The first food holiday is over. If you survived Halloween without any extra cavities or pounds, nice work. If you’re of a less restrained nature, you might appreciate help to make it through the food holiday season, which lasts until Easter.
Today’s offering: healthy gingerbread. Please note: “healthy gingerbread” is only healthy if you don’t eat half the cake in one sitting. Not that we would ever do that. Nope. Never.
The juror who asked to be excused from the Sen. Ted Stevens trial had an ulterior motive. She wanted to see a horse race.
After reviewing her case, the judge determined the race in question was the Breeders’ Cup and didn’t charge her. Keeping her at the trial would have been like asking a football fanatic to deliberate intelligently while missing the Super Bowl.
Political reporter Jerry Cornfield will comment on today’s election online. Remember, Jerry knows a lot about elections, but he has no control over them. He can’t respond to pleas to “make it all stop.” Stay calm, enjoy Jerry’s commentary and rest easy knowing the election season will be over in a few short hours.
