One thing I can thank the heat wave for: we have air conditioning now, but it’s only enough to do one room at a time. Thus I’m hanging out in the office at night when I normally…

Many Americans don’t understand that getting the government involved in health care wouldn’t be radical: the government is already deeply involved, even in private insurance.

Dear Hulu: this buffering, buffering thing gets really old.
At least the coffee cake is good. And the raspberry sauce I poured on top thickened into jam. So maybe crockpot jam is next.
My attention span thinks it’s Friday, for some reason.
My back is thrilled that it’s cool enough to work from the couch for a bit. Must get a better office chair, but I don’t know where to shop.

How American cooking became a spectator sport, and what we lost along the way.
Cats are silly. Yesterday they got annoyed when I shut them in the office with me to cool off. Today, they ran in as soon as a/c was set up.
Commencing crockpot coffee cake experiment. (Not only is it ridiculously hot out, but even if I wanted to use it, the oven’s still broken.)
FWIW, I liked being snowed in a lot better. Snowshoeing in the cemetery was fun.
Loving all of the heat wave solar cooking experiments people are trying.
.@joesgrrrl The raspberries ended up syrup, not jam (no pectin or evaporation to thicken). But tasty. :) Using it in the coffee cake.
