in a teacup in Bridgeport? Two legislators in an electronic
catfight, challenging each other to drug tests? It was pretty

funny,

if somewhat pathetic.

Everything about Bridgeport is somewhat pathetic,
though funny in the ha ha sense, that may be a rarity.

Head-shakingly dumb on the other hand is a weekly occurrence.

What a fun place to be!

I knew somebody who knew somebody who spent most of
her life trying to make Bridgeport a less mephitic
place. Didn't work.

A lot of folks give up and move to North Carolina.

What a fun place to be!

More like broke and anonymous.

You could find a Rembrandt, or like a girl I knew, a
15th-century Haggadah.

I wouldn't mind. Most of what I find is Maxwell House and poker-
playing dogs.

Though you could conceivably use some of that eye
for antiquarian bargains to your advantage. By the
way, I hear poker playing dogs can be big money.

the Fusskaese microorganism, which is supposed to be
part of the biome of the Limburger but not of the Brie.

Hmmmm.... cross-breeds in this case don't sound too appetizing.

It's a war of the fungi in your mouth.

I just had a tooth pulled, long disgusting story omitted, so "Mouth"
is a dirty word right now.

What fun are you ... of course you're not a gi.

When it gets down to the price of flour, maybe.
Or if you happen to have some brimburger cheese
as posited above and want something nasty enough
to call your guests' attention away from it.

I bought some gluten-free matzoh substitute today. Everything matzoh
isn't worth the effort. They have a bunch of garlic in the mix, but
it's that dried stuff with the bitter aftertaste. On the upside the
store marked them down to 50 cents, so not much money wasted.

Cheaper than birdseed. What were the things made of?

Chicken Kapama - Greek Braised Cinnamon Chicken
categories: Mediterranean, poultry, main, gluten-free, paleo, dairy-free serves: 4 to 6

4 lb chicken, cut into 8 pieces
- skin left on, bones in
2 Tb butter
2 Tb olive oil
1 lg yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 c canned whole stewed peeled tomatoes
3 Tb tomato paste
2 cinnamon sticks
1 ts ground cinnamon (plus more for the chicken)
sea salt and black pepper, to taste
h- garnish
fresh lemon wedges
parsley
pasta, zucchini noodles, rice, cauliflower rice
Myzithra, Kasseri or Romano cheese, grated

Rinse and pat dry the chicken parts. Season with salt and
pepper and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Heat the olive oil and
butter in a dutch oven or other large pan over a high heat.
When the oil is hot, add the chicken parts (working in
batches if necessary, so as not to crowd the pan, which
steams the chicken instead of browning it), brown the
chicken about 4 min per side, when nicely browned on all
sides, remove the chicken from the pan and continue
browning the rest. Pour off any excess oil, leaving 2 Tb
in the pan. Lower the heat to medium-high and add the
onions. Cook for 2 to 3 min, until soft, then add the
garlic, cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes,
tomato paste, cinnamon sticks and ground cinnamon.
Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken pieces
back to the pan. The chicken should be submerged in
the liquid about 3/4 of the way. Reduce the heat to
low, cover the pan and allow to simmer 1 hr, stirring
gently or shaking the pan from time to time, to move
the chicken around. Then remove the lid, and allow to
simmer 30 min, so the sauce can reduce slightly. If
the sauce gets too thick at any point, you can add a
little water. Cook until the chicken is tender,
thoroughly cooked and nearly falling off the bone.

Serve over pasta, noodles or zucchini noodles tossed
with brown butter, if you like, garnish with fresh
parsley, a squeeze of lemon and grated cheese of
your choice.

CT legislators tend to be entertaining, at least.

The Carolinas can be, at least until Summer sets in.

So I'm told. I did score a gold chain this morning for peanuts.
I'll use it to pay for my peanuts and other goodies.

Definitely not a judo belt.

Mostly potato starch. That's why I figured they'd work.
