Today is not a chicken paprikash day

It is so nice out. We've got the ceiling fans (all 5 of them) going, the windows open, and we're airing out the joint for the first time since ~early October. Mmmm. And we're cooking for the Bristol Lodge Soup Kitchen today. We'd bought 10 lb. of chicken last weekend, and we planned to make the delicious Hungarian standby, Chicken Paprikash. It is a wonderful, onion- and paprika-heavy dish ...

Beaders heaven

A cache of 70,000 17th century beads has been unearthed from St. Catherines Island, Georia. They include examples from across the then-known world, including quite a few Venitian beads. The island was part of a major Spanish trade route in the 1600s.

Rich! Rich beyond the dreams of avarice!

Mike just got this note in the mail today, and I thought people would like to see what $10,000,000,000,000 looks like -- in Zimbabwe dollars, that is. Last week, Zimbabwe lopped off 12 zeroes . (They have announced, but not officially issued, $50 and $100 trillion notes.) So the note you see here went down to $10...and is now worth about 30 cents U.S. That's after they lopped off ...

These are just...wrong. Retro...and wrong.

These aren't floppy disks. They are 200 MB CDRs shaped like floppy disks, $10 each. They're supposed to fit right into your CD or DVD drives and work just fine. I find them...disturbing. Via Shiny Shiny.

No move for Mumbles

Boston's City Hall isn't going anywhere soon, notes the Boston Globe online. Boston Mayor Tom Menino has had to shelve plans to build a new water-front city hall building because of the sharp downturn in the economy. City Hall, as I noted here last month, was recently voted the ugliest building in the U.S.
