A picture of a hot dog "undermines everything we [vegans] stand for"? Really? Everything?
Yeah, that blog has a huge history of that sort of hyperbole. They were also the ones who tested food from a bunch of vegan restaurants in LA a few years ago and "proved" that a bunch of it wasn't vegan. (There was one restaurant where I believed it -- that restaurant claimed to use a particular brand of vegan cheese, which is a widely-available brand, and I've seen a bunch of pictures of food from that restaurant where the cheese is obviously not that kind. The other ones, though, the tests mostly picked up small levels of egg and dairy, and I think that levels that small might have been cross-contamination from either the factories where ingredients were made or from kitchen workers not washing their hands thoroughly.)
Your state tax return may still be due on the 15th, but Federal is the 18th.
You almost had me relaxing. I filed Federal ages ago. It's state I'm leaving until the last minute. I'll do it when I get home today. Which might be soon. This week sucks abjectly.

Due to the federal Emancipation Day holiday on April 15, 2011, tax returns filed and payments received on April 18, 2011, will be considered timely.
I once made a loaf of challah that could have been a recipe illustration - that one time it came out absolutely gorgeous. I got the braid perfect, the egg wash on the surface came out the perfect shade of brown ... sigh ... tasted good, too.
Erin, thank you. Just let me know how much I need to send you.
Onerous task: reading up on how to do subcutaneous fluid injections on cats. (Guess who has decided to stop drinking water, and is showing very little interest in food? ARgh.)
Good Lord. We have an author yelling at us for publishing the incorrect city for his job affiliation. We pulled the galley, and indeed, what we published is what he specifically corrected on the author galley. IOW, we did exactly what he told us to, and now he's yelling about it. He gave us the wrong damn city and expected us to...be telepathic?
My suggestion was to e-mail him a copy of the file he sent us, with that section highlighted, and to ask him exactly what part of HIS correction is the problem.
No one takes my suggestions OR lets me talk to authors. Because I escalate.
and they took a stock photo of a plate of ribs and photoshopped the bones out.
I'm sorry some people feel their world is all askew, but that's really funny.
Nothing I make ever looks like the picture, except cakes.
I'm working on my taxes too. I've been avoiding them because I know I owe a lot. Taxes (and health insurance) are the two worst things about self employment.
My suggestion was to e-mail him a copy of the file he sent us, with that section highlighted, and to ask him exactly what part of HIS correction is the problem.
That's what I'd do. Only, you know, translated into passive-aggressive corporate bullshitspeak.
The internet is so weird. Since we put our new fancy dancy welcome to the 90's web form mailing list signup up, we got two new subscriptions, one from Morocco and one from the Ukraine. Who in the Ukraine is fascinated with music lessons for Navajo kids?
