One, I watched the Colbert Report last night, and Caitlin Flanagan is terrifying. It's not just that her views of how women ought to act are skewed; it's that her views of how human beings ought to act are, well, not that human. Or possibly the woman really does just see "nookie" as a means to an end, something you give your husband to maintain his economic support of you, I don't know. Sad.
Two, you can hear a song from the new Matmos album over at Salon's Audiofile column, titled "The Rose Has Teeth in the Mouth of a Beast." It's created from samples of roses, teeth, cows, manure and geese and the occasional bjork. I like it.
Three, when you make a tortilla, the Spanish omelet kind, should it still be runny on top when you flip it? My cookbooks were not forthcoming on the details, and since I was worried about the bottom overcooking I did flip it while still runny on top which was not quite as messy as I thought it would be but still seemed like something of a waste of egg. It ended up tasty, so I suppose it doesn't really matter, but I am curious. (It contained thinnly sliced potatoes, broccolini, chopped tomatoes, manchego cheese and some tarragon and thyme.)
