Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
It is so damned muggy here I am seriously considering wearing a mumu. I’ll just tell everyone I’m Scottish and it is a kilt. My melodramatic pansies have all fainted and can’t be revived, and Lily is too hot to go for long walks.
*** Update ***
Not too hot for tacos, dirty rice, salad, daquiris and mojitos:
You, too, can have a Feed apron, if you click on the Balloon Juice store to the right. All proceeds go to animal rescue.
Sorry, I got busy Thursday evening and blanked out. My apologies, Bad Horse’s Filly!:
I don’t know about you, but my plan for the weekend is to be outdoors as much as possible and to cook as little as possible. With that in mind, tonight’s menu can be made ahead of time and served at the end of a busy day. The salad is sort of a Greek take on a macaroni salad and the apples add a nice flavor to a favorite cookie. What are your plans for the weekend? Anything adventurous?

On the board tonight:

1. Tangy Pasta Salad

2. Artisan Bread

3. Oatmeal-Apple Cookies
As ever, recipes and shopping list at the link.

I’m busy, so you are on your own.
BTW- One of the weird things about running a blog is how you see names come and go. Whatever happened to Max, and J. Michael Neal, and a Mom Anon, and others? Just weird when people are around for a while, then drop off the radar.
Orangutans rule OOK!*

Late Night Open Thread: Why Can’t We All Get Along?Post + Comments (78)
Some of you have been talking about problems with the comments scrolling across the page. According to my tech gurus, there is some sort of javascript issue with IE8. My first instinct is this serves you right for using IE8, but we are working on a fix anyway.
Stay tuned (and patient).
Not sure why, but I had a craving for grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. So grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup it is.
The guy behind BPGlobalPr has an interesting explanation of what he’s doing:
Why has this caught on? I think it’s because people can smell the bullshit and sometimes laughing at it feels better than getting angry or depressed over it. At the very least, it’s a welcome break from that routine. The reason @BPGlobalPR continues to grow is because BP continues to spew their bullshit.
