I think it's always better to get it measured by someone else. There's some compromise involved in handling the tape yourself.

Dag, this stir fry turned out real good: Mushrooms, tofu, purple onions, red pepper, spinach, red lettuce, green onions.

The secret ingredient was: fun! No wait, the secret ingredient was actually ginger. It really makes everything else pop. I'm glad I didn't give up on that little jar of crystallized ginger.

I'm getting a lot more confident in making my own sauces for stir fry. I used to just get a bottle of something at TJ's, now I'm all, "Soy sauce, mustard, honey, hot sauce, ginger, garlic and go!" I marinated the tofu in that sauce and it was so good.

ita, have you seen this Criminal Minds vid: [link]

I don't often watch Glee (timing issues) but I'm trying to figure out whether to be pissed off or not. Theme was feminism and then in the final scenes they had two boys fighting/agreeing not to fight over a girl in front of her, without consulting her and I can't decide whether that was a deliberate juxtaposition of "they still don't get it" or just the writers don't get it. If the former, seemed pretty...subtle, and I fear the message is lost. If the latter, well, grr. I don't know why this is pissing me off tonight, but it is. I might take it differently if I watched regularly, but this just pinged wrong.

Thanks, Perkins--actually, I don't know if I've ever seen a Criminal Minds vid before. Now I want to hug the BAU. Ah, team.

just the writers don't get it.

I'm pretty sure they don't get it.

sarameg, Glee has lots of issues like that, where the writers have a character say something right and then do something wrong and it's really questionable whether it's the writers or the characters who don't get it. I really don't know how to interpret it.

Yeah, Glee is fluffy enough that you just don't know. But from the few I've seen, they seem to occasionally climb on hobbyhorses they've made from kindling and it all falls apart.

I can't do a meara, but I wanted to chime in--or, well, complain-- about the fact that my law degree has not resulted in an office for me.

OTOH, all the offices in my division (except the Captain's) have no windows. Only cubicles have windows, and I have a huge window looking west over the Bay, with a view of the Bay Bridge and SF and Mount Tam.

So I shouldn't complain too much.

In other news, I sauteed together onions and mushrooms and skinny asparagus and had it over pasta with parmesan and pepper, and it was good.

What's so special about Graeter's ice cream? Is it better than B&J?

I like to give the writers the benefit of the doubt and say they're writing for teenagers who are perpetually clueless. I think the Finn/Jesse pissing contest is no different than the Rachel/Preggers Girl pissing contest before the break.
