We have Cousin Jay coming over on Saturday for smoked prime rib.  Anytime he comes over it is a special day for sure and it is the end of Passover and the beginning of Easter so a special dinner is required and a special bread to go with it.

This recipe is our favorite cupcake but we made it as a cocktail loaf thinking maybe the Baby or Baby Girl would take one of them into work to spread the sugar around.  The recipe can be found here

1/6/2017 - New Year’s Pizza a Few Days Late

After our discussion last week about robots, sure enough we were over whelmed by them this week.  They were everywhere.  Blackrock, one of the largest money managers in the world announced they were firing all of their human analysis's from now on and all analyzing will be done by robots from now on. I want to know if the robots are named Fred or Doris,  I want to know what robot is doing my analyzing on important stuff like investments.

Lucy and I were talking about robots the other day.  I told her that I was pretty sure pets would be replaced by robots before people would be.  She thought about that and then said something truly profound.  She said I might be right.

We are in morning.  Crayola is discontinuing the dandelion color in their box of 24.  No color has been discontinued in over 100 years.  We think they hate weeds and shades of yellow.  As a Libertarian who has long fought for the legalization of weed, this comes as an especially heavy blow….. almost as bad as when Arizona did not pass recreational weed use last November.   Life is not fair but we will never give up!

With Lucy being on strike this week after she found out the FBI was surveilling both Hilary and Trump during and after the last presidential campaign.  She wanted to know if I was surveilling her and she did not like it, not one little bit, when I said I could not confirm or deny any ongoing investigations by the Master just like the FBI’s director James Comey can’t talk about his investigations or confirm or deny they are even going on.

With a corned beef; making, soaking and smoking going on for the big day, we don’t have a lot of time to mess around with this week’s sprouted sourdough.  Lucy wanted to do Ballymaloe’s SD brown bread  which would have been perfect and we really like it, but that takes more time than I wanted to spend rounding up all the stuff that goes into it.  Plus, what we need in the freezer is a white bread.

Steven Hawking came out this week to say that humanity is doomed.  He says that we will kill ourselves by letting our future robots, that we create, take over the world and kill us off because……. we are too stupid to stop it.  My question is - Where has he been?  People have been predicting this and writing extensively about it for decades – not to mention all the movies made about it.

Lucy wanted to get back to her roots this week and she wanted to use something that has been on her pantry for a while collecting dust.  She was particularly upset about environmentalists saying that pets are totally not necessary and all they do is contribute greatly to global warming for no justifiable reason.
