The pics on the weather channel are some of the scariest live pics that I've seen. Living in the central US, that's a lot of scary. At least one is a really big tornado.
Please dissipate and don't come north.

Question about cooking: I've got a recipe for beef burgundy that calls for beef consomme--is that the same as beef broth? Because I have some of that in my fridge right now and would love to get rid of it. Also, it calls for either burgundy wine or another dry red--any recommendations other than burgundy? I don't drink red wine at all, so don't know anything about the different varieties.

Thanks for the moral consistency link. I have done one of the tests, and I came out 100% in moral consistency.
Wow. That was surprising.

I love the first comment on the Cantor story:
"He could have at least waited until they've dug up all the bodies before putting his ideological stake in the ground."
What a fucker.

He really is. There are terrible stories coming out of there and they are potentially in the path of the storms again tonight.

Brenda, I'm about to e-mail you.

Cabernet sauvignon is generally going to be nice and dry. And my experience is that, for wine to cook with, you really don't need to get a bottle that costs more than $10-ish.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I don't drink a lot of wine, so I buy the 4-pack of single serve bottles to keep around for cooking. Works great.

You can totally use beef broth.

For a beef dish, I think a Pinot Noir would do, too. As for consommé, it's reduced and clarified and more flavorful than regular beef broth. You may want to thicken the beef broth with flour or corn starch.

Woohoo! Thanks for all the info!

I don't drink wine at all, so this is a great tip. I'll see if they have that at Jewel. If not, Binny's will be seeing me tonight.

Timelies all!
Ok, Mother Nature, you can stop any time now with the violent storms.
