Once again, no food today. However, they will return soon because......
I got my new range!!!!!!! Behold its beauty:
I spent all day Friday cleaning and rearranging the kitchen to prepare for its arrival. (Plus the cleaning and purging needed to be done anyway.) The MAIN reason for this was that with the two ovens, I was losing the lower storage drawer. No worries, a bit of pondering and purging, and I had more room than I needed. Yay!
So you would think that I'd be all over cooking, and ready with something delightful for tonight, right?
Well..... that was the plan. But.....
While hiking with my sister, fellow-but-rarely-seen kossack, kriser, I took a heck of a tumble. We were heading downhill during the last 3/4 mile of the hike, and apparently I turned my ankle on a rock and went down on other rocks. I landed on both knees. I swore at that moment that I'd shattered my patellae. Fortunately, that wasn't the case, but holy hell was that last 3/4 mile of the hike a party of suck. And driving home? I'd have given just about anything (except my right to vote Dem) for an automatic transition.
Yeah, so today I can barely move. I made the mistake of knee walking to my place in bed last night and nearly passed out from the pain. I have two HUGE lumps and my knees are a lovely combination of purple and black.
What the heck does this have to do with cooking, you ask? Well the oven that I was going to use for what I'd planned for today's foodie diary is on the bottom, and I'm sorry, but all the standing and the bending....I'm just not up to it. But whoo, boy, look out next week! (Assuming I don't have a jury duty story to tell......)
Without further ado, here's brillig with what you've really been waiting for - tonight's Tops of all kinds! Thanks, brillig!
covet covet covet covet... ahem...
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.
From Giles Goat Boy:
Regarding the flood of good news coming out of Wisconsin this past week, elwior cracked me up with this.
From Ed Tracey:
In the diary by travelingpm about the HBO movie version of Game Change - with plaudits for the performances from Julianne Moore and Woody Harrelson from viewers but not from Professor Barbara O'Connor - tortmaster chides the professor for not recognizing the makeup detail paid to the male candidates, saying that he believes that Mitt Romney has several consultants just for the sideburn matrix - i.e., "extent and hue of the gray".
From gizmo59:
in MinistryofTruth's recommended diary, At this point, being a conservative isn't a political philosophy, it's a personality disorder, BoiseBlue starts an entertaining thread.
From gchaucer2:
In response to Santorum's smarmy comments about teleprompters used by you know who in Hunter's diary, gravlax found the perfect pictorial response.
From brillig:
Apparently Republicans in AL and MS think silly stuff. TurboDuck3000 makes a pot, kettle analogy and oxfdblue shares student responses to the poll results.
slinkerwink used an acronym. Read the thread to see the wonderful possibilities of what it means :-).
