I am now blogging over at Crescat Sententia . Kazakhstan to teach English for the Peace Corps. I'll be working in a secondary school somewhere there. (But where is that country? Here. ). I'll come back to the US in mid-August 2006 and start law school that fall.

moving alert:Will and Jonathan Baude have invited me to join a conspiracy over at baude.blogspot.com , despite the fundamental unfit of our last names. So, come visit me there if you like random notes on Nauru (provided with the same promptness as The Onion's Outside Scoop), or the same copyright infringement of books I like (possibly coming next: a poem entitled "Flood" or something from Graham Greene's "The Heart of the Matter" or [non-fiction] "The Wages of Whiteness" or the ever-present, ever-popular, E: none of the above), or random comments on what I dream about and write in my sleep (memories I'll learn to ignore), or whatever else it is I write about or whatever else you read this for (there will continue to be little along the lines of I did X,Y,&Z; today--I must appear somewhat unpredicatable and mysterious). http://home.uchicago.edu/~abutler, although I'm sure this is a matter far more relevant to me than to anyone else. [yes, it does currently say "The page cannot be found."] I will continue to blogsquat here.Annie , Kathy , Sudeep , Sudeep's hypothetical future cat , Will (and other Baudes) , Alex , Kristy , Ruthie The Advocate , Style Invitational , Miss Manners , Volokh Conspiracy , How Appealing , Actual Malice , Bartleby , KJV , Choking Lot of Quotes , Weather.com: 60637 Baton Rouge High , U Chicago , U Chicago Law

OK... this is frustrating. Blogger won't display any of my sidebar -- my archives or my links -- and it will only display the most recent post. I don't know why it's doing this. Certainly, I didn't conciously program any of that. The closest troubleshooting I could find on the Blogger page suggested switching to "no archive" format. I tried that, and it didn't work. If you have any brilliant suggestions, please email me. If you have any ideas on how to fix this that are likely brighter than mine (remember: I don't know how to program), please email me.

Hmm. I hope this is just Blogger going crazy on me. I have no idea how to fix this.

I don't know why my sidebar has disappeared. Thoughts?

I used to think that the recipes in the New York Times were written on an absurdly high level for people expert at parching foods at precisely six and one-half minutes with ingredients that required trips to grocery stores not found in Hyde Park (especially now that Binny's Beverage Depot has replaced the Wine and Cheese Chalet). Escautoun With Basque Cheese and Wild Mushrooms requests the ingredients I expect from the NYT: duck fat, Esplette pepper, fresh wild mushrooms (trompettes de mort or the lowly hedgehogs), Basque sheep's milk (ok, so it gives some substitutes). The cooking directions aren't bad, though. For complicated and likely to fail, try pate a choux . how to boil an egg . Pardon? [And no, it's not a Minimalist recipe.] Just what audience are you catering to? Expecting that some folks will soon be cooking Seders, the recipe states "But cooking hard-boiled eggs can be almost as bewildering as nailing down their symbolism." No. Nailing down the symbolism in Judaism of a hard-boiled egg beyond me, but these eggs were one of the first things I learned how to cook, even before I could scramble them. Sheesh. How complicated would they make simple food coloring if they reprinted the instructions for Easter? Some of the directions the recipe gives are pretty bad, too. Julia Child does 17 min, an ice bath, 10 sec, another ice bath. Wonderful if you want rocks. And there's something about 4 hours of simmering? Uh-huh, no. Stick the eggs in some water, bring them to a boil. 10 minutes, maybe 12, that's what it takes. Bathe them in ice water, they'll never get cool anytime soon if you don't.

Does "The game is over. May peace previal," spoken by the Iraqi ambassador to the UN, Mohammed Aldouri, count as surrender?
