Stuff

scarcrest has some interesting links this morning (he often does, but I'm actually not so busy this morning to take time and forward them on to you good people).

-The Justice Department is omitting emergency contraception for rape victims. What's next? If they capture the rapist, will they make him marry the victim to keep her an "honest woman"?

-I can't believe this guy is for real. Check out www.godhatesamerica.com and www.godhatesfags.com, too. And then, oddly enough, www.fredthemovie.com. Even the religious right hates this guy.

I woke up this morning, did some cleaning and laundry, and reading. I trundled over to Trader Joe's to get some fixin's for this weekend. I went to TJ's yesterday to get goods for the crab cakes I shall be making for tonight's party. So much for planning ahead. Tomorrow I will make ricotta gnocchi for my mother, who is coming over for the day. She shall spend the night, as well, so I have acquired new, improved, and warmer bedding for her in which to slumber.


More precisely, I will be making broiled crab cakes with a chive and caper sauce. That capers are involved automagically kicks up the gourmet factor. (tee hee)

So far, I have made the sauce for the cakes. I shall mix the crab cake mixture shortly, and allow it to chill, then bring the whole lot over to my friends' house so that we can do the dirty deed of broiling on site.

I'm listening to some my christmas music collection, which includes the Trans-Siberian Orchestra goodies that dslartoo sent to me. Only one week more before my home theatre system is installed, and I can hear this goodness on a grown up stereo. :-) I've had stereo systems in the past, but this is the first time I have purchased an a/v receiver into which all my a/v peripherals will feed into.

Good fun.

Oh...and..

If all of you are starting to head out to your festivities, or whatever you end up doing tonight...

Have a very splendid New Year!
