Day 342 in the Harvest Festival At My House.

I have Simon Schama lecturing about the abolition of slavery in the UK and US on my iPod for AFTER Bob Dole is off my radiddio (BOD DOLE, y'all! I knew he was being kept in a basement somewhere by the Pugs...how did he escape?) so all is not lost.

I'm roasting tomatoes to puree down and make into a concentrated...STUFF like tomato paste (but better 'cuz I made it!). And putting up more corn. I am refusing to eat/process any more squash. I made my cousin take all the squash--I just can't HANDLE IT. The autumn crops go in this weekend, mostly greens and root vegetables (turnips, rutabagas, more carrots).

I also have some leftover risotto so I am making arinchini. It could be said that sometimes I don't know when to stop, but I was already cooking for like 12 hours, why not get everything out of the way at once?


Oh snap! Bob Dole just said "We can't be the No Party." God, can you imagine being him? Your life's work down the drain because your "colleagues" all go wacko. And as per usual, I don't agree w/ him about the fiscal conservatism, but his commentary about Obama needing to shit or get off the pot with his own healthcare bill is not only right but a pretty big indictment of how the entire system has gone off the rails. The President's supposed to come right out and say "this is what I want" then the congressional allies work to make that happen. ?????? An 8th grader knows that. What's going on here? BULLSHIT all over this one.

Bob Dole is like my Pug fake grandpa (yeah, I'm a wackadoodle, you wouldn't be reading this now if I wasn't).

I am rethinking maybe becoming a power executive and employing a maid.
