25 The glorious moment won't be Coakley's concession, it won't be Brown's victory speech, it won't even be listening to my idiot liberal friends trying to explain away what happened. No, the true glory will be the look on Obama's face at his next public appearance. He's no longer the golden boy, the anointed one, the lightworker. He's now just a Chicago political hack who can't even get the streets plowed.

Posted by: Trimegistus at January 19, 2010 12:11 PM (hcLgF)

I plan on celebrating tonight with Don Julio Anejo, but hey, that's me.

Use below as a last resort.

Adjust cooking times for hotel room microwave.

Butterscotch Pudding

Serves 6

A couple of Pecan Crisps (recipe follows) and a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream are the perfect garnishes.

1Â¼ cups heavy cream

2 tablespoons light brown sugar

1Â½ teaspoons molasses

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Â½ teaspoon white vinegar

Salt

1Â¼ cups whole milk

Â½ cup sugar

4 egg yolks

Adjust the oven rack to the center position and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place 6 4-ounce ramekins in a 13-by-9-inch (or similarly sized) baking dish and set aside. In a small, heavy saucepan, heat Â¾ cup of the cream over medium-high heat until simmering, about 2 minutes, then set it aside off heat. Meanwhile, in a medium-size heavy saucepan, mix the brown sugar, molasses, vanilla, vinegar, and a small pinch of salt. Set the pan over medium-high heat and bring mixture to a simmer, swirling the pan occasionally to ensure that the brown sugar melts and the ingredients mix, about 2 minutes. Off heat, add the warm cream to the brown sugar mixture, swirl the pan to combine, and set aside.

Meanwhile, in another small, heavy saucepan, bring the milk, sugar, and remaining Â½ cup cream to a simmer over medium-high heat, swirling the pan occasionally to ensure that the sugar melts, about 4Â½ minutes. In a medium bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks. Secure the bowl in place by wrapping a damp kitchen towel around the base. Whisking constantly, very slowly pour both the cream-brown sugar mixture and the milk-sugar-cream mixture into the yolks until all incorporated. Strain this mixture into another bowl, then divide it evenly among the 6 ramekins.

Transfer the baking dish with the ramekins to the oven, and carefully pour warm water into the baking dish until it reaches just over halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until the puddings are set around the edges and the centers jiggle slightly when you gently shake the ramekins, about 1 hour. Cool the puddings until no longer hot, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 and up to 24 hours. Serve cold, garnished as suggested above.

I like the Boston baked beans idea.

Or maybe some Chivas Regal. Isn't that what Teddy Chappaquiddick drank?

If you wiped the Laptop because you're afraid of data theft, next time you can use TrueCrypt or Bitlocker. Those programs do whole disk encryption. If you wiped it because you're sharing the lappy with other people and you don't want them to see uh, what you're into, you can create a guest user to allow them internet access and the like. Just be sure to put your files and videos and sech into your user's directory and you're all set.

Of course I'm assuming you use Windows. If you use Apple, BSD, Linux or whatever I don't know all the equivalent options.

Its that you are dipping....

There is not judgment for what you dip into, but rather
the ceremonial dipping occurs.

Technically you can dip your " " on an orange...
or whatever fits your needs best
