Out of the Blue

I put a pot of Bolognese sauce on the stove to finish this morning after starting it yesterday and letting it sit in the refrigerator overnight. I left this unattended a little too long and some bits burned, though not to the extent that the sauce was ruined, just enough to give it a little more character, so that's fine. The weird thing is how the BlueTower now smells vaguely, but unmistakably of chocolate, which has nothing to do with any of the ingredients in the sauce. This is to the extent that I went downstairs expecting to find MrsBlue cooking some of her famous brownies, but it was just my sauce. I'm not sure what weird chemical reaction I've caused here, but I may just have to request that a batch of those brownies get made now, because the aroma has put me in a mood.

No, there will still be countries that want to host it, because there are countries that are actually capable of making money off of it. The USA is a pretty good example, as they usually wind up in the black.

It's just going to be the really really big economies that will wind up hosting it every time, and apparently that's wrong or something. Much better to force a country that's already teetering on the verge of bankruptcy to spend billions and billions of dollars on stadiums and infrastructure that becomes completely utterly worthless after the games are done.

I'm sure all the people in Greece are absolutely THRILLED to have all these abandoned venues in and near Athens.

Yeah, you're right. Because America has zero influence on us or the rest of the planet. Wow, spoken like an American who has never been outside of America. Or quite possibly his own town and/or state.

If it wasn't for the extra opportunities for politicians to fill their pockets with cash, I don't think many countries would want to host the Olympics.

This.


carmelized meat/tomato sauce smells sorta like chocolate... its an earthy sweetness

I used to come home from work a lot thinking my wife was making waffles or cookies. Nope, just dinner, but it sure smelled like waffles/cookies. It's weird when it's meat.

And I agree, Nye should have never debated that clown in the first place. The fact that even he gives those hillbillies credence does harm. Lincoln should have let the south go. They'd be happy living in their shacks in Jesusland while we'd be happy living in a Star Trek like utopia of the future.

So one form of surveillance justifies another?

I have a hard time faulting someone for trying to educate and inform. I'd like to imagine he had a greater impact than he's being credited with. Sure the loud mouths will come out louder than before, but its the people who stay quiet and listen that might start to think critically. Even Pat Robertson said Ham needs to stop being a moron. Well not in those exact words, but close enough

Coco Bolognese. I like the sound of it. Maybe dribble some long fingers of bolognese sauce on a silicone baking mat and bake them until they're just slightly burnt and serve them on the side? Perhaps sprinkle them with a little parmesan right at the end of baking to give them body? Mmmm... I smell an experiment.

Let's have the the Olympics in Detroit next time so journalists can critique it.
