Stupid News ....

Bush just commuted Scooter Libby's sentence.

He still has to pay the fine, and has probation, but no jail time now.

Lots of cheese....

Thanks to everyone for coming over yesterday to eat cheese! And, cheesecake, and other things, and to drink wine and take some away to your own houses...

One guest remarked that it wasn't often that I am obviously happy. And, that's a true statement. But, I like cooking, and giving to friends, and having people enjoying each others company, and kids running around, and.... well, I had lots of good things at once, and that seemed to do the trick.

If you missed out, you really missed an experience! Next time I reach this age, we'll do it again.

Those that went home with jars of Frommage Fort -- it's good for about a week or so, kept in the fridge. Make use of it quickly (let it warm up for crackers, sandwich spread, or melt it on veggies, etc). If you have any left this time next week, mix it with an equal portion of flour, and you have a dough that makes great cheese straws (preheat 350deg, 20 mins). You can even add paprika, dry mustard, or cayenne for flavor (1/2 tsp at most, or 1/4 tsp on average, for about 1/2 lb of dough).

It is at this point I should note that da elfwife didn't even get me a card.... She didn't get me one for our anniversary last year, either! HALMARK HAS FAILED ME! IS elfgirl IMMUNE TO THEIR MIND RAYS?

Ahem. So, anyway.....

Happy marriage, fwod and geekissexy23! Don't forget to buy each other cards!
