The other night, I was very lazy. I added nuked (frozen) broccoli to "Annie's Organic" pasta shells & cheese and OMG it was good.
Mal: You tell me right now, little Kaylee, you really think you can do this? Kaylee: Sure. Yeah. I think so. 'Sides, if I mess up, not like you'll be able to yell at me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
baked beans (still perfecting this recipe)
Not vegetarian, but Alton Brown's baked beans are the best I've ever made:

That looks like it would taste great even without the bacon!

It's actually the beans I can't get soft enough, but that was the next recipe I wanted to try.

Rolling Stone summarizes the fucking of the economy: [link]
People are pissed off about this financial crisis, and about this bailout, but they're not pissed off enough. The reality is that the worldwide economic meltdown and the bailout that followed were together a kind of revolution, a coup d'état. They cemented and formalized a political trend that has been snowballing for decades: the gradual takeover of the government by a small class of connected insiders, who used money to control elections, buy influence and systematically weaken financial regulations.
The crisis was the coup de grâce: Given virtually free rein over the economy, these same insiders first wrecked the financial world, then cunningly granted themselves nearly unlimited emergency powers to clean up their own mess. And so the gambling-addict leaders of companies like AIG end up not penniless and in jail, but with an Alien-style death grip on the Treasury and the Federal Reserve — "our partners in the government," as Liddy put it with a shockingly casual matter-of-factness after the most recent bailout.

Gross, tommy!!
And now that I have made up my mind (well, narrowed it down...)about slow-cookers, I am obsessing over creamer/sugar combos.

I saw Hugh Laurie on Leno/Letterman/whoever last night, shilling Monsters vs Aliens, and it's always cognitive whiplash to hear Bertie Wooster's voice coming out of Gregory House's face. I wonder how many people who only know him as House think the world is putting them on when they see him doing the comedy stuff. Hearing Dr. Cockroach gives me mental whiplash.
Heaven knows it took me several weeks to stop saying, "Is it a different Hugh Laurie?"
