'Harm's Way'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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!
My daily sinus headaches seem to have come back.
I really didn't miss them very much.
At long last, the dessert-y answer to the turducken:

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
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.
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.
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.
Bottom: Pumpkin pie inside a spice cake
that layer alone should be a standard new recipe. yum!

Wow, that sounds disgusting. I've never had turducken, though. Is it disgusting? It sounds potentially awesome.
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.
How do the pies get inside the cakes?
Has anyone here every used FLYlady? (http://www.flylady.net/) I have been and it has been working, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a similar (free) place that was maybe a little less focused on moms and really heteronormative stuff. They are always telling me to 'kiss my husband and love on my babies'. I really like that they email you a 'Flight Plan' every day and the rest of the system, and the philosophy of taking baby steps and not feeling bad, but the "come on ladies"-ness of it makes me feel uncomfortable.
