“Evidence against Iraq unmistakable,” says Blair, cheerfully lifting a full legal metric 16-ounce pint in celebration.
“Verily,” he continued, now hitting his full oratorical stride, “it is broad, clear, obvious, patent, plain, unsubtle, yes! - and even clearly defined; not ambiguous: distinct, sharp, unambiguous, unequivocal!”
Confused Harrods shoppers recoil in horror at verbal broadside; compare it to Greek Fire!

Yesterday was hell on food bloggers. Julie broke down in tears being assaulted by evil ladyfingers, a cloister of unwashed dishes, an AWOL essential ingredient, and finally, an et tu brute food mill. The dishes got to Leah too. I know the feeling of claustrophobia that takes over when dishes begin to roost on every square inch of available counter space, like Hitchcock's birds on the jungle gym.
That didn't happen to me yesterday, but I did make the worst chili in history. It was supposed to be an experiment, to see if chili could be made using dry beans, in the pressure cooker. One part of of the experiment was a success - you can make something resembling chili in a pressure cooker. Just don't eat it. Heavy, a hint of burned starch, and tomatoes that came out browner than the meat - which tasted like you might imagine three-toed sloth meat would, when cooked over a creosote campfire.
I checked to see what Deb at Murray Hill 5 made, to see if we had a day when you just shouldn't try to cook. Far as I can tell, she didn't cook anything. Smart.
Until I'm sure this ain't like the movie Groundhog Day, however, where we have to repeat our failures until we get them right, I'm walking on egg shells. How'd they get there? There's bits of celery and onion on the floor too. A big mess and nothing to show for it.

More tricks with UserLand "comments": Put the cursor in the Comment: box. Hold the left Alt key and type 1, 6, and 7 on the numeric keypad. Normally this will produce a degree symbol in a text field (you're entering the ASCII 167 directly). But here it returns you to the IE4.0 home webpage. Probably can't handle ASCII 128 and above.

Q: How long will it be before the Columbia tragedy is exploited to promote the war in Iraq?
A: For Bill Safire, two days. Priority, opening paragraph:
Even before seven brave astronauts aboard Columbia perished in what President Bush called "the service to all humanity" in reaching for the stars, leaders of nine nations of Europe made plain their appreciation of what America stood for in the service of freedom here on Earth.

...more on The Art Of Eating. The publication is "the Art of Eating", quarterly by Edward Behr. He also has a website called the Art of Eating. The Art of Eating, the book, is most certainly M.F.K. Fisher. No one has a website or quarterly publication named How to Cook a Wolf.
Silly UserLand Tricks: Click on "comments" on any blog entry where there are several, say [6], posted. If there is a comment with a link to another UserLand blog, click on it. The window for comments should stay open, but will be behind weblog #2. Now add a comment at weblog #2. The window for comments at weblog #2 will replace the one at weblog #1. Expected behavior: Both comments windows should remain open.
