That cheese corn is pretty much the same thing. Why would you used powdered cheese from a mac and cheese box when you can just as easily use actual cheese? Buy it already grated, and it's the exact same amount of work.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I just asked T's dad if she could take care of the cats and if she wants to go to the Inauguration with me. Thank god for email (talking to him on the phone is... well it is long and random and really random and tiring!)

“Not dead yet!”
Plus the woman likes her mixed drinks waaaaay too much.
Which would explain the recipes o'fake food. I have never heard of this woman and I think I am glad. I mean, even the cookbook, From the Backs of Boxes, Bottles, Cans, and Jars encourages the use of real food.

So, I'm using Cheater BBQ's Pulled Pork recipe, and, I had heard him on Lynne Rosetto Kasper's show talking about this exact recipe which calls for a half cup of liquid smoke. I think 4 oz of liquid smoke is crazy. But I'm trying it.
I'm fascinated by liquid smoke and how it's made and how it isn't actually a chemical. CRAZY.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, in random convergence news, I'm re-reading Murder Must Advertise, and I realize that's probably the 1930s the woman in Sophia's article wants to live in. Not even Wimsey's world, but the world of the ad agency people. Also, there's a female copywriter, which makes me think of Mad Men, thirty years (and one world war and ensuing backlash, at least in the US) later.

I love my cats. Devi is asleep with her head on my foot. Loki and MK are wrestle washing after having been curled up on me endearingly in different spots. It's fun to watch.

WRT the puppy cam
Puppy cam has notched up 2,464,939 views as I write this. But enjoy it while it lasts because Autumn, Ayumi, Amaya, Aki, Akoni and Ando reached their five-week birthday on Tuesday - and that means there's only three weeks before the puppies leave the nest.
which was run in the Guardian on the 13th, I think.

What will we watch without the puppies?

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

No! For the good of humanity, they must not go off with their future owners who have deposits on them. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few!
ION, do folks know there's a brand-new Star Wars/Robot Chicken on tonight?
