I know this is nitpicking, but the fat Buddha statue is very much a minor regional one, and the typical statue is thin. At least, proportionally so, given that some are rather large.

I almost pointed that out, but then I thought, "Meh. I can't be arsed to post it while I'm reading the forums on my phone."

Also, Mal made me nachos, so I crawled out of bed to eat them and check out the forums. Oh, and there will be bacon in a minute.

Regional? So you're saying that the fat Buddha is the American Buddha?

While that wasn't what I was saying, it is indeed true that the one usually seen in the U.S. is the fat version.

Just tossed some stuff in the crock pot. Brown rice, potatoes, onions, carrots, a red pepper, some ham, and salt. Cook for 5 hours on high and enjoy.

The potatoes cost me $2.50 for 10 lbs.
The onions: 3 lbs for $1.29.
Carrots: 5 lbs for $2.49. (I usually get a 1-lb bag, but not this time.)
Red pepper: 43 cents for 1.
I'm sure the brown rice cost me no more than 2 bucks for 2 lbs (probably less).
The ham: 99 cents/lb.

I try hard to be frugal.

I make this meal, or slight variations on it (might use chicken instead of ham, or barley instead of brown rice), pretty often, so I generally manage to use up most or all of the produce before it goes bad.

Eggs in a basket. I've been having that alot lately.

I blame V for Vendetta.

In honor of my root canal today, I dined on ramen with copious amounts of tiger sauce.
