Trader Joe's stops selling King Arthur flour, so King Arthur flour creates recipe for Candy Cane Joe-Joe's.

Am I crazy, or does that entry not have the measurements for the ingredients in the recipe?

Recipe is here: [link]

The King Arthur blog always does a long writeup/walkthrough, with a link to the recipe on their recipe site. Annoying as heck, although I love their baking pron.

Excellent Time magazine article on the current health-care system in the US: The Health-Care Crisis Hits Home

Might be good to forward to people who think the current system is fine, and that Obama wants to "ration" health care (as if it's not rationed now)....

When we talk about health-care reform, we usually start with the problem of the roughly 45 million (and rising) uninsured Americans who have no health coverage at all. But Pat represents the shadow problem facing an additional 25 million people who spend more than 10% of their income on out-of-pocket medical costs. They are the underinsured, who may be all the more vulnerable because, until a health catastrophe hits, they're often blind to the danger they're in. In a 2005 Harvard University study of more than 1,700 bankruptcies across the country, researchers found that medical problems were behind half of them — and three-quarters of those bankrupt people actually had health insurance. As Elizabeth Warren, a Harvard Law professor who helped conduct the study, wrote in the Washington Post, "Nobody's safe ... A comfortable middle-class lifestyle? Good education? Decent job? No safeguards there. Most of the medically bankrupt were middle-class homeowners who had been to college and had responsible jobs — until illness struck."

They're much less anxious and feel less stressed when they have made an error.

Huh. I must be doing it wrong. I feel plenty anxious about my errors. And I make plenty of errors.

Hee!

I sent that link to a friend who I was sure had one, but she said no, it was scarves. So msbelle was my other thought -- I know I have seen a friend wearing one.

I had 2, that I had made myself, but I think I have thrown both out now.

I am in a horrible mood. cannot seem to snap myself out of it.
