That chiles rellenos casserole thing I made last year? I made it again. I got lots of poblano peppers at the farmer's market and grilled 'em over hardwood and then made this, with black beans, and lots of mexican cheeses, and tomato sauce. I also had more eggplants from my plants and grilled those and made melizanosalata and baba ganoush (one has tahini, one doesn't). I love food that tastes like a camp fire.

Hobbies.

Hobbies. P.S. Should you feel such endeavours require a screw loose, well, spoiler, he literally had a screw loose.

You know how people sometimes insist on telling you something, because they just have to?

You know how people sometimes insist on telling you something, because they just have to? Something you're not interested in, has no impact on you, and you just don't care about? Sometimes, it's something somebody else told them, that they have made no effort to verify, whatsoever, and gee, what could possibly be the reason for the person to have told them anyway? And now they are all worked up, and we should all feel righteous indignation, and you are trying to walk away from them and they keep following you? So you quietly try to offer some reasonable, rational points for their consideration, if only to dial down the agitation they are broadcasting. Like, the kind that would upset any animals in the vicinity, it's being broadcast so strongly. But they aren't really interested, because Righteous Indignation! And they finally stop and you run away and try to disperse the agitation they've been projecting at you by talking about it on g+? Their behavior is sympto...

Watched second episode of The Muppets, because hope and don't judge on scant data, etc.

Watched second episode of The Muppets, because hope and don't judge on scant data, etc. In a nutshell, this will never be for me because a) Kermit is too mean, and b) The insensitivity, it burns, and is the antithesis of "muppet". Other observations: 1. It will find an audience, at least for a while. The same people who would watch The Office or similar, as per some of your comments.  2. It apes the form but lacks the substance. It's probably good for the people doing the show that even if vengeful spirits were a thing, Jim Henson isn't the type. 3. Yet another moment that I would have not even noticed, never mind remarked, never mind found inappropriate prior to exposure to the wider world. The set-up is using sushi as a metaphor for something being good or bad, where (I think I have this right) gas station sushi is bad, and convenience store sushi is good. You can count the comedy beats, 1, 2, 3. The first two comments are made by band members, muppets that have...
