From the local Facebook sale group, with is sometimes more entertaining than you'd think.

For Sale: Printer. Broken. Couldn't tell you if its a paper jam or totally mangled.... Likely somewhere in between. In a moment of sickening, bourgeois excess we just up and bought a new one instead of figuring it out.

I probably just stepped in it in an online cancer group. In one post, I pointed out that gluten is only bad for people with a demonstrated intolerance and there's nothing inherently bad about GMO foods. I snapped after one woman said to stay away from soy sauce because it was "full of gluten." The ingredients in soy sauce are water, soybeans, salt and wheat, in that order. After fermentation, the wheat is undetectable in many soy sauces. Besides, I don't think anyone is going to sneak behind the barn and down a bottle of soy sauce.

Mmm, mac and cheese.

Ginger, just so you know, moving anything round California right now is super slow because port issues are creating trucking issues and it's all a big mess. So possibly there were four days of getting to the shipping partner, depending on how it was going. At least that appears to be the case based on all my shipments going to Colombia and Costa Rica that are stuck in our warehouse unable to get to port.

BUT my day and half of meetings is OVER and they were productive and enlightening so yay. And I am not going into the office for two hours. I will check my e-mail in case there's something that I REALLY need to do, but otherwise it's the weekend. And I got fed lunch, and it was only a little off my diet.

ION, my Box o' Meat is now being delivered to me by UPS (instead of being delivered to a brewery in the next county where I would pick it up) and that has eroded a significant amount of the warm fuzzies I was getting from having a Meat CSA. Also, "subscribing" is one month at a time, for one delivery a month, so, I dunno.

Yeah, but everyone knows you're just a shill for Big Gluten. Open your eyes, sheeple!

Yes, Monsanto told me to write that.

I'm reading a recipe for Pork and Udon Soup, and the first commenter says, "To cut carbs, I left out the noodles...." So that would make it just Pork Soup.

I am clearly in a Mood.

But did they pay you to write it?

You know that all of us in the reality-based community are getting money under the table from Monsanto, Kraft and Big Pharma.

The comments on recipes/recipe blogs are comedy GOLD. (Alternatively, they can also induce raaaaaaaage.)

Also, All the Comments Left on Every Recipe Blog.

It's mainly the people who substitute almond meal for flour and Splenda for sugar and then give the recipe 1 star who bring out the rage. They're right up there with the people who give a book 1 star because the USPS squashed a corner.

I've been getting irritated lately with all the 1-star book reviews on Amazon whose comments start out with, "I haven't read this yet..."
