I read "vodka sauce" and think "cream sauce with a bit of tomato." It's definitely way less acidic than a traditional tomato sauce, but also way more creamy which is not really my personal bag.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

Cream of tomato soup doesn't call for vodka, does it?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not in my experience.

"Vodka sauce" just doesn't fit comfortably in my brain. I'm sure it's lovely but I think I will continue to irrationally exclude it from my worldview.

Vodka sauce is delicious, and makes great pizza too.

The thing itself doesn't trouble me, I just can't make the name mean that in my head.

Our wings are not tired.
Yum, vodka sauce, which for unknown reasons I have never made but have happily consumed in restaurants.
Also, I think hippocampus might be a portal demon, just sayin'.

Generally the alcohol in anything seriously cooked burns/evaporates off, and what you're left with is the flavorings. Aside from the emulsifying properties in the vodka sauce, I can't imagine the vodka does much for the flavor of itself.

My favorite part of the article is the last lines about how Fred Trump's only loss was the money he invested in Donald.
Heh.
Unfortunately, I think we are stuck with Trump for five more years. I just hope we don't any sort of crisis in that time. The setbacks to environmental protects, the lack of concern about income inequity, the lack of immigration reform, the damage to international relations, and the courts are bad enough.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Trump's response to the tax thing is entirely predictable.
I have to go meet with a recruiter (poor me) and it is raining buckets. This is the kind of day where one should stay inside in a dim room, relaxing and reading.
