psa re: bread pans, plus some good old fashioned skiffy sensawunda from the real world

If you are thinking about the Chantal bread pans, as I know some of you are, I can report that they do make very nice bread, but it is essential to the success of the enterprise that you use a non-stick cooking spray (e.g., PAM). Just FYI.

And if you couldn't care less about bread pans, have this COMPLETELY AWESOME PHOTOGRAPH of the ISS and Atlantis transiting the Sun. (Yes, our Sun.) And, as Phil Plait says, the big version is so totally worth the click.

*clicked through on both the bread pan and the ISS/Atlantis photo*

First click: Oh, hey, that's not *nearly* expensive as I thought it would be. Hmmmmmm...

Second click, and then a click to enlarge:

O.O

(Stunning. Thank you for posting that link!)

Bread pans: augh, mustn't buy more stuff before I move!

ISS: I clicked thrice and boggled.

Well, you know, the bread pans will still be there after you move.

(btw, I'm sorry I only got to talk to you for like five seconds at Penguicon.)

No prob! You were in the middle of a conversation.
