Edibles twofer

• If you're like me, every so often you go back to the basic 'pasta and tomato sauce' dinner... something I tried tonight that was surprisingly good -- cook some Brussel sprouts with the pasta, and brown up some cubed Spam to add to the sauce.
• In case you didn't know, the Easter candy's out... which means, in my case, the evil that is Cadbury Dark Chocolate Mini-Eggs. Not the gooey pseudo-eggs, although those are okay in small (like once-a-year) quantities, rather the oversized M&M replacements, with "better" (if not "good") solid chocolate innards, in your choice of milk or dark chocolate. Om nom nom nom... :)
