I love scientists!

I'm not normally that into baseball, or sports at all for that matter, but I like Gladwell's thoughts on putting forensic economics to play prior to athletes being put in the record books. Makes things more fair, I think.

The Lost Gospel of Judas - National Geographic

Is this more evidence on the side of "Dumbledore asked Snape to kill him" theory?

Thanks to Nancy Warren for sending the link to me.

Also, Elaine Pagels has an Op-Ed in the New York Times about this.
The Gospel Truth

Bx said, "I hear impeachment calling ..."

And Cara replied:

Moron and Psycho
and all their little minions
Impeach the bastards

More Haikus

Cara's at it again....

Spring eh?

Little puffed clouds now,
April blue sky. This morning
snow came down, fast, hard.

But it didn't stick
Like Earth enjoyed a Snow Cone -
All gone, now it's Spring.

101 Cookbooks

I just discovered this site. How could this be the first time I've seen this? It's incredible! This woman is doing what we should all do -- actualy use our silly cookbooks. I don't have 100 of the silly things, but I have half a bookcase full.

101 Cookbooks

Here are my other favorite cooking sites:

Cooking

• Allrecipes.com - Here you can find recipes for just about everything. You can also share your recipes with others.
• Breadrecipe.com - Exactly what it sounds like.... Includes a section for break machines.
• Cooking Light's Main Menu - Cooking Light is a really good magazine devoted to low-fat cooking and healthful living. I've always liked there very balanced look at life. They have dessert recipes in their magazine, with the understanding that it's probably better if you don't eat cake every day. The site has a recipe finder, a Tip of the Day, and articles that augment the magazine.
• Cook's Thesaurus - "The Cook's Thesaurus suggests substitutions for thousands of cooking ingredients, including low-calorie and low-fat alternatives for dieters, inexpensive substitutes for gourmets on a budget, and innovative replacements for hard-to-find ethnic ingredients."
• Culinary Café - lots and lots of cooking information -- recipes, a spice encyclopedia, things you should have in your kitchen, hints & tips, etc.
• Epicurious - Subtitled "For People Who Eat." Here you'll find links called Eating; Drinking; Playing with Your Food; Epicurious TV; Bon Appétit; and Gourmet. You can search for recipes based on a huge number of criteria, including ingredients, course, cuisine, etc. You can also get etiquette information, learn various cooking skills by watching videos, and get "Tips from Great Cooks." A wonderful web site for anyone who cooks.
• Food Network - I love this channel. My favorite shows are Good Eats with Alton Brown, 30 Minute Meals, and Cooking Thin. But I will watch just about anything on there, except Mario Eats Italy, which just stinks.
• Good Cooking - Includes Cooking, Culinary & Professional Links; Recipes/Techniques/Guides; Reviews & Articles; Travel Links & Restaurant Reviews; Wine and Beverage Links; and World Guide to Good Cooking.
• Tavolo - "... where the kitchen is the center of the universe. We have everything you need to fuel your passion for cooking, eating and entertaining." You can shop here as well as find recipes and menus and get cooking tips.
• Top Secret Recipes on the Web - "Creating Kitchen Clones of America's Favorite Brand-Name Foods"
• MPR's The Splendid Table - This is the site for the Minnesota Public Radio program. I love this program. It airs on Sundays at 2:00 on WNED AM 970 in the Buffalo area. The site has recommendations from guests, recipes that Lynne talks about on the show, shopping, etc. There used to be a page with tales from listeners about their worst restaurant experiences. I loved that page, but couldn't find it when I just looked again. If anyone finds it, please e-mail me.

Wine

I'm trying to improve my wine awareness. But, you know, that $5.99 a liter Almadden Mountain Rhine just hits the spot sometimes. ;)

• Tom Cannavan's Wine Pages - This site is from the UK, so the "cheapies" section doesn't really apply here, but there's some good information here.
• Wine Lovers' Page - This has a great link -- Getting Started -- for those of us without a clue.
