2. Rick Perry, Governor of Texas, is possibly involved in a cover-up over executing an innocent man. So, yeah. There is nothing I can say to this.
3. However, October is apparently Fair Trade month. Wheeee!
4. On that thought, I have just discovered the Rancho Gordo website, a company devoted to finding and preserving food plants indigenous to the Americas. Their heirloom bean varieties, most of which I've never heard of, look particularly amazing. I can't decide which I want to try most.
5. The Tomato Nation blog is trying to raise $150,000 for Donors Choice by the end of the month. They're up to $69,000 so far. Help them out! You could win prizes.
6. Why is it winter all of the sudden? Having essentially not experienced the cold since early 2008 (which was a fairly mild winter anyway) I have suddenly remembered my great loathing for it.

Date: 2009-10-17 12:46 am (UTC)I'm tentatively planning on being there in mid-November, before the Thanksgiving travel chaos descends but still in plenty of time to treat my poor defenseless friends as an excuse to cook with odd and exotic ingredients.
