Hello, police? . . . Is it Urgent? . . . Yea, it's Urgent, . . .Somebody Just Stole My Pot!

A Hidalgo County man is under arrest after he called police to report that his marijuana had been stolen by two masked gunmen. Yes, you read that right, all 150 pounds of it.

Sheriff Lupe Trevino seemed to question the man's intelligence: "The guy walked right up and said the drugs were his. That's not the smartest move."

The man has been charged with felony possession of marijuana. Because he is an illegal immigrant the man will be held until trial, authorities said.

An Easy to Make Home-made Pizza?

I know I can drone on annoyingly about newspapers other than our own that I enjoy, but the recipe in the NYTimes "Dine In" section of today's NYTimes looks doable, because it addresses the problem I have with home-made pizza, i.e., the dough is like a biscuit. With this recipe you get crispy pizza by cooking it on a frying pan. Why didn't I think of that? I suggest cast iron. Small, crispy, and easy to clean up. What more can you ask for? The complete recipe is at the following site: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/07/dining/07mini.html?ref=todayspaper
