Parker's laid-back delivery, which can seem mannered in some roles, is perfect for the shell-shocked Nancy, and the characters are well realized almost down the line. (The exceptions are her egregiously stereotyped black pot suppliers.) Creator-writer Jenji Kohan gives Weeds an arch yet dreamy tone that improves on its two obvious influences. It's Desperate Housewives with nuance, Six Feet Under without the self-seriousness, a pot comedy worth the buzz...
Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS), which co-sponsored the event with the Summer School Program, provided four teams of five students with cutlery, a frying pan, a pot, and ingredients including peppers, potatoes, garlic, and spinach.

The last week of this year's dig produced an extraordinary pottery bird, never before seen in the Pacific, one of three originally on the rim of a pot which contained human bones and was decorated with mouthless human faces. The birds were perched looking into the bowl: "God knows what that means," says Spriggs. Such objects will make priceless museum pieces.
