This bit from Glenn Reynolds reminded me of something. On our last trip to Indiana it was strange to see Anglo-Saxon-style Hoosiers doing outdoors work. Here in Illinois Mexicans do that sort of work outside the smaller towns. Why the difference?

Lisa's in Indiana this weekend helping her Mom recover from a knee replacement. While she's there she's feasting on baked beans and cornbread (the food I hate most) and the kids and I will have baked chicken (the food she hates most). I'll need to refer to this webpage: How to Bake Chicken.

Sarah turned 9 today! She spent most of the day writing a story (in emacs :-) about our visit to Indiana last week and drawing studies of faces. Our birthday traditions include a custom menu for the day and a scavenger hunt through the house for presents in the evening; Sarah's menu for today was French toast & sausage for breakfast, grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch and spaghetti for supper. She also requested a "Tunnel of Fudge" cake from the Pillsbury cookbook and chocolate ice cream. Death by chocolate after supper!
