Mad props, however, to the California Browncoats for hustling to make the best of a bad situation and to the Browncoats everywhere who are opening their wallets to help them out. And even more props to Adam Baldwin for showing up anyway.

A-men!

Anyone got a totally kick-ass recipe they'd like to share?

I have one chicklet25 shared with me that is scrumptious. I will dig it up and email to you this weekend. :)

1) I got a pumpkin bread one that includes chocolate chips if you want it. It'll take me a bit to type it up, but I'll send it to your lj email.

2) When watching S60 this week, I kept thinking "Hey, Aaron actually listened to Sus!". I was checking off the 5 things in my head. *g*

Why isn't this show the number one comedy and completely weighed down with Emmys? There is no justice.

Becuase people suck. It's amazing that Arrested Development got the props it deserved. I want to fix the Emmys. You know how much I want to make out with that awards show, but sometimes those Emmy voters are fucking wasted.

I *love* Scrubs and have been trying to get people hooked for six years now. For all the long time fans that are starting to get tired of it (there are a few around me) there seems to be a matching new fan who is just finding the show now. I think the constant rerunning of it this season has helped them immensely. I haven't watched last night's epi yet but I cannot wait. I also am excited for the upcoming musical!!

I have a pumpkin gingerbread recipe but have never tried it. Will email that to you! :)

Who knew that all we had to do was offer to fix the shows for free and they'd take us up on it? :) You need a direct line to Aaron's office. Look how well things work when they show well-meaning people actually working on a challenging task. It's a Christmas miracle!

Scrubs is just exactly the right combination of daffy (drumline!) and gooey (in the end, only Turk can give Carla what she needed during labor--sniff!) for me, although I wonder how many people can't accommodate the wild forays into fantasy or the quick cuts to five different jokes in three seconds. We've talked about this before, but it explains why King of Queens or Two and a Half Men survive while Arrested Development sails into the sunset--a lot of people don't want to have to think about their TV after a long day; they just want to put their feet up and get a half-hearted chuckle out of something that doesn't demand anything from them at all. That is completely foreign to me--if my television isn't making me work a little and rewarding me for that work, it's boring me--but these days I'm not sure I can blame anyone for being tired at the end of the day.

Which Libby's recipe did you use? I generally use and love their Pumpkin Cranberry Bread recipe that includes orange juice--although I use Craisins instead of fresh and add tons of pecans--but Dave doesn't like cranberries, right? If that's not the one you use, I can send it to you to see if you like it or if it's similar to the one you already have.

In fact, Craisins are the only dried fruit that I can stand. I even made cranberry spice cookies for the cookie exchange.

She could pick 'em out and eat the bread! Or, you know, not put them in in the first place.

She actually ate cranberry muffins over Thanksgiving, but she might have just been being polite. ;)

I'd think you could substitute any number of other things for the cranberries to good effect--just nuts or chocolate chips and nuts or...other things and nuts. I've found the bread has a mild but distinct flavor, is moist (the OJ, maybe?), and gets that awesome "crust" that you get on really good quickbreads. But it's also possible I'm not a gourmand, so...grain of salt. It's also really easy--it's what I make to give to the neighbors every Christmas.

And it uses Alton's muffin method!
