Color Test. I got a 55.  0 is perfect.  Higher numbers are bad.  I'm curious how people do on this test.  I thought I would do much better.  I'm especially curious for jillbertini   to do it.

I made the besty mcbest carrot soup last night, from a recipe posted by jillbertini . One housemate expressed displeasure with the coconut milk factor, saying that the fat concerned her, and I can definitely understand that. Next time I could do it with light coconut milk. Everyone else thought it was freaking delicious and snaffed it down. I served it with a rosemary bread (day old, bundled...

The other day I was having a conversation with some people about their grandparents and parents and education levels and occupations.  I was interested in this conversation as many of the people I was talking to were second generation Americans.  Where do you come from? I had two grandparents who immigrated; one was 2, the other was 18 or 20.  My paternal grandmother's father was a jeweler.  I have...

Via jillbertini , from Nicola Griffith's website: The Office of the Governor of California has set up a hotline public opinion vote on the recent state Supreme Court decision regarding same-sex marriage. It's a fully automated system and it's not, repeat not, limited to California residents. The number works. It's not a scam. I've just called it myself. If ever you've thought, huh, wish...
