UPDATEAfter 24 hours during which none of my posts showed, things seem to be back to normal here.
But not to worry - first there's my article on Chavez's threat to cut off oil to the EU, which you can read at
Newsvine. Then there's
yesterday's podcast, where Monica Showalter reminded us that Hugo's threat seems to match Putin's similar threat, too.
Later today I'll have another article at
NJ Voices.
On a personal note, I'm looking for a good recipe for Yorkshire pudding; if any of you would like to contribute, please add it in the comments section.
But enought about me (at least for now), let's do a quick roundup:
They say a picture's worth a thousand words, and Brian Faughnan's
speaks volumes.
No Mas, Senator, says Cassandra, who's got the race card.
Obama says Republicans will use race to stoke fear. It's the
Republicans who can't keep themselves from calling attention to anyone's race, I tell you!

Yorkshire Pudding
Drippings from roast beef
Vegetable oil, if necessary
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
Measure pan drippings, adding enough oil to drippings, if necessary, to measure 1/4 cup. Place hot drippings in 9-inch square pan; place pan in oven and heat until hot. Increase oven temperature to 450°F. In medium bowl, beat flour, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the eggs with wire whisk just until smooth. Pour batter into pan of drippings and oil. Bake 18 to 23 minutes or puffy and golden brown (pudding will puff during baking but will deflate shortly after being removed from oven). Cut pudding into squares; serve immediately with beef.
From Betty Crocker, believe it or not. But really, really good! :)
Glad to see your blog is working again.
"Vero possumus" = "I see the possums's ass". Which played backwards yields "Vote for me and YOUR ass is grass."
At least in Sinclair Lewis's It Can't Happen Here President, Buzz Windrip, changed the Great Seal because it didn't fit the needs of the modern age. But at least Sen. Obama's version is suitable safe and squishy. Looking more like a detergent logo then the symbol of a great nation.
From the venerable old LA restaurant, The Tam O'Shanter:
Yorkshire Pudding
2 cups flour
1 cup milk
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
Sift together 2 cups flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Make a well and add 4 beaten eggs. Blend; add 1 cup milk and beat continuously for 10 minutes. Let stand 1 hour. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place 12-hole muffin pan in oven to heat. When hot, grease pan (butter, margarine, non-stick spray, etc.). Pour equal amounts of batter into muffin tins, and bake for 40 minutes.
Serve with Toad in The Hole.
