Some things baffle me

I heard that Hillary asked Chelsea if she had sex with Marc yet.
Chelsea replied to her "Not according to Dad."

So Lindsay Lohan got 90 days in jail because she made the choice to act like a spoiled jerk, I care because...?

From the "couldn't care less" file... I am finding this really hard to believe.

Lindsay Lohan says she can't afford court-ordered psychological treatment, her lawyer told a Los Angeles court on Thursday, according to People.

The 25-year-old's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, told a judge that Lohan hasn't been able to maintain UCLA psychological treatment due to "financial issues." Judge Stephanie Sautner was unsympathetic, saying that "she's got to find someone to help her out." The judge gave Lohan 21 days to show proof that she's enrolled in counseling.

Lohan also argued that she can't attend more affordable group counseling sessions because paparazzi would disrupt the session. However, she indicated to the court that she would find a way to make counseling work.

Lohan was in court for a stand progress report and was acknowledged to be in good standing.

At the hearing, Lohan was also warned that she must complete all her community service by year's end. She recently completed 35 days of house arrest after pleading no contest to a theft misdemeanor.

Lohan will be on probation for the next three years and is due back in court in October.

This young man has lived and done more then 99% of people get to do in their entire lives. He has a huge fan base and the book will fly of the shelves. Seems odd to us that someone so young would write however. We are used to the older stars like Elizabeth Talylor and George Burns, Lauren Becall and the like writing a book not a 15 year old. However times have changed and that is what young people are reading now instead of fan magazines.

Add to the list of things that baffle me -- The top story on the 5 o'clock news in Chicago was the controversial call made by fill-in referees at Monday's Seahawks-Packers game. I understand that it's worthy of attention because the station is seen up in northern Illinois and maybe into southwest Wisconsin, where there are Packers fans. But the subsequent story was about a missing Northwestern University student and the third one was about a sad drive-by shooting. There has been a lot of violence in Chicago this year. I just don't think the referee's call was as important as those other two stories.

I agree. Sports takes too much precedence over other things that are more important sometimes. Penn State Football gets way more attention than I think it deserves.

Okay - this might be more "bemused" than baffled ... I got an email this week touting the "new color" from a cookware brand: Truffle. "Truly rustic, truly elegant."

Um, folks, it is just a dull mud pie brown. Dunno what's new, exciting or noteworthy about brown! Mud, elegant?

Baffling?

I'v ebeen cooking since I was old enough to see over the stove. One of the first "real" recipes we learned as kids was Macaroni and cheese.

It's a simple recipe, and starts with a white sauce base for the cheese sauce.

I have NEVER in my memory had the sauce fail.

I've been teaching MJ how to cook, and we made scalloped potatoes the other day for dinner. The sauce curdled, which is a first for me, but I wrote it off as maybe MJ did something wrong.

Nope.

We were making macaroni and cheese, poured the white sauce over the cheese to mix, and it separated! I've NEVER had that happen.

I just sent Weis markets an email informing them that I will no longer purchase anything with the Weis label on it, because whatever the heck was in that jug it certainly wasn't milk.
