the news this morning was saying that the military had stated they were in support of Mubarak.

I think "support" might be overstating it. There was a statement yesterday supporting the delegation of power to Suleiman, when people were hoping they'd explicitly back the protesters at that point. I think officially they tried to be restrained because, well, not everyone agreed -- there were some officers joining the protesters, and I assume others were personally backing Mubarak.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh god, wine coolers. I'm right there with the high school flashbacks. And the nausea.

Does anyone remember Matilda Bay?

'Cause I sure as heck don't.

Wow, Fred, that's heavy. continuing -ma for Egypt.

Mubarak is too brown for today's GOP, but being a cranky old militarist stuck in the past...well, I hear Kyl isn't running again. HM and John McCain should get together and go bowling/yelling at clouds. ION, the Treme soundtrack may be the Best CD In The world

Hrmph. I've gotten in the habit of making a fritata for my weekend breakfasts, the past couple weeks. If I make it Thursday night, I can eat it Fri/Sat/Sun. And the last couple I made were super yum. But the one I made last night? Not amazing. I thought butternut squash would be awesome! And it's...not.

Was it too soft? It doesn't have a really strong flavor for a frittata.

I try to use stronger flavored vegetables which will contrast with the mellow egginess. So I do asparagus a lot. Roasted peppers. Strong cheeses.

Mubarak kept saying he wanted to die and and be buried in Egypt. I guess when the prospect became immediate he changed his mind.

Frittata has totally become my brunch go to. I like sundried tomatoes in them.

Well, previously I was using potatoes, a little pepper and onion (came with the potatoes), and broccoli and cauliflower. I think part of it was that the stuff I used this time was unseasoned, so it was a little more bland (and I forgot to put in the paprika! I used squash and a different broccoli/cauliflower mix). I should've used the asparagus I bought, it's true.
