Amazing books!

Read "A Disorder Peculiar to the Country." Ken Kalfus. Very good. Disturbing.

Watch "Thank You for Smoking" and "Why We Fight" and think how much more interesting "Thank You For Smoking" would have been if it were set in the world of "Why We Fight," which posits that the military industrial complex seeks its own justification for existence through baloney wars.

I had some other ideas but I totally forgot what they are.

Also, I'm looking for a recipe for an appetizer that travels pretty well. I've been bringing the bacon bean bundles (sooooo much better than they sound) to the McMillans' Turkey Celebration for the past few years and they've been popular, but this year I've got an hour or two driving ahead of me and I need a backup.

cinnamon crusted almonds or i bet suzanne's spinach balls would travel well - it doesn't seem to matter if they are hot or cold and they are easy to make.

let me know and i'll email you the recipies ;)
