Instead York and Cox boil it down to simple hero worship and idolatry by the “barbarians.” It shows disrespect for the panel and Wilson. Would the National review show the same disrespect for featured speakers at other conventions? I wonder.</p> The dishonest part of York’s piece is that –although Wilson is a bonified hero in my mind– York breezes over the fact that Wilson is one of the “honored guests.” And honored guests on any panel, academic, and otherwise are treated with honor.

I guess I expect too much thought and fairness and willingness to be sympathetic and dealing with complexities and all that. *Sigh*<br /> I wasn’t in Vegas, but I saw the CSPAN coverage and think that “journalists” like York could have given more attention to Wilson’s actual role and his statments than the well-deserved and obligatory words of praise here and there by other members of the panel.<br /> Some journalism is like looking at the surface of someone’s cracked broken mirror. Sorry I can’t think of a better metaphor.</p> Actually I thought Byron York’s piece was virtually unreadable.

Recipe traders. Okay, let’s get it straight - Ana Marie Cox is a moron, has bad taste in short pants, drinks too much, takes it up the ass, and likes to use sperm as face cream. I’m as much of a fan of character assassination as the next guy so keep up the good work.</p> This is too perfect. Recipe traders.

I’ve lost the cookbook for it but I’ll find a recipe online. I remember putting halves of onions in a small baking dish, covering with milk, some butter, salt, cover and bake. Vidalia’s my favorite, but the first time I made it it was just a regular old yellow onion. The milk condenses.</p> OK Kiddo, it’s just the sweetest best way I’ve ever eaten an onion.

thanks!

lhp – wow! wild yeasts? what a blessing! what fun!

and i’m embarassed to say i’ve been tending to my tender yeasty beasties by the clock, rather than by their biological activity. that whole dough volume thing is very helpful.

perhaps the problem with my dense loaves has been the dense biologist baking them.

rwcole –

i would love a good cracked wheat recipe – and thanks for helping me learn about flour (i’ve been wondering what “all-purpose” meant)

Whats involved in harvesting yeast from apples or grapes ? I’ve read about harvesting from existing fermentation, but that presumes you had a good batch of yeast to start.

I was curious about this, I’ve made wine a few times, but with commercial yeast, everything else from scratch, and I’ve how do you harvest yeast from scratch ?
