Thrive to spite them

The Instant Pot is primarily an electric pressure cooker. It has a rice function (for plai white rice but you can cook other types on manual) . You can make yogurt with it, cook stews and soups, roasts, even bake. Cheesecake is supposed to be amazing in it but I haven't tried cheesecake.

I have one. It does take time to come up to pressure and release pressure but the food tastes like it cooked for house and roasts and stew meat cones out tender.

I made carnitas with a Boston butt and used a spoon to scoop out the meat.

Also you can cook frozen things. I've made beef stew from frozen beef and cook frozen chicken breasts.

I love the "will it sous vide" series on lifehacker. Have been thinking of buying my BIL one but not sure if he'd be into it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

there are no recounts in AL,

CNN said there is a recount if the margin is less than 1%, but Jones is leading by more than 1% right now, with 99% of the votes in.

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

I was mistaken. The Alabama Supreme Court stayed an order that ordered the preservation of the digital images of the paper ballots. It basically calls into question the security of the ballots. I read something quickly and didn't immediately follow up.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

According to Rebecca Solnit, "Alabama law requires a margin of 0.5% for a recount. The current #ALSen margin is 1.47%. "

From what I've been reading, Moore can sue for a recount with the current numbers, but if it's granted it's on his own dime. I'm torn between wanting it to happen so he can lose again, bleed his campaign coffers dry, & keep Republicans justifying support of a sexual predator in front of the national news, and being worried the "good ol' boy" network would manage to find another 30,000 Moore votes once it knows that's the target number.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

AL SOS said there'd be no recount. And he's a sumbitch that wanted Moore to win. I think it's over for Roy Moore.

Roy Less.

Roy Fewer?

Matt, thanks for taking care of the injured kitty. I'm glad he let you! Will he be put up for adoption after surgery, or go back to his feral ways?

I'm aiming for adoption; probably keeping him boarded with the vet until he's well enough to be an appealing candidate. I don't want to put him back in the same situation he was injured in, since I'm worried his own clumsiness or lack of fear regarding cars may have caused it. Plus, he's so friendly and non-aggressive he'll make an excellent pet for someone.
