Lazy and Delcious-Just Wanted to Share

Cut broccoli in spears, spread on baking sheet, pour olive oil to coat the broccoli and add minced garlic (fresh or I use the kind that you can buy in a jar at Costco).
Put in 400 degree oven. Check in 15-20 min. And done. (Also, add fresh parmesan, if desired).

I'm not a foodie. Never have been, never will be. But I did spend summers with my Grandmother who was. Italian style. Turns out, I can cook.

So this dish is so simple and DELICIOUS.

You can also use the same "recipe" with red potatoes.

I'm A Little Bit Bored Today

Took it about a week ago. And I've held the expression since. Every question gets this, "the response."
"How are you?" the response
"How's unpacking?" the response
"Did you run today?" the response
"Hey, is your hairline receding?" the response

I swear, someday soon I'm gonna change my expression. I was super tempted to do so yesterday when I was saw and heard what Tom Tancredo said.

This is my "wanna piece of this?" face. Which I almost pulled when he said what he did.
But instead, I decided to experiment. How would "the response" work in a situation that had roots in gender and race bias? What if a question or statement was offensive, inflammatory, and false?

Let's see:

"Sonia Sotomayor is a member of LaRaza, a Latino KKK without the hoods or the nooses."
- Tom Tancredo

Now watch "the response" in action:
I think, though not the initial intent, "the respone" has some great potential in looking condescending to people who say stupid things! It still has a hint of sadness, though. Which I'll work on. Or not.

Either way, I feel like I've hit a little bit of a jackpot with this one. I may keep it.

Jenky Scanner So No Old Photos, BUT . . .

OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOOOOOOOSHHHHHH!!!

Is Justice Sotomayor not THE MOST FABULOUS SUPREME COURT NOMINEE!!!

The President knows how to put sexy in the smart, man! Is he just modeling his choice after his wife or what?

I kid.

But I love this lady!

And although I've been furrowing my waxed brows at President Obama's recent decisions about Guantanamo and especially his handling of those who ordered the torture of its prisoners, I'm almost willing to overlook that because he chose a star!

Ok, I'm actually not willing to overlook the war crimes he's becoming complicit in, but I am thrilled with this pick.

And in the same vein of happiness shared by thousands about Sonia Sotomayor, I feel like sharing some random things that I love.

1. I heart Amy Goodman
2. And being a liberal
3. And being a Christian
4. And renewing old friendships
5. And frizzy hair worn with fat hoop earings
6. And the scriptures
7. And my long suffering husband
8. And my growing acceptance of my limitations
9. And the Scripps Spelling Bee
10. And kittehs. Especially this one today:

oh, and this one:
and last one (me in D.C):Ok, for realz, this is last one, I promise!
Hope you are finding happiness too. Joy is good.
