Sorry, folks, but it’s a war zone out there right now when it comes to popular entertainment and I want to be throwing spoons at stupid people’s heads. At this rate, I may need to switch over to doing nothing but creative work all day. Or, heck, start cooking-blogging. People like recipes*.

*My wife managed to throw together a rather good beef-with-gravy mix over egg noodles this evening. I had some chopped-up pot roast and onions ready for quesadillas, but she wasn’t up for all the cheese; so she made a roux, added a bunch of beef broth, stirred in half a packet of onion soup mix, and then dumped in the beef. By the time everything was hot the noodles were ready. Hot, reasonably fast, and tasty on a wet autumn day. We’ll have to remember this one later.
It’s been a warzone for decades.
The difference is that we’re actually fighting back effectively. (To the utter horror of several self-proclaimed conservative pundits who I used to respect.)

You totally lost me at onion soup mix. My mother was not what you’d call a good cook, and that stuff haunted my childhood.
Really? Interesting. Both my and my wife’s family used it exclusively to savory and salt up a sauce. I don’t consider it high cuisine, but I like it for unsubtle meals. But tastebuds differ, of course.
Can’t use most onion soup mixes .. MSG sends Mrs. Cat’s heart into palpatations. Not the dangerous-call-911 kind, but *very* uncomfortable for her.

There are days, Mr. Lane, when I envy your reduced allergy existence.

My current joke is that the difference between Hollywood and the adult film industry is that in the latter, the sex is in front of the camera.
Oh cool, someone is mass-producing these things now:

It’s a gun that fires a shotgun-style spray of salt that you use to kill bugs. Flies don’t see it coming and even if they do they still get caught in the spray and killed.
