Yeah, I wish I had a sukkah.

You can totally get one from the Sukkot Discounters down the street from me!

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

900-Pound Giant Squid Joins Cast Of 'The View'

"After the squid's years spent dwelling on the ocean floor, I think viewers will be interested to hear its take on the hustle and bustle lifestyle of New York City," said ABC programming director Cyndi DeHart. "And personally, I can't wait to see how the squid interacts with Whoopi. Watch out!"

"This sassy cephalopod takes no prisoners," she added.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So awesome. But I don't have anywhere to put one! Also, what with not being Jewish, it seems possibly inappropriate. "Atonement? No thanks -- but I will take the fun sleepover party!!"

Is it bad that upon reading this my immediate thought was "Star Jones is returning to 'The View?'"

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Happy birthday to Matt, Cash, and megan! That's a nice trio.

Happy Thanksgiving to Canada, and happy Sukkot.

Okay I have a question. Why was the A/C in my office not working when it was 95 degrees outside? And now that it's working, what eejit decided to set the thermostat to 50? Is there no such thing as a happy medium around here?

I would like to know why it's not warm like they said it would be here! And why it's chilly in my office as well. I would have worn boots and not shaved my legs! t /tmi

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Food porn:

My fave thing in fall is bagna cauda, and we wait till the first local cardoons arrive at the green market in November and serendipitously white truffles arrive from Piemonte in Italy. We make the warm garlic anchovy bath and serve it like fondue in a terra-cotta bowl over a little candle heater. Then we dip the raw cardoons along with fennel, raw pumpkin slices, celery, the last radishes and thin pieces of raw cabbage in over and over again until the bagna cauda is almost gone. Then we crack a couple of eggs in the dregs of the bowl and cook till softly scrambled and shave white truffles over the eggs and eat them on little crostini drizzled with new olive oil. Yeow.

Damn. And here I thought only Nigella could make bagna cauda sound like porn.
