In "Curious George:"

I don't spend as much time online as I did during the recent evil times, but winter's comin'; I'll be back when the snow falls, and the soup pot needs stirrin'.

In "Pee+Vegetable Oil"

Peace accords?

In "Man destroys Stradivarius"

Wood grows utterly unique to a certain place and time. I wonder if this is why these venerable instruments can't be reproduced.

In "What happens when you get blasted by a .28 gauge shotgun?"

This doesn't reassure me much...Mr. Congora certainly seems to be aiming right at the target in order to reproduce the described wounds. WTF?

In "A Nice Picture?"

Does this illuminate?

In "Soup!"

Because there was a little nip in the air this morning: Roast 4 heads of garlic, drizzled with just a little olive oil, in a hot oven for 20 min or so. Meanwhile, scald 3 C. whole milk in the microwave, and add a mushroom bullion cube to dissolve. In a large (2-3 qt.) saucepan, make a roux of 1/4 C each of butter and flour, heat until just golden. Squeeze the garlic into the roux, add the scalded milk and heat s-l-o-w-l-y until very thick, then add a C. of heavy cream. Garnish with something hearty.

Don't assume that Camp Casey won't go on in Cindy's (hopefully temporary) absence.

In "Curious George: I'm hungry, dammit."

Chicago? Gyros. Lovely, crumbly lamb spam, onions, cukes, tomatos...
