What are some staple foods(items) in your kitchen that might not typically be considered such?

I prefer Tony Chacere's cajun seasoning.

For something different, you could marinate it in wine and spices.

As a general trend, I've observed that many women who identify emphatically and foremost as women rather than as people have a bunch of issues.

I agree with you here for the most part, but I think it's interesting that you linked this identification as a woman before a person with traditional femininity, because I think the same thing can happen with women who are very committed to feminism. For me, being a woman is down the line quite a bit in my many levels of identity. Because of this, I often have trouble relating to women who view gender as primary to the way people relate to each other.

If you learn to make a simple white sauce, you can abandon the box stuff for good.

First, melt 1-2 tbs butter in a sauce pan.

Then add 1-2 tbs flour.

Stir the flour until it starts to look golden.

Stir in 1-1.5 cups milk.

After the milk is warm, add cheese with abandon (but 1 cup is probably sufficient).

Mix with pasta and revel in its tastiness.

sure, if you're a francoist. ;)

It was both.

The Telegraph may be centre right, but some of the comments seem to go much further right and reminiscent of the U.S. tea party people with their comparison of the EU to Hitler's goal of empire. Wow, the internet sure does bring out the crazies.

Thank you, Judith Butler.

I'd say getting drunk should be a last resort. It's way too easy to get dehydrated on a long flight as it is and this will only make it worse.

Hold on a second. I'll just reach over to your screen and get that extra 's' off there for you...

I wonder how this affects problem-solving abilities since "sleeping on it" has been shown to help.

Novels in a second language can be tough. I read academic prose in Spanish frequently and fluently, but depending on the writer, I still struggle with some novels.

I was kind of amused by the joke, but frowned disapprovingly at the inclusion of the explanation.

This seems like a nice thing for White Castle to do since not everyone can afford a fancy Valentine's dinner out.

A waste of government funds certainly doesn't make me happy. Even if they were to give them to the kids instead, the premise is still bad: sorry, you're disabled, have an i-pod to make up for it...

I think you mean: "My grandma fucking died today" since you love your grandma and it's the dying part that sucks. At any rate, sorry to hear about your loss. It sounds like you have lots of good memories.

Just wait until you try Opera. It's even better.

For something comprehensive and readable, check out Hugh Thomas, The Spanish Civil War.

Though outdated in some ways, Gerald Brenan's The Spanish Labyrinth is also worth a read.

For a journalistic account of the bombing of the town of Guernica, check out George Steer's book on the subject.

The six part BBC documentary is excellent especially on the anarchists.

Edit: Also, check out the movie, Butterfly It shows quite well how the war politicized everything.

I find the Taiping Rebellion fascinating.

Meaning the revolution that occurred in the midst of the Civil War?

I can't upvote this enough. I was impressed instantly.

The problem isn't the video games, it's that he's not spending enough time with you. The weight seems like a secondary issue. Ask him to do things with you besides things like exercise which you know he's not a fan of. Even though you live together, you can and should still plan "date" nights. If he's not receptive to spending more time with you then there's a problem in the relationship.

I totally agree and I'm a late-afternoon exerciser myself. Some experts even think that exercising later is better for your body: http://www.cnn.com/2003/HEALTH/diet.fitness/05/27/exercise.time/index.html
