Welcome Back!

At times we here at Lawrence's Chicago-a-Go-Go have written of the eerie and powerful forces what command the cosmic karma of the universe, like the way the ol' iPod frequently knows just the right song to play for that right moment in life, or the way objects levitate and float about our house whilst a voice shouts "Get out!!!" What then to make of today's "mystery of the unexplained" -- not one, but both, of our cars have died of mysterious electrical failure? Could it be me badmouthing the jackass electrician via our website? Could it be squirrels gnawing on cables? Gnomes? Plague? A flood? I swear to God it's not my fault...

But dead they both are. Well, not quite quite dead (full Spamalot musical number follows somewhere...) The Jetta is toast. The Jeep lumbers on, but no speedometer or brakes. Good stuff. Looks like I know where my imaginary Christmas bonus will be going.

To celebrate today, here's a thrifty, frugal and fun January menu from that big damn Enclopedia of food I was talking up yesterday:
Liver Dumplings in Beef Broth
Sun Glow Salad
and (wait for it...)
Coffee!
