Spotlight was an amazing movie. I took my journalism students to see it, and we were all blown away. Also angry. Really, really angry.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Happy Birthday, Shrift! May this be your happiest and healthiest year yet.
Laura, which vegan challenge are you doing? I'm so IN.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Because I am a giant dork I made a spreadsheet of movies from two Oscar prediction lists mapping out what is nominated for what. I did not put on every movie on their lists and I still ended up with 49.

Our wings are not tired.
This one, bonny. [link] I've done it before. Some days like today I eat out, but it is easy enough to work that in. We chose a Japanese buffet tonight to go out with various visiting family and there were many great options. My health situation makes vegan the best choice.

Excellent, Laura.
Neal Barnard is an old acquaintance of mine...we worked in the same circles. I'd never even heard of veganism before I met him...carrying his lunch in a plastic bag on the Metro.
I'm sure he'd give me a hard time that it has taken me so long to come around, but here we are.
I'm pretty excited!

I have restocked my kitchen, and now I don't know what I want to make for dinner tonight. There are too many options!

Happy birthday, shrift! I think you should make something festive. However you'd like to define that. Maybe sprinkles could be involved?

There are... sprinkles of spices on the vegetables that I'm roasting?

Spotlight is one my top five list, for sure.
Indeed.
I made my first dinner from the Bon Appetit cleanse thing--salmon and white beans with sage and chard w/ mushrooms. Delicious!
