Morning link salad...

[wshaffer]

Being the world's biggest fan of the one pot meal, it's rare that I invent a side dish that I'm really happy with. So, I have to post a link to last night's Braised Carrots and Chickpeas. Which could actually be a one pot meal, in a pinch, but I served it as a side with pan-grilled sausages.

The headline In Lincoln's Watch, A Mystery Revealed had my brain expecting a piece of Doctor Who fan fic entitled "Five US Presidents Who Were Really Time Lords", but the truth is cooler.

The Guardian has made a bunch of the statistical data it has collected available online, in Google Spreadsheet format. I've been particularly fascinated by Carbon dioxide emission per capita for each US state. What are they doing in Wyoming? Drinking light sweet crude for breakfast?

I suspect, being isolated farm country, there's simply more general internal combustion engines per head of population.

That's undoubtedly true, but they're still putting out way more CO2 than anyone else, even states that I would presume were equally rural and agricultural.

I would like to contest your claim to the title of "world's biggest fan of the one pot meal."
