Oooooh, Sfingi...they are gonna get you for that. Is it just me, or has it gotten to the point where ordering the red snapper can get you accused of right wing extremism? Ironically, no one considers it extremism to usurp the banking, insurance, auto, and now the healthcare industries from private enterprise. Anyway, back to the cash for clunkers: I think it seems to fit the administration's business model: use public money to buy 100 dollar clunkers for 4500 each, then try to recoup the loss by throwing them away. Dont wanna risk anything less than a total loss. I think the new slogan should be "Save More at The Tank...Pay More to the IRS".

Anyway, I made some manicotti last weekend, and although I was quite pleased with my performance, I decided next time I will be departing from convention. As I mixed the ricotta and mozzarella for the filling, I thought about making my favorite calzones...they always have an extra element to the cheese. I like throwing in fried peppers or crushed meatballs or sausage or onions and ham. So how come no one ever stuffs manicotti this way? I not only believe it can be done, I believe it should be done. O' Sullivan believed in manifest destiny....well I believe in Manicott' Destiny.

So last nite Jennie is jonesing for a pizza. So we place our order: one half: sausage, onions and mushroom and the other half: onions, pineapple and jalapenos.
So clearly she has broken a holy commandment: though shalt not ever put fruit on pizza. What is the proper punishment for such a violation and how do we expunge such a deplorable habit?

By the way, Vin went to the mall yesterday. He disappeared and then reemerged with Shrek and Superman Returns on DVD. There is just no predicting that man.
