Early Risers - Eastern Time Zone. Kroger's ribs were decent (half or so are left), Kroger's egg mustard potato salad the same, and as it was the very small tub, half or so of that is also left. J ate probably 1/3 of the barbecued tofu I made for him, along with a hefty serving of his grandmother's potato salad, which I made from her technique. I had one piece of deviled egg and J had 5. No deviled eggs are left. For dessert, we each had a small serving of "red, white and blue" cherry, apple, and blueberry pie with a scoop of ice cream. Basically it was one of the very small, probably intended for a single serving, pies and we split it.

That sounded better to me than a large pie or cake, or a box of cookies, and I knew we'd eat it all up and not have leftover dessert. Well, there actually is still some ice cream in the freezer, but eating one or two scoops at a time it takes us a while to get through a medium sized tub of it, and there was already about half a tub in there so I didn't even buy any ice cream. I'll have one more meal of the barbecue, sans dessert, and J will have at least one more. And he can have several snacks or sides of the remaining potato salad I made.

I always make a fairly big bowl of it because he really enjoys it and it brings back memories of his grandmother. Also, I don't make it too often, so he doesn't get tired of it. That potato salad, and my deviled eggs, are recipes I tend to save for holidays and special occasions so he can usually count on them if he's home for a given holiday, and know that he will have plenty of food to eat.

But first, let’s review the ad itself first. As in past years, Scientology saved money by only buying local- market spots in some areas, which we have been told adds up to about a $1 million cost, rather than airing a 3. Which cities got the ad? We’ll have to judge from the Twitter reactions.

But in the past, Scientology leader David Miscavige has aired the ads in cities where his local members have put up the cash to open an “Ideal Org” as a way to punish those cities that haven’t yet ponied up for a new church. Do these ads actually help the church recruit new people? Probably not. They’re just too hilariously bizarre to rope in newbies.

Our experts tell us the ad is really aimed at existing members, to convince them that their donations are being spent to propagate Scientology. OK, so here’s the minute- long version of the 3.
