Thanks for linking to the flash mob, Shir. Love it.
Oh, wish I had some money for the DVD sale. Better that I don't, probably, and I've got a bunch of DVDs that I haven't watched yet. I filled a cart and deleted it, just for practice.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

I have a couple of friends (smonster and Calli are friends with them too!) who got pregnant with triplets three months after they got married. To say it changed their lives is an understatement. They just turned ten yesterday. Ten!
I got sent home from work early today for being a walking germ. Nobody wants my cold.

Shir that is great. Even though described how the sudden attention phony and probably promotion for a right wing party, I'm not quite clear how the flash mob was a fuck you to the media, rather than to the men who try to impose segregation and modesty and such. I'm not disagreeing, just don't quite get it.

What ever it was, it was gorgeous to see. Thanks for posting it, Shir!

Sure, but I'll bet there is something I missed or something I don't know about Israel that will make what Shir said make sense.

I'm really starting to think that cooking black beans from dried is not worth my time, energy, or the ginormous effing mess that results when they inevitably boil over. Grrr...

They're like 90 cents a can at TJs. So two cans plus Meatless Ground plus whatever tomatoey thing I can find on sale (by which I mean some kind of cheap diced tomato) and mushrooms/garlic plus a slew of spices (what I think of as a Moroccan mix: cinnamon, cloves, cumin, cayenne, allspice) and you've got a pot of veggie chili for about six bucks. I make it all the time for JZ's lunch and it lasts most of a week. (It's very tasty too. Don't stint on garlic!)

Well, I don't have a TJs, but canned black beans are pretty darn cheap. Just not as cheap as dried. And thanks for the recipe idea...

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Sounds like the dried have an extra aggravation factor that wipes out the monetary savings.

I have never had good luck with dried beans, though after the first two times, I just gave up, so "never" is sort of overly dramatic there... yeah, I go with canned now, too.
