Mediterranean recipe

I made a pastilla last night, because I needed to use up a bunch of phyllo dough, and I found a local grocery store that actually had the Ras El Hanout spice. My pie is not as pretty as this one, and I used a glass dish instead of a cast iron skillet. I also replaced the dates and almonds with mushrooms and thyme. My chicken and mushroom filling came out pretty nice, but the darn phyllo dough was so fragile it constantly tore, so I could not make neat folds. I'm lucky that enough held together to lay in the pie dish and fold over the filling. No more of this phyllo dough. Need to use puff pastry or the like.

Also I've watched the new trailer for CBS's Watson, and it really does look like a rehash of House M.D. It's created by Craig Sweeny of Elementary, and the Wiki at least shows some character names from Doyle's books. I'll have to see if I like the show or if he'll do a shitty turn like making Irene Adler into Moriarty again. I do like Morris Chestnut though, and the show may surprise like Kathy Bates's Matlock. We'll see in January I guess.

Oh I also found a useful app for shopping called Goods Unite Us. It tells you the political contributions of various brands/companies, so you can see percentages of whether they contribute to Democrats or Republicans, or even neither. It helps me choose who I'm boycotting, though I also have other issues like boycotting Israel and palm oil. This is super helpful.
