See.... a second career!!; 1/15/10, 11:48 AM

Chip Ahoy said...: Zebrafish would be well camouflaged in that patch of water, from the surface at least. So would certain Angelfish.

Would you like to see a few pictures of ordinary bread I made yesterday?; 1/15/10, 1:01 PM

Lynne said...: Have you tried making Portuguese Sweet Bread, Chip? It's flavored with lemon extract and butter and there's just nothing like it when eaten warm, with a little butter and peach jam.

Yummm.; 1/15/10, 1:25 PM

Can you imagine giving a couple of six year olds (or somebody recovering from the office Christmas party) this to solve?

Are you trying to kill me??? I'm cutting the carbs until I lose my holiday weight.; 1/15/10, 1:41 PM
vbspurs said...: Edutcher wants me to repost this very important message from Microsoft, which might've gotten lost in last night's Cafe post.

OT:

Had to post this, because it's an urgent message from Microsoft. Bottom line is, DO NOT use IE for the foreseeable future. It's got a super-exploitable script hole for which there is no solution so far, on all versions.

Try Firefox, guys. Really, it's the best.

Cheers,
Victoria; 1/15/10, 1:46 PM

Paul, it just struck me what you meant.; 1/15/10, 1:48 PM

I just read this review from my local food critic and thought, hmm, I need to share this with Victoria. But it's such a good description of New Orleans cultures, that I'll mention it here.

Our local food critic went to Cuba and couldn't find any good Cuban food. He said he spent two weeks in Siberia once, during the Cold War, and agrees with Anthony Bourdain that "Communism is bad for food."

And the resulting immigration to the U.S. is good, very, very good, for us.

Cubano sandwiches abound in NOLA; one guy makes his on Vietnamese french bread (banh mi) he gets from Duong Phong bakery, a linchpin of the Vietnamese/New Orlean East recovery post-Katrina.

What a great country.; 1/15/10, 1:52 PM

I would, but my broker/dealer insists on having all of our software for trading and resources on a Microsoft IE platform. Really annonying.; 1/15/10, 2:57 PM
Unknown said...: Thanks, vb. You probably saved a lot of people lots of time, trouble, and money.; 1/15/10, 3:09 PM

This doesn't compute. Try an evaluation copy of Firefox. I expect your broker will not be able to notice - HTML is HTML and the method of accessing it is black-box. If he or she persists, hose him off. I've just been casting into outer darkness some offensive mutual fund companies that were in kid accounts and a trust I administer, as a result of the triennial rebalance. It's a good feeling, being part of a capitalist feedback loop. They know how bad their performance has been. They need to know where the efficient frontier of mass redemptions lies; between the first printing of the annual report, and the next 10Q, falls The Shadow.; 1/15/10, 9:59 PM
