Calling all cooks -

Get your mac n cheese chops out, Tillamook is having a contest!

You wanna enter. You know you do. I have a ton of really GOOD mac n cheese recipes in my memories from waaay back - it's ubiquitous. Everyone has a good one tucked away somewhere.

*taps chin* Something with chicken and apple sausage, maybe curried. Hmmm.

...

catsonmars pointed this little bit of information about John McCain at me this morning. Go take a look -

As the widow of a Type I diabetic who would not leave her husband and "get on with her life," I find this appalling. And not a good indicator whatsoever. Two cents.

...

I got the pictures back from the high school reunion - and while they are good pictures, I'm not entirely happy with how I look. I should have put on more makeup, and laid a good moisturizer underneath - it shows that badly when I skip steps in my toilette these days. Not. Happy. Maybe I should start spending a ton of money on my face like Sis does. Or just stop looking in the mirror or at pictures. I do not feel as old as my pictures are looking - and it's not getting better. Developing a sense of vanity at this point just pisses me off as well. Crap.

...

Earworm department: The "Thunderbirds March" and the 5-4-3-2-1 countdown from the top of the show, were adopted by the British band Level 42 for its live shows, as captured in the video release of its 1987 performance at Wembley Stadium in London. An updated version, blended with the opening fanfare to the band's own hit "Heaven In My Hands," kicks off L42's concert gigs to this day. Similarly, the 5-4-3-2-1 countdown has been used by the Beastie Boys for its subsequent live shows; one instance of this is the Live Earth concert in London in 2007.

I WANT. NERD ALERT.

Okay, here's one for the positive column -

While leaving a Torrance bank with an envelope stuffed with several thousand dollars cash in hand, the 70-year-old stumbled, sending 200 or so bills into a strong wind and all over a Sepulveda Boulevard parking lot, he said.

"It was gone in no time," Geier said. "I had flip-flops on and couldn't run that fast."

But almost immediately, about a dozen bystanders rushed to the Rancho Palos Verdes resident - not to pocket the wafting cash, but instead to help Geier retrieve it.

"People ran around and helped collect the money," he said. "They were very good. Kids and blacks and whites - you name it."

With their help, the machine shop owner managed to salvage about 96 percent of the money, he said.

Now, you know why the fella had that much cash on him, right?

But - what an opportunity to find out what the people he lives next to every day are REALLY like, neh?
