Often the phrase "your tax dollars at work" preceeds some outrageous example of government waste or overspending on some frivilous esoteric program. I don't doubt that outrageous occurances exist, but I say "your tax dollars at work" without sarcasm, maybe because I've worked on so many federal contracts, maybe because I take advantage of what I think are some pretty cool things...
Like recipes. I don't like cooking but I do like recipes, and the National, Heart, Lung & Blood Institute has a new cookbook out.
I'm particularly looking forward to trying the pumpkin pie.
And the National Cancer Institute, as part of the "5 a Day" initiative, has some soup recipes that sound good, too...like turkey soup with sweet potatoes.
(Yeah, I'm ready for Thanksgiving.)
And if you're cooking for a big crowd and you miss the creamed chip beef you had back in the service, the Navy has a searchable recipe repository online. (Dunno about the other branches, but everybody knows that Navy food is better anyway.)
See...cool stuff!
I also love the IRS web page, but that's a topic for another day.
