Warms My Heart
A few years ago my mother found an amazing recipe for Thanksgiving Turkey. It requires all sorts of Rosemary and onions and the rinds of lemons. This magic list of instructions that was published once in Southern Living, has transformed our Thanksgiving. From the time I ate the broccoli and threw up at the kids table (thr table looked like a a giant crayola crayon) until about four years ago, I hated the dry, flavorless main course. Now it is my favorite meal of the year.
Meanwhile, Foreign Policy provides five of the most vaporous reasons to be thankful ever committed to the internet. I was sure to include "improved air safety" in my pre-meal prayers.
The following headline (found on Drudge this morning) is reason to be thankful: Pope to purge the Vatican of modern music. Cue "Hallelujah Chorus" Seriously, if I want to listen to third-rate K.T. Tunstall music, I'll buy a K.T. Tunstall album and listen to the tracks she doesn't release as singles. Pope Benedict understands something: if the people want to worship with pop music in English, they'll can go to a U2 concert or become Lutherans.
