This made me giggle.

This is almost too cerebral even for me, but I keep looking at it again and again with this odd giggle.

simmering away in a large pan on my stove is a liquid-y concoction of tomatoes, stock, onions, peppers, and lots of paprika and white pepper. The chicken goes in soon as well as sour creme. I think, however, that once the chicken is cooked through, I'm going to let it cool and then store it over night. I like to let the spices marry well before eating. That, and I'm not particularly hungry tonight.

This reminds me, however, that I love Hungarian Goulash and I should dig out a recipe for that soon as well. Besides I know how to make sweet red cabbage without sugar (Splenda is my friend) and the two served together would be a delight.

So chicken paprikash for lunch or dinner tomorrow! Depending on how it comes out, I'll post the recipe.

Virus notice.

A new e-mail worm that spreads under the guise of pornographic content has jumped to the top of the worldwide virus charts.

When run on a Windows PC, the worm copies itself to shared network locations and sends itself to e-mail addresses found on the target computer. The pest includes a timed attack that attempts to disable antivirus and firewall software and delete certain files, including Office documents, on the third day of the month, according to antivirus software vendor F-Secure.

The worm, dubbed W32/Nyxem-E by F-Secure, arrives attached to an e-mail message. It uses a variety of subject lines, including "School girl fantasies gone bad." The body text also varies, but it can include references to the Kama Sutra, the ancient Sanskrit book with pictures and explanations about different sexual positions.

Had 5 of these suckers show up at work today.

I have Just Finished Reading

a history of Student protests at CCNY during the depression at Virtual New York's online archive. Like most good latter-day 20th century children, I thought the free speech movements at Berkeley and Columbia in the 60s to be unique. How wrong I was.
