Divisions and Precisions

The worst thing...

...about cooking in a slow cooker when you're home all day is smelling the food cooking . All day. I have been smelling round steak with vegetables in an oniony mushroom gravy since 9 am this morning. This morning it was a vaguely off-putting smell. For about the last hour or so, it's been smelling like heaven. I can't breathe without drooling on myself.

Also, I feel compelled to note that I am avoiding the media today. Call me a coward, but last year's anniversary memorials brought me down for days. I'm avoiding that this year. However, I do feel compelled to pass this along. If you read Tomato Nation, then you know that Sars lives in New York. She was one of the many who watched the towers fall, and wrote an incredibly moving entry about it. Part of her story involved the kindness of a stranger, a man she'd never met before and that she hasn't seen since. She'd like to thank him. So, if you can, help Sars find Don.
