1. After viewing last night's Project Runway, I want to say that this season the judges have never once sent home who I thought they should. EVERYONE I LIKE IS LEAVING.

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.

There's also this (http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/10/15/willingham.juror/index.html), about one juror's conflict of interest.

Hey, if you do order some beans, may I put in a request for a pound of those crimson lima beans they say taste like chestnuts? It seems silly to order my own when they charge a single flat shipping fee, and when I'm likely to cook them in New York anyway!

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.

Oh, I hadn't seen that. That's a really interesting article, thanks.

Sure! That gives me even more of an excuse to go ahead and order some for myself.

Yay! I'll be here! And perfectly willing to volunteer to eat anything you need.

I have no idea wtf is going on with the judging of Project Runway this season.

It's super wonky.
