  • Back by popular demand, the renovations of my office's ladies' restroom:


    I don't see any hidden cameras, do you? But that's not to say that they aren't there.

    Also, what I've recently learned... the men's room and the ladies' room, I believe are connected because you can hear someone pulling toilet tissue and flushing, from the far wall.

  • The horror of today. I walked passed these group of people (on Empire Blvd. for those that don't know Brooklyn from the picture) for about an hour and 30 minutes to get to a train:

    New York Transit System Crippled by Flooding

    By GRAHAM BOWLEY and JOHN HOLUSHA 

    Subway stations were flooded after thunderstorms last night, forcing
    delays on all lines. The region’s three major airports all reported
    cancellations and delays.

    Subway service won’t be restored until at least noon.

    Subway delays forced commuters out onto the streets
    and into taxis and buses, bringing traffic in many areas to a
    standstill. Above, commuters in Brooklyn today.

    Summer Vegetable Ratatouille
    Submitted by:
    Rani
     
    		 Lots and lots of vegetables and lots of cutting and cubing, but well
    worth the effort. This fresh vegetable medley makes a batch, but it
    freezes well. Everything is sauteed in batches and then mixed together
    and chilled or served warm.
    Original recipe yield:
    8.
    Servings:
    8 (Change)

    INGREDIENTS:


    • 2 onion, sliced into thin rings

    • 3 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 medium eggplant, cubed

    • 2 zucchini, cubed

    • 2 medium yellow squash, cubed

    • 2 green bell peppers, seeded and cubed

    • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced

    • 1 chopped red bell pepper

    • 4 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped

    • 1/2 cup olive oil

    • 1 bay leaf

    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

    • 4 sprigs fresh thyme

    • salt and pepper to taste

    DIRECTIONS:


    1. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoon of the oil in a large pot over medium-low heat.
      Add the onions and garlic and cook until soft.

    2. In a large skillet, heat 1 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and saute the
      zucchini in batches until slightly browned on all sides. Remove the
      zucchini and place in the pot with the onions and garlic.

    3. Saute all the remaining vegetables one batch at a time, adding 1 1/2
      tablespoon olive oil to the skillet each time you add a new set of
      vegetables. Once each batch has been sauteed add them to the large pot
      as was done in step 2.

    4. Season with salt and pepper. Add the bay leaf and thyme and cover the
      pot. Cook over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes.

    5. Add the chopped tomatoes and parsley to the large pot, cook another 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally.

    6. Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning.

  • "I've warned her about her frequent absenses. I think we should consider replacing her. We'll wait till [someone] get's back."

    Well, looks like my long awaited dream will come true soon. She dug herself in a nice little hole right there. I do hope her replacement isn't someone terrible.

  • They do say looking into one's room can say alot about a person. Obviously, I'm a mess. But Trixie is able to lie down on top of that mess. That's why I gotta love her. She's not fazed by me.
