  1. I thought about reducing the 3/4 c of sugar in Bittman’s recipe after reading that NYT sugar article…

    and then I realized I was standing there eating an entire chocolate bar while I thought about it. Needless to say, I added the rest of the sugar.

  2. Those flip glasses are beautiful, dave. Hope you get them.

    I just found out one of my spoons in the fiddleback (?) pattern is actually very old coin silver. I don’t know that much about coin silver.

  3. This is very interesting.

    I was reading a Modern Library copy of Machiavelli that I picked up in a yard sale a couple of weeks ago. I was in my car waiting for littlelegion to get out of his dojo and I had some time to spare. I hadn’t read The Prince in ages.

    What struck me most about the book was the similarity to President Obama’s rise to power. In particular, a section of the book where Machiavelli describes how a certain Duke obtained his realm from humble beginnings by combining forces from outside (France) and causing a “crisis” of some sort among the population.

    I decided to check the internet for any references to Machiavelli and Obama. Sure enough, The American Thinker has an article on what I mentioned.
