3 things

[alonewiththemoon]

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.)

Yes. If you wait until the top is completely cooked, then the bottom may be already too dry and maybe even burned depending on the stove. The idea is to expose each side to (very low) heat to cook it evenly from the outer sides to the center.
