I really don't get NY pizza. Why have a crust so weak that you can fold it? I much prefer Chicago thin crust--it's got a really good crackery crust that does a good job of holding the extra sauce we put on our pizza, as well as the toppings (yum, sausage...).

Won't anyone think of the children?

Apparently Chinese mothers are thinking of the children: [link]

I like fractions. I originally reacted to decimals with distaste. So much messier! 5/7, for instance, takes just two numerals. But as a decimal, you need six digits, and that's just to get to the point where they repeat. In theory, you have numbers forever!

Of course, I got over it, just in time for the aptly named irrational numbers. But I still like fractions.

Yeah, I like fractions. I remember we spent a lot of time on them in (I think) sixth grade, learning to find the least-common-denominator so we could add and subtract them and whatnot....

If we're county coffee beans I've had way more than one serving of fruit and veg today.

We've gotten a bit of snow here, finally. Just a dusting, though.

Just had chicken roast with garlic, rosemary, sea salt and olive oil, with carrots and potatoes roasted in pan. So yum! It helped that I was starving.

This also introduced Oz to home roasted chicken. His interest in the chicken was rather...intense. I think I need to watch that chicken closely.

Teen Batman series that never was. I'm all over it, myself. Except one of the pics looks like a pining Barbara Gordon, and that's not on.

Boss, please get out of your current meeting ASAP. I need to talk to you.

Growing up in LA in the 60s my neighbors from the east coast used to comment on how you could not get decent pizza there. When I finally tasted NY Pizza I understood what they were talking about. Been a long time since I've been in Southern California, and of course San Francisco is a different planet from LA as far as food is concerned. I gather that even if decent Pizza is now available in LA it is not common.

My co-editor, Kim, and her husband took me to a pizza place in L.A. last year that was the best I've ever had. When I get back down to L.A. in May I need to go back.

Oh man, that looks awesome. Alas!

Except one of the pics looks like a pining Barbara Gordon, and that's not on.

I wasn't really a fan of that direction in B:TAS either. But in the context of that hypothetical series, I can see why they would go there. At least they're the same age!

I keep a spare long-handled spatula by the door as a back up ice scraper (for when the car door is frozen shut and the ice scraper frozen inside.) It works really well.

My ice scraper was my ticket to LA.

Metafuckingphorically speaking.
