Uh...slight detour -- Carbon Based Lifeforms just released VLA -- consisting of a single hour-long track. Ambient droney goodness.

Yeah, what it boils down to (fnar fnar) is what kind of taste one wants.
Me: got tired of having pasta arrabiata canceled everywhere I could find it, or having one place spice up some marinara with red pepper flakes -- bleargh -- so I made my own. It was delicious.
Earlier today I followed Jacob's advice of a longer stew time with more liquid and lower temperature, and the stew beef came out much more tender. I had also left it in a bath with more orange juice than previously.
Finished season two (of ^ ).
Started season two of Marvel's Agent Carter -- totally love this show. "Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?" -- Peggy taunting Stark with a (his) bloody Mary.
Galavant -- this might be the second greatest show ever (after Archer). Two episodes in a row had me laughing -- Giants vs. Dwarves and About Last Night.
Also humidity -- especially with electrostatics. I realize that might not be much of an issue where you are (Greenland? Iceland? Frozenshitholeland? No, wait, that last one's Canada...and maybe some parts of Minnesota and North Dakota), but here in the DC tri-state area...
