to specific ZIP codes; ours is the Cincinnati equivalent of San Francisco. It's VIGOROUSLY liberal, and it has a high percentage of Teh Gays, as well as Teh Blacks and Uppity Wimmins. Maybe Old Guy figured it would be a waste of postage.
What time is the debate? 10? 9?
I just slammed Orson Scott Card, taught my students the word schadenfreude, led two successfulish whole class discussions where they made sense of the Aristotle stuff WITHOUT ME and got a kid to register to vote.
Dude. Even without the fever, that's an awesome teaching day!

I am in the throes of insane library envy
HMOG. I want to marry him and have his ... um ... books.
And on another subject - mammograms are uncomfortable and unpleasant BUT it's once a year, doesn't take long, and may save your life.
Get thee to a radiologist!
