Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac taken over by government.

Y'all remember them being privatized, right?

Can we have socialized medicine too, now?

Four days in a row where I've been productive on research things. I guess I'm not dropping out of grad school this week. I'm also trying to make a point of stopping earlier if my back is bothering me, and doing fun things that don't involve computers - which mostly means martial arts or cooking.

So today I made four eggplants worth of caponata (about two and a half quarts), and three eggplants worth of baba ganoush (about a cup and a half). Okay, so the capanata has a lot of non-eggplant stuff in it. But it's still at least half eggplant by volume. K was commenting on my unusual style of eggplant preparation for the baba ganoush... I'm still not sure it really is unusual (I've been making baba ganoush for over twenty years now, and it seems usual to me.)
