hmmm

if we get a national health care option, and everyone who doesnt have private insurance gets on it, and then there's a major H1N1 pandemic like they're predicting this fall....

that's gonna suck. cause it will still be a new system, without the financial resources built up to handle a large scale payout so early in the game.

oooo boy.

*toddles off to make sure assets are liquid, bills are paid and job is secure....*

And what you say about the "slightly less" or even about normal is what I have understood as well. Some of my co-workers seem to have taken the worst-case scenario reports to heart.

Speaking of normal, in a bit of a hijack, do you know of a recipe for zucchini bread that is more interesting than the the average? 95% of the zucchini b. I've been given or made myself is nice, but not delicious. I want something that forces the eyelids up.

mmm zucchini bread....
I use NF yogurt in mine...do you have access to The Best Recipe, the cookbook from cooks illustrated? their recipe is really good. I add in a bunch of stuff like toasty pecans, extra spices and sometimes chocolate chips :)

thanks. Pecans add fabulousness to everything, so they should give zucchini bread a boost.
I don't have that recipe book :-( so many books, as they say.
I wonder about baking it in a outdoor brick oven????hummmm
