Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

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

You know, whoopie cushions cost only $.99 too, and they don't need batteries, either.

Well, the whole idea is that one device can take the place of your whoopie cushion, virtual lighter, virtual beer-drinking device, Dr. Horrible Van Remote Control, etc....

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 are both on the NAUGHTY! List. You both get coal.

Dude! Pete is SANTA! Adorable.

Oh, that is easily one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen. Why is this woman on television again?

Crap. My sister and BiL have to be driving through this to get to Wisconsin for Christmas here at our house.

Ok, the letters in that "new take latkes" article are hysterical... particularly since the author feels the need to comment on them repeatedly. My favorite response?

This whole notion that there is no risk to pigging out once a year isn’t really true.

And she's going to blog about it!

I finally get to go back home today. My parents have been getting the floors in our house refinished, so we've been staying at a hotel the past two nights. Really not my idea of a relaxing vacation.

The idea of baked latkes is ridiculous. The entire point of latkes is that they're fried in oil! The potatoes are just there because they were a convenient thing to fry. In places that don't have many potatoes, Jews fry other things for Chanukah. (And even in places that do have potatoes, we still make sufganiyot, which are kind of like jelly donuts. Yum. Haven't had any yet this year, because I'm with my parents, and my mom is on a diet, which means everybody's on a diet.)

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I think it's funny that Wisconsin has such a large German, Polish, eastern European contingent that one of the first things they taught us how to cook in Home Ec was latkes. You must know how to make these if you're going to be a good housewife!
