"What a Wonderful World"

"Your eye is a collection of cells that evolved to borrow the radiation from a fiery ball of superheated hydrogen and helium in order to gather information about objects outside your physical reach. Vision is a kind of divination shaped and fueled by a cosmic inferno." - The CryptoNaturalist

Gee, Ya Think?

Amazon does it again.

My last order included volume 12 of the "Fables" series by Bill Willingham. Amazon just sent me a note telling me that people who bought that book also bought volumes 13 and 15-21.

(I wonder what's different about volume 14? :checks: Oh. That's "Witches", which was nominated for a Hugo a few years back, and which, as a result, I sort of have already. Maybe a lot of people got the e-version as a freebie, and therefore didn't buy it?)

Stoo

This week's dinners are from a recipe labeled "Creamy Herbed Chicken Stew". It's not as, mm, robustly flavored as last week's chili, but there's a place in the world for the subtle and delicate. The first helping, on Monday, seemed bland, but the Law of Casseroles has ensured that the subsequent meals have been very tasty.

Unfortunately, Terry Pratchett's "Moving Pictures" has forever embedded the vision of Borgle replying to his customers' questions with the words "it's *stoo*" in my mind.

I don't care. It tastes good, and that's what matters.
