Workforce anecdote
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?

How to bake a whole chicken
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.

Nine!
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!
