What is it good for? (It's good for business.)

My guests left last night. I am very thankful to them, because they gave me something to focus on aside from watching the news of the past few days. I have friends who I may have alienated due to comments I made in an attempt to let them hear what I heard them saying. I trust I will be forgiven in time.
Things appear to be progressing better than I'd hoped. People are directing their fervor toward reconstruction, and many people are tempering their 'We Must Act Now' demands with 'But Nothing Rash'.
Very few unprovoked attacks on people with the wrong color skin are going on.
Donations of time, money and blood are overwhelming the relief organisations.
We appear to be gathering clues as to who is responsible, and hopefully this time we won't bomb an embassy or a pharmaceutical factory.
My main disappointment so far has been Jerry Falwell and his crony Pat Robertson, who have declared that pagans, liberals and gays are responsible for the terrorist attacks because they have made G*d mad at America.
Of course, this means that God is less mad at whoever orchestrated these attacks.
It also means that, if Osama bin Laden is behind them, that G*d has finally given up on the Christians and thrown in with Allah and Islaam.
Things will suck (rumor has just come through that the Taliban is gearing up for holy war) but people seem, more or less, to be behaving as if they have half a brain. Knock wood.
Let's see if the US fights this evil terrorism by causing terror. Let's hope they don't.

Tell me what you eat; I might cook for you

Cold all day. But now I'm plenty warm. Been running the oven. I'm not going to print up recpes, like other more prominent and well researched blogs (Because I just kind of throw stuff together and don't measure or document any of it) but the teriyaki chicken is very nice and the tequila lemon chicken is interesting but not as yummy. (Still, I'll eat the rest of it...) I made a puffed rice coating which turned out pretty well, mixed with egg and pepper. If I try that again, though, I'll cook it seperately because it should really cook longer than the plain chicken. The mate is off duty for the weekend, but I now have enough leftovers to see me through until she gets back and starts watching Food Network again. (:
Chrisber and Christy have relayed to me another possible job--a chiro in Palo Alto who is looking for a full time receptionist. OfficeTeam has asked if they can call me on Monday about possible positions. So let the sunshine in, and smile away your blues.
