Mmm. We used to dredge our squash blossoms in spiced flour and quickly fry them. Dee-licious.

And of course Starbucks is raising their prices. You can tell by their constant and horrific expansion that they're hurting for money. It will be $6 coffee eventually. I've been traveling to NYC quite regularly this year, and like most places, there's a Starbucks everywhere you turn. The difference between here and there seems to be that the stores I see in New York are busy all day, every day. There aren't better alternatives like there are here (insert your favorite local coffee vendor). Personally, I'm trying to wean myself off the fancy coffee.

Delay just thinks that aborted white fetus' are just lost votes for the GOP.

I'm happy that squash blossom is regularly available from Alvarez farms at the Broadway Farmers Market. Now if I could only find huitacochle I could make a squash blossom and huitacochle omelet. (Available at the River Cafe in Puerto Vallarta).

Kill 'em all and let their buddy Jeebus sort 'em out.

Cutting them off from health care is God's way of punishing them for their sin of poverty.

@1-You can stuff the squash blossoms with a mix of goat cheese and parmesan before dredging and frying them.

For my money, they had the best coverage of the Middle East evAr: "Saddam Hussein and gay lover Osama Bin Laden adopt Naked Ape Baby!" (anyone finds that pic wins my undying gratitudes)

"Saddam Hussein and gay lover Osama Bin Laden adopt Naked Ape Baby!"

That could have been on the cover of TIME given today's standards.

And who works the fields to harvest these squash if not the gourd child?
At least they are not laced with formadahyde and stuck in trailers.

Muy caliente!

I am sad to hear about the Weekly World News. Just another case of the Man shutting down anyone who dares to tell the truth.

Where can I get some squash blossoms? I've heard of the B'way Farmer's Market, but where and when is it? Can I get them at the Pike Place Market? (I realize as a true Capitol Hillbilly I should make an effort to support the B'way market, but the idea of these is making me hungry RIGHT NOW!)
