(no subject)

I have a huge sweet potato, and when I was deciding what to do with it I was speculating wildly about my ability to make things like sweet-potato home fries. And I'd been thinking about scalloped potatoes already (except I only have two potatoes) when suddenly I thought: omg brilliant! Savory scalloped sweet potato! (None of that weird scalloped-sweet-potato as dessert thing, with sugar and cinnamon and apples.) With cheddar cheese and bechamel! How perfect for the day after sixteen inches of snow (beating the typical April-to-date record by fourteen inches)!

However, this seemed rather like the sort of dinner revelation that should be pondered further. (After all, I am the person who suddenly and on a whim decided that crushed tomatoes, canned tuna, and white beans would make a brilliant pasta sauce. Especially when topped with cheddar. Um. It was actually kinda good. Probably a clear sign that I was really short on some essential nutrient, though.)

Hence: a poll.

Open letters to the NBA

Dear Phoenix Suns: I know, I know, everybody says rest your hot players. But I know you're not that team. You want to play well and match your franchise-best for wins in a season. Right? RIGHT? So please put Nash and Marion in for a good long time and whump the Clippers but good.

Dear Golden State Warriors: Keeping the your coach's old team, the top team in the league, to no regular-season wins against you? That would be kinda awesome. Please make it so. After all, you're in the playoffs as of now and it would be great to manage to stay there even if the Clippers don't go down to the Suns. (Which they're so, so gonna, but please forget that.)

Thanks!
