Pop quiz.
Q: How long does it take to thaw a quart of yogurt that is frozen, not frozen yogurt, in the microwave until it is soft enough to chisel off a small hunk with a spoon?
A: About as long as it takes to boil macaroni noodles in a kitchen devoid of any other suitable milk product to cut the viscosity of the main dish.

Why there is a quart of yogurt-that-is-frozen in the freezer, I may never know. Luckily, the house has plenty of the all-purpose topping, ketchup. Tomato yogurt... There's one Yoplait hasn't attempted. Frankly, if they made Custard Style Key Lime Pie in bigger containers I might invent a new mode of death. ( Refraining from calling it God's Anything. )

I refer to God in the proper tense seldomly. It is less than an acknowledgement when done. Somebody's playing with the clouds tonight, and I think it's the meteorologist. Judging Amy, a television mini-series I assume ( "Mini" by way of my projected long-term interest the nation will have in the show. ) was interrupted by a "Weather Alert" promising plenty of stormy weather headed our way. Then the alert was rudely interrupted by Judging Amy. Not finding the will to live, save some severe thunderstorm action in the near future, nor the will to struggle through menu after menu to find the Weather Channel, I switched to the big screen and waited on the porch for something to happen. Nothing yet, I'll keep you posted.
