Down the rabbit hole?; Pats still 'crippled' to West press; Football food; Antarctic Journal; no garden blogs
Half man, half beast?
Stem cell experts seek rabbit-human embryo. Guardian (UK). Coming right on thr heels of the fluorescent green pigs story, it brings to mind words like "abomination."
Pats are still 'crippled' in the West: S.F. Chronicle amazes with,
New England has become largely one-dimensional. Injuries to offensive linemen and running back Corey Dillon have rendered the running game ineffective.
Somebody's been reading old clips. Pony Express hasn't delivered the news.
Don't bet against Brady and Belichick.
I'm looking forward to the next two days. This may be the most fun more than two people can have in January.
Football food: I don't do nachos, tacos and wings. New recipes I'm looking at for the four-game playoff marathon this weekend (It might be five -- my brother's arriving from a wedding in Russia late Saturday night, so I've promised to record the Pats game so he can watch it for breakfast Sunday morning):
These Pats games have been family affairs at my house for years. We're expecting he'll bring vodka and caviar to the party. I can boil the eggs and chop red onion. There's a lemon and sour cream in my fridge, and I can make toast.
Recipes that caught my eye (just in case...):
Scallops with White Wine Sauce
Chard, Tomato And Cheese Casserole
Garlic, Brie And Tomato Toast Appetizers
Beef Meatballs with Parmesan
Greek Mussels
Layered Shrimp Dip
Cumin-Coconut Skewered Chicken
I fill in with cheese and veggies, store-bought pine-nut hummus and Planter's cocktail peanuts and comice pears. And always one odd surprise, like chocolate truffles from Whole Foods.
Our man in Antarctica: Rhode Island sculptor Gabriel Warren is on his second stint in Antarctica, thanks to a tiny grant program called Artists and Writers in Antarctica. He's sending back emails detailing his days, with photos, and I'm chasing down links and publishing it all in chunks.
You'll find it popping up from the projo home page, or at this flat link (Okay, it's a redirect.) . Registration not required.
I have no head: I forgot to post the new garden blogs to the Garden Blgos list, and now I'm home and can't reach them. Monday. Is time accelerating? The pitching machine in my batting cage is going way too fast.

Norway is planning to build a "doomsday vault" inside a mountain on an Arctic island to hold a seed bank of all known varieties of the world's crops.
Go Pats.
