I beg to differ on that point even though I agree wholeheartedly on every negative point made regarding raisins so far.
The following list is some of the more positive uses of raisins
* Ground with poppy seeds and used in baked goods
* As part of a white wine sauce on chicken - though most find this too sweet and requires a long cooking time
* Golden Raisins in Porridge. What you Americans call oatmeal. They are first soaked then water brought to a boil before adding the meal and cooking.
* Again Golden Raisins but this time used in Stolen. Think of it as the likeable predecessor to fruitcake and cousin to Panettone.
* Panettone

My mother in law makes stollen with marzipan. (I do not like marizipan.)
The best bagels are everything, or all dressed, bagels. The second best is jalepeno cheese.

I am quite fond of how Clinton has slowly learned how to talk to Brun in a way that they both can understand. They do make an interesting pair; it will be interesting to see long term what that means beyond that. I'm not as fond of the triangle that's going on right now with Eliot. I don't think that's going to last much longer no matter what comes of the Brun/Clinton relationship.
Beyond that, a good oatmeal raisn cookle blows away 99% of choclate chip cookies. Nom nom nom :angel:

I'd argue that an okay oatmeal raisin cookie is better than an okay chocolate chip cookie, but a great chocolate chip cookie is better than a great oatmeal raisin cookie. Same applies to cantaloupe vs honeydew - cantaloupe has a smaller delta of quality (can't be as good, but also can't be as bad either); honeydew needs to be great to be worthwhile, but when it's great, it's amazing.

The only time I ever enjoyed getting up early were cases where I could enjoy a cup of coffee outside, under the pre-dawn stars in silence. There's a time I find, usually a little before 6 where everything just seemed still and full of possibilities. For me it was a good time to relax a little and center myself before heading off to work.
