I've fallen way behind on the food thing, but I have some ideas and will try, if not to catch up, to at least provide some more basics.
However, rather than discuss the sublime or ridiculous of food, I have an article from The Washington Post that makes me uncertain whether I should laugh or cry.
The Justice Department has been found to perpetrate unjust hiring practices. In the 1970s, when my mother was beginning her career as a civil servant, an applicant would have walked straight to the Equal Employment Office if a "political litmus test" had just been administered. Mom actually did sue over hiring practices -- she was passed over in favor of a less qualified man because she had "a husband to take care of her" -- so I'm not saying this lightly. By the way, she won.
How was this able to continue for so long? In the JUSTICE Department?!?
