A nickel for your thoughts

A few random comments:

1) I've got a breakdown of a lot of the new fall TV shows up on Gig Matrix if you're interested.

2) Does anyone else think the buffalo on the back of the new nickel is a little too anatomically correct? (It's a male buffalo, by the way.) Some things, like Bat suits with nipples, just shouldn't be that true to nature.

3) Lest you worry, the cooking odyssey is still going well. On this week's menu was apricot-sauced pork medallions (with rice and chocolate chip cookies for dessert). It was easy and tasty. Although I still don't really know what it means when it says to make the pork into medallions. But I did get to use a meat tenderizer. And that was fun. More meals should involve beating meat ... er, pounding loins ... I mean ... whacking ... no ... hitting your food with a mallet. Yes, that's it. I think it taps into a guy's inner caveman. It's like clubbing your dinner to death but without having to hunt it down first.

Why do they have to eff with our money so much, anyway? It was just fine for, like, 30 years. Now we've got bison porn and smirking presidents all over our coins.

I'm just sick of it.

Gotta admit, one of my favorite benefits of cooking (besides the *sometimes* benefit of eating good food) is the stress-relief of pounding, chopping, and otherwise mutilating the meat and other ingredients.
