Stew, and Capers

Back to the cooking grind this week: I just put a batch of "African Groundnut Stew with Chicken" into the cooker. (What's with the Britspeak? "Peanut" not good enough?) It looks pretty good: chicken, tomato, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanut butter, and spices. I've made peanut soup before, and it was very tasty, but this is a different recipe.

Meanwhile, I looked up chicken piccata on-line, and found to my surprise that every recipe called for capers. My conscious experience with capers (on a pizza) was not good, and I've been avoiding recipes with them ever since, but a check of the Marie Callendar box reveals that their version does, indeed, contain capers. I may have to rethink the caper issue.

Medical Daily asks: "Is Math Beautiful?"

I've been saying stuff like that for years.

Sister C, show this to your elder daughter. (Yes, that incident still rankles.)

El Goonish Shive

So, El Goonish Shive. I expect to make several posts about that webcomic over the next few weeks. Mainly, this is because I've tried three times to sign up for the EGS forums, without success, and it seems that this is not at all unusual. Well, if I can't talk about it there, I'll talk about it here. Of course, it'll go under a cut.
