Want Inflation Now? [Andrew Stuttaford] For all the good that stimulus packages may or may not do, one of the key features of our current predicament is that the overall level of borrowing, particularly of consumers (and, ahem, governments) remains too high.

Matzo Brei (Fried Matzo)
Although my family and I were the least-Jewish Jews ever (we never were bar- or bat-mitzvah'd, we never kept Passover or fasted during Yom Kippur) one of my favorite dishes from my childhood is a very Jewish dish - Matzo Brei, or Fried Matzo.
