I'm not sure how I never thought of this before, but I've been having a really bad run of Yahtzee and was wondering what my lowest ever score has been. Probably something a little south of 150. 135 maybe?

The lowest possible Yahtzee score is 5 - you put five 1s in chance and conspire to score 0 in every other box.

But what's the lowest possible score you can get if you are playing in good faith?

If you rolled 1-1-2-2-3 for every roll, then you'd get

1:2
2:4
3:3
4:0
5:0
6:0
Bonus:0
3K:0
4K:0
Full House:0
Small Straight:0
Large Straight:0
Yahtzee:0
Chance:9

I bought some pumpkin seeds in the airport from this fine company and they were quite nice - I like pumpkin seeds a lot, and these were cheaper and less covered in caramel than the other nuts available.

Reading the package I found a dubious health claim: "loaded with Omega 3's, 6's, 9's". Well, that's technically true, but with 47mg of Omega 3 and 5,326mg of Omega 6, the 3/6 ratio is about as awful as it could be.

I saw the world cup match between Mexico and France, and once Mexico scored their first goal I realized that I really wanted France to lose - because there would be a lot of whining.

So if you need to figure out who to root for in a sporting contest, you should always root for the team that, if they win, there will be more whining.

There's the rub (sorry)

We gotta get rid of all that booze we inherited from the Greglins...

The first program you ever wrote was called Hello World

A Masala is a spice blend.

The two masala curries that you typically find on North Indian menus in the US are Chana Masala and Chicken Tikka Masala (the latter is a classic fake ethnic dish, supposedly invented in Glasgow).

Both curries have a pretty similar flavor profile: onion, garlic, chili and ginger; tomato; garam masala, cumin, and turmeric; amchoor powder or lemon juice.

For the tikka masala, the curry is then pureed and mixed with cream before simmering with browned chicken chunks.

Makhani means butter!
