oh crap

[donutsweeper]

Election crap isn't over the MN - the senate race is too close to call:

Coleman (Incumbent)	1,210,790	42%
Franken	1,210,028	42%
Barkley	437,146	15%

with 99% of precincts reporting. That means there will be a recount and a serious look at the absentee ballots and....

*VERY BIG SIGH*

eta- As of 6pm the race is 121644 for Coleman and 112167 for Franken so the margin is 477 votes!!!

microwaves are wonderful inventions

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I still remember those few weeks I lived without one. It was horrible.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

poor baby, I can imagine!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Heating stuff up in the oven is not quite the same.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

although some things should never be nuked and only heated in the oven...

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Very true.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

nuked onion rings are SCARY

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

*shudder* And fries.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

yep- basically anything that's supposed to be fried

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It's just so disturbing.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

but plenty of things work great- like leftover chinese or pasta

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Leftover chinese sounds really good right now.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I wish there was good Chinese near me, but no. :( The only decent place is a pretty far drive, although we still get it some times

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

There are too many to choose from around here.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

lucky stiff!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It's kind of ridiculous. I can't find a McD's in my neighborhood, but there are about twenty Chinese restaurants.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I'd rather go for chinese myself, but I know what you mean

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Well, I have to admit, one benefit of having so many is you can usually find some pretty cheap.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

and it's usually fairly healthy- for fast and cheap. there's actual veggies and whatnot

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Yes. Definitely better than McD's.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

a smidge less fat and sodium I'd expect

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Just a smidge.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

the only bad thing about chinese food is sometimes there is a lot of MSG in it and I can't eat that

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

And, thankfully, a lot of places here don't use any of that.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

in NY a lot did, but you could request for them not to. Here, most dont, but I tend to forget to ask and have gotten in trouble once or twice as a result.
