A guy in my Org. Theory class was just elected MLA for Concordia, and I can't help but feel a failure. Oh well. Maybe it would be neat to work for an MLA or MPA next year.
Here. Watch this.

"Gloria" - Them. |

I am now the proud owner of a bright orange, 3.5-quart, oval Le Creuset dutch oven. It seems my mom has had it since 1976 and has used it no more than thrice. Thanks, mama!
...Now I just need some recipes that call for a dutch oven instead of a giant soup pot. Oh well. If all else fails, I can use it
a.) in place of free weights, 'cause that thing is heavy or
b.) to brain my enemies.
I like it almost as much as the adorable skull-lady bag that ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) matchstik brought me from Mexicola. I keep my towel and flip-flops in it for when I go to aquasize! Thanks, lady. &hearts

I am going to apply for the graduate school in public policy at UMass in Boston. I probably won't get in, but damn, it would be so cool if I did.

Where should I go to buy myself a really good soup pot that I can use for many years of soup-and-stew bliss?
I'm totally coveting a yellow Le Creuset, but don't know that spending $350 is appropriate.

I know it's such a simple recipe, but I dig me some pasta. And pasta sauce!
*2.5 cups diced tomatos (plus their liquid.) You can use fresh or canned.
*1 cup salt-free tinned tomato sauce/tomato puree. (Mama is concerned about her sodium intake. So I used this.)
*0.5 cup tomato paste.
*Some (minced) garlic cloves. I love garlic, so I used 4 cloves.
*1 medium onion, chopped.
*Herbs and spices: I recommend oregano, basil, salt&pepper and red pepper flakes.
*1-2 TBS olive oil.
*1lb extra-lean, ground turkey (optional)
*Any other veggies you like.
01. Throw your oil into large, shallow saucepan. Let heat on low for a few minutes.
02. Sautee your onions, garlic and meat on med until meat is cooked through.
03. Add all manner of tomatoes and spices. Stir and cook on med heat for a few minutes.
04. Add your other veggies. I used green pepper and celery. Om nom nom!
05. Cover and let simmer on low heat for 45 minutes or so.
06. Eat on your very favourite whole wheat pasta.
I served steamed broccoli as a side dish. Yay!

Hitler has only got one ball!
And Goering, his are very small.
Himmler, his balls are similar,
and Goebbels has no balls at all!

The Duggar family does not believe that female children should attend post-secondary education.
And they get their own tv show? If I went around burning crosses would I get at least a day-time talk show?
