[Sca-cooks] Period or no?

>1 what, if i may inquire, is a "Harvard Beet"?

Harvard beets are boiled beets, sliced, diced, or shredded, in a 
sauce made from their cooking liquid, thickened with cornstarch or 
arrowroot, with a little butter swirled in.

>2. the quote under your sig... she said that when?

On July 29th, as per the date stamp.

>  n response to what?

In response to a reporter's question on the possibly deceptive nature 
of the allegedly booming economy of the US as represented by the 
creation of new jobs in cities, which neither equals jobs lost (even 
in gross national numbers), nor the salaries of the jobs lost (in 
spite of the reclassification of fast food workers as manufacturing 
jobs). She said this after trying, unsuccessfully, to put the 
reporter on hold and transfer him to her supervisor's line, leaving 
him on a live line, fully able to hear what she said.

While I don't have the name of the reporter handy, Sheybani has 
never, AFAIK, denied saying it. She later claimed she was joking. Har 
de har har.
