What we were supposed to do  

1. Anybody who reads Radley Balko knows this kind of heat happens all the time, but it's just kind of shocking to see Shaquille O'Neal associated with it. That they hired him as the face of the operation and he denied having been there at all doesn't seem to bode well, but at least he has a big smile.

2. For some time now I've been pretty fanatical about making my own salad dressings, but I guess I'm not a "curious cook," since I haven't progressed to ranch and miso carrot ginger dressings (although now I suppose I will). This page isn't bad on vinaigrettes.
