Adventures in Cooking: Pasta Aglio Olio

Spent most of yesterday unconscious and recovering from the last few days. Need to start on work now, though:

1. Finish grading freshman history exams.
2. Start reading "Twilight of the Gods", about the Scopes monkey trial, for American Legal History.
3. Start reading "Rabelais and his World" and write a five-pager on it due Friday for Theory and Practice.
4. Think about pulling together a bibliography for a research paper on Miranda v. Arizona for American Legal History.

In the meantime, I decided to have a change from rice, so I whipped this together quickly this morning. It's probably the most basic pasta sauce you can get, good both on its own or if you serve with side dishes.

There is a lie hidden amongst the following statements. You get to guess which is the fraud.

1. The first man I saw executed as a judge was, coincidentally, the last man I helped convict as a prosecutor.
2. British comic artist Brian Bolland once told me that he thought Neil Gaiman was a bit of a suck-up.
3. Patrick Stewart awarded me first prize in a writing competition at a Star Trek convention.
4. I am on first name terms with the Czech ambassador to Zimbabwe.
5. I am four degrees removed, acting-wise, from Kevin Bacon.
