    Saltz was the guy who suckered Martha Stewart
    (not the most sympathetic character) into the
    situation that ended her ass in jail.
    Good old snake oil is alive and well and still in production.

    Truth isn't as mutable as some seem to think, but
    critical thinking is always being refined.

    Our interests may differ a bit. I'd never heard
    of footwear by that name.
    I have one too many weird friends who sell stuff for a living.

    Out of a store or out of the back of a truck?

    Welll ... only a mother would be allowed to make
    remarks like that without them being fighting words.
    I've been called a mother a few times, but ... well....
    Well ... .
    Not politely.

    Pro tip: don't chortle gleefully about a good deal
    until you're out of earshot of the seller.

    It worked for Puccini.
    Who not only got rich and famous off the formula
    but attracted all sorts of presumably maochistic
    women to his bedroom.
    Sometimes you gotta wonder.

    One has to strive to make life other than a
    zero-sum game.

    Bashing politics in this echo is not so offtopic
    as to earn a chiding. It does get kind of old,
    though (if a little funny, granted). Bashing
    individual parctitioners of that discipline
    will be moderated.
    One reason I only go after the profession in general. There are
    plenty of folk out there in other venues giving individual members of
    the species a hard time.

    But politicians do it in bulk.

    Eh, twenty bucks' worth of miles for a couple
    hours I'd have spent doing the same thing anyway
    (e-mail or FIDO).
    Getting paid for nothing works for me.
    Why fly point-to-point? There's no points to it.
    Unless you're a pointalist?

    Que Seurat, Seurat?

    Clafoutis aux raisins
    categories: French, dessert
    servings: 4

    400 g black grapes
    150 g flour
    4 eggs
    150 g powdered sugar
    25 cl cream
    50 g butter
    1 pn cinnamon
    1 pn fine salt

    Melt 40 g butter and let cool.

    Oven at 180C/350F.

    Rinse and dry grapes; pick from the stalk.

    Beat the egg yolks and two of the egg whites
    together; mix with the cooled butter and the
    sugar until smooth and uniform. Add the cream,
    flour, cinnamon, and salt.

    Beat the two resserved egg whites to soft
    peaks and fold in.

    Pour batter into a buttered clafouti pan, then
    arrange grapes over. Bake 45 min. Let cool in
    the mold. Serve warm or cool.

    Note: If the mold is too deep, pour only 1 cm of
    batter in the bottom of the mold and then bake
    10 min, then add the rest of the batter and
    arrange the grapes on top as before. Then bake
    the remaining time as before.

    Good old snake oil is alive and well and still in production.

    Truth isn't as mutable as some seem to think, but
    critical thinking is always being refined.

    And always in short supply. I run into live examples daily, and of
    course generate a few of my own here and there.

    of footwear by that name.

    E-commerce, primarily.

    I generally don't. I may cackle when I get into my car with the
    windows shut however.

    They were all volunteers after all.

    I didn't think that sort of talk was really allowed either. Besides,
    I'd heard they do it in committee.

    That was a gas attack of a pun, sir, but I guess it if makes your
    VanGogh....
