One question about the enchilada recipe - what is "prepared taco sauce"? (I know this sounds snotty, but I'm dead serious. I have never heard of this product and am trying to imagine what it is. Is it tomato sauce with chili powder, basically?)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Thanks, Teppy.

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

Those little packets you get from Taco Bell?

I've never eaten at Taco Bell.

Clicking on Hil's link, I'm still not recognizing the product, but a quick Google for recipes tells me it's basically tomato sauce with chili powder in it.

Pretty much, yeah. It's usually smooth like canned tomato sauce, but some brands have a few bits of onions and peppers mixed in.

Y'know, one of those Taco Bell packets is great for an omelette.

Now that I have a bicycle and days are getting short, I've been researching bike lights. So, how cool is this? Hydrogen Powered Fuel Cell Bicycle Light By Angstrom of Vancouver

Angstrom Power Inc. is a Canadian company develops and commercializes micro-structured fuel cells for a wide variety of applications. They currently offer such products as the pictured bike light, a standard micro-flashlight, and a general purpose charger. See photo after the fold for a helmet-mounted charger application. Purchase can be arranged by filling out a form. From the Angstrom website: "Angstrom's micro hydrogen™ bike lights can be affixed to a helmet or handlebars. Each bike light runs on hydrogen that is stored in a 21cc cartridge, which provides the equivalent energy of about 10 AA disposable alkaline batteries. The only by-product is water vapor. The light provides about 20 hours of continuous run-time between refueling. Cyclists refuel their cartridges with hydrogen gas. Refueling takes only minutes to complete".

No info on cost - the company's website is rather limited: [link]

Soup is cooking on the stove!

My new tights from Sock Dreams arrived today. I do believe I will be rocking some stripey tights at the office this week.
