"From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines, going where I list, my own master total and absolute, Listening to others, considering well what they say, Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating, Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me."
Walt Whitman (1819-92)

Curry Favor
I was just looking for a good quick Curry Chicken recipe, and wanted to share some of the ones that I'm finding.
First, there was this one, obviously written by a person who is actually from India.

Then there is this one, from Punjab, which calls for a "14 lb. chicken." Frankly, if I saw a 14 lb. chicken, I wouldn't call it, I would run.

It was empty, and the charity had been trying to get rid of it. The unused safe “was very heavy,” director Susan Simpkins says, “and they did us a favor by taking it.” The only other thing missing was a small amount of petty cash. (AP) ...For services rendered.
