Trust my rage

The NYT has this picture on their front page of a pile of bodies, including little children. I know it's news and feel sort of obligated to process it, but I really wish I hadn't seen those images. Or that there had been some warning or something.

I watched some news last night and I had to turn it off. It is too much.

Separately - a while back there was a brief discussion of crock pots and I finally bought a 1.5 qt baby crock pot. I started a pot roast this morning and MAN the house smells fantastic. I can't wait to NOM!!! Megan - thanks for the recipe!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

My daily sinus headaches seem to have come back.

I really didn't miss them very much.

Bottom: Pumpkin pie inside a spice cake
Middle: Apple pie inside a yellow cake
Top: Cherry pie inside a white cake, all surrounded by cream cheese frosting

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

cnn.com has on a similar picture on the front page of their website, and it is a lot to take in when you aren't expecting to see something so horrible.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I got the fixings for chili that I'm going to make on Saturday. I figure I'll put it in the crock pot before heading over to the bookstore for the afternoon, and it should be done by the time I get back five hours later.

Wow, that sounds disgusting. I've never had turducken, though. Is it disgusting? It sounds potentially awesome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think it looks disgusting, but sounds awesome.

Each layer individually sounds pretty awesome to me, but all three on top of each other sounds like way too much.
