I read the menu of a Hungarian restaurant in Chicago (Epicurean) and just by reading it I put on weight.
I am not hooked on eating but I do love Hungarian food. And this restaurant's menu comes as close to being in Budapest without ever crossing the ocean, as I can imagine.
I am fluent in the English language but there is something in the way food is described in Hungarian menus that is without match. Somehow I can not get very moved by any menu course description in English. But in Hungarian, momma mia!
It also leaves room for disappointments, since one can get overly expectant than be disappointed once the food is delivered to the table.
But that is life. I still like this menu even if I never eat there.

We went shopping today. It was gorgeous day. The temperature was up to 72 degrees, real summery. Actually, around midday today Spring officially started.
Anyway, it was so weird to still see some snow in the shaded corner of a parking lot. It was left over from the recent snow storm about three weeks ago and it was really dirty. But it was still snow.
At that time so much snow fell that the ski areas in the neighboring mountains are still operating. I don't think there are too many people there since warm weather and wet snow are not a pleasant combination.

There is a race brewing for the post of governor in New York State. The current governor who was formerly the lieutenant governor announced it that he would not run. By the way he is a Democrat. The current Attorney General of New York is expected to announce his candidacy and is expected to win. He is a Democrat, too.
So, there is a very strong Democratic field. The Republicans are trying to gather their troops and come up with some strong opposition. They do have some fairly good candidates but the Attorney General seems unbeatable.
Now, here is the Suffolk County Executive who was elected to that post in 2004 as a Democrat.
This guy decided that he also wanted to run for the office of Governor. But as a Democrat he saw no chance at all.
Then he saw the light and decided that after being a lifelong Democrat now he would be a (I guess temporary) Republican and try to win as such.
Joseph Lieberman, Senator of Connecticut did the same thing. In 2006 he lost the Democratic primary but so badly wanted to get back in the Senate that he ran as a third party candidate and won.
Now he can vote any which way he wants to with no loyalty to any parties. And I am sure there are many more like these in the country but I know only of these two.
I love these turncoat politicians. They are the political prostitutes. They go where the money is without any regard to the people they supposed to represent. Their only interest is themselves and nobody else. They will do anything to get in the driver seat.
After such behaviors we should not be very surprised when they also fail the morality test. Mistresses, children out of wedlock, homosexual relationships and things we don't even know about.
So why are we so upset about some poor professional athlete who happens to have relationships with ten to twelve women?
