Jeanne took back the Roomba and bought the Roomba Discovery. It works much better than the previous one. Yes it does have an issue with rug edges. But it is cool to turn it on and leave the room, and then come back when the room is clean (or when it pleadingly beeps to ask you to free it from the rug's edge.) Somebody please hack it to talk like R2D2. The Cat is less afraid.

Check out the recipe if you need one; it works quite well. Jeanne found it and also provided the key advice on leaving a meat thermometer in while it cooked.
We also made tea - DNA style. (And check out the cute 90s flash howto if you get a chance.) So roast, salad, cheese, pate, artichoke pasta and ice cream from coldstone creamery - the mongolian bbq of ice cream places (the perjorative tone is - I assure you - intentional. All in all, yumm.
And this the day after I had the best tofu of my life, at a soba restaurant at Houston & Mercer in SoHo. The soybean concoction was only nominally a solid, and dare I mention the chestnut ice cream that came later? mmmmmm.
I've been thinking up phrases lately. I keep forgetting them before I can commit them sadly. My muse seems to be with me between waking and about an hour and a half later, when I get off of the train in Manhattan.
I have so taken a liking to "constituency rot"...
