Really MSNBC?
I'm not convinced that they need to show a blow by blow repeat of their live 9-11 broadcast from 2001. Really not covninced.

On the subject of troubled waters...
... I present for your consideration, more oil, plus napalm.
I know why they did it. I sorta wish they hadn't.

To lighten things up: Rotisserie Chicken
My brithday present arrived yesterday, which is a Rotisserie attachment for the 'oh my gods how big is that bugger' grill I was given for my birthday last year. So, as the weather has brightened up today, I'm heading to the supermarket shortly to get some stuff to take it for a test drive.
I'm thinking chicken for the test run. I'll probably do a light stuffing and a rub. My thoughts are:
Stuffing - bread crumbs, leek, sage, herbs, salt, pepper and garlic - whizzed in the food processor and, well, 'stuffed'
Rub - paprika, kosher salt, pepper, touch of cumin and chilli, dried garlic
I'll probably leave the chicken prepped for 3-4 hours before cooking. I ought to do longer but I wasn't sure if I could BBQ until the weather perked up.
I've found that BBQ corn is still excellent too, and probably serve the whole thing with a green salad with wasabi dressing...
Dressing
- Olive oil and Soy Sauce in the usually 2:1 vinigrette blend
- Lemon Juice
- Wasabi
- salt and pepper
Whisk, dress.

Restoring some karmic balance...
I have been delivering some short shrift to idiots recently. If you're looking at this you know who you are. Oink.
Anyway, to restore karmic balance I was nice to a salesperson on an unsolicited telesales call today. She had an obvious cold, she was doing a stunningly thankless task I generally wouldn't wish on my worst enemy(*), and she did it reasonably well. So I let her do the speil, asked some appropriate questions and then thanked her and said no.
Hopefully she will not feel too bad about carrying on with more of the calls, that her system is already delivering into her ear.
(*) - I am led to believe that Jordan Bassior is in telesales - in which case Karma is a bitch.
