*nod* And they even write coding languages, if the tools don't exist to
do what they want. James codes in probably a dozen languages, including
two or three he wrote himself.

Go, you!

ObFood: Today, we're eating leftovers. In the fridge, we have leftover:

Chicken alphabet soup (2 quarts)
Chorizo and eggs
Chocolate fudge
Bratwurst
Chicken salad with grapes
Angel hair pasta with peas

And probably something I'm not thinking of. Normally, I don't cook
enough food to have leftovers, but this past week, I've been cooking in
big batches. Especially the chicken, because I cancelled a dinner party
after the chicken was already thawed.
