I've seen the beer samplers like Jess's picture, but I haven't seen them called flights. It wouldn't surprise me, though.
I'm gonna guess it's like flights of stairs, things grouped together, rather than flying.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Hil, that's a tv format. I'm guessing the remote button got squished on the button that toggles 4:3 and 16:9.
So, recipes. Laurie Colwin's creamed spinach is here: [link]
Only change I'd suggest is to *either* use pepperjack cheese *or* monterrey jack + jalapenos. (The original recipe is monterrey jack + jarred jalapenos, I usually use pepperjack as a shortcut.)
The mac & cheese I usually make is here.
Sox, I say do a mash-up of the two!
Gah. My hand slipped while I was putting Orajel on my wisdom tooth, and I ended up numbing most of my mouth. This feels really weird and wrong.
New thread! And baby girl! And Barb's birthday! Hurray!
Just one quick comment on the childbirth thing--I'll likely never experience it myself, but I was my friend K's sole birthing coach when I was 21, and it was a truly awe-inspiring, life-changing event for me. I will always be grateful I got to experience it. (Wasn't pretty or pain-free, but it sure was incredible.)
Good news: I may get to tear up the leave slip I was going to turn in for 5 hrs of vacation this Friday.
Bad news: This means I'm still at work.
In re Laurie Colwin - I remember reading something of hers in which she wrote about being a student at Columbia (Barnard?) during the 1960s riots. While everyone else was making signs, making speeches, sitting in, she was making tuna sandwiches for them. And reading the wedding and engagement notices in the NY Times. (The others had the news sections and were reading their coverage.)
And, yes, Happy All the Time is a delight.
Barb! Happy birthday!
Happy birthday, Barb.
I think there is a squirrel rollerskating on my roof.
