Links:
[New York Times; Wayback] (by Amelia Nierenberg; h/t Matt Levine) Life (in this case, a tomato plant) finds a way.
[Youtube] Good Eats is back, and still great. (Note: this video kicked me out for geo-locking reasons *mid-watch*. I simply turned on a U.S. proxy and went right back, and was able to finish the episode. I look forward to the arrival of other episodes on video-distribution methods I have access to: my TV package† does not include Food Network.)
Laugh-rule entries:
[Youtube] (h/t recommended-videos sidebar on previous entry) Alton Brown sporks (so to speak) weird kitchen gadgets.

†Rogers is so desperate for TV subscribers that they offered us a TV/Internet bundle for $20 *less* than we were already paying them for Internet alone, hoping that we'll get attached and keep it when the promotion wears off two years later. We do not plan to keep it post-promotion, but for −$20/month we'll take it.

Also, I cannot, for the life of me, understand what all those leather straps are supposed to be – and I suspect that no suggestion I make will be sufficiently ‘PG’ for this setting!
