In case you hadn't noticed, that semi-hiatus has gone on a little longer than I intended. My current project was extended until next week, the week after that I'm going to Mexico for vacation. Expect regular blogging to resume the beginning of April.
Tonya Harding and Amy Fischer are going to fight a boxing match on Fox.
An interview with Dr. Marion Nestle:
Q. In the mid-1980's, you worked in Washington for the Public Health Service as editor of the Surgeon General's Report on Nutrition and Health, published in 1988. Why was this book never updated, as planned?
A. Because it is too controversial. If you tell people what to eat, you have to tell them to eat less of certain things, and then it's, eat less of what? The sugar industry people were in our office all the time. They most emphatically did not want us to say eat less sugar. The meat industry was really worried, since fat was a big issue, and meat is where the saturated fat is. They didn't want the surgeon general's report to say eat less meat. And it didn't.

Hey, Blogger Pro is out! I'm not using Blogger for this site anymore but we still use a group blog to coordinate our D&D meetings, draft posts and email distribution sound useful for that purpose. Unfortunately, it doesn't support Mozilla yet, so I think I'll have to hold off until then. Very reasonably priced, though.
Busy, busy, busy. I'm on semi-hiatus until the end of the month.
I was in New York for the last two days and I had this pretty nice view from my hotel room.
Today is Orthodox Christmas in Russia and there was an amusing report on NPR about the Americanization of the holiday. Unfortunately, I can't find the "Grandfather Frost versus Santa Claus" website.
A new Moosewood cookbook is out and it sounds excellent. Anybody have any favorite vegetarian recipes?
