Spent Saturday afternoon at the movies.    ("X-Men 3" spoilers and comic-book-geek rant behind the cut)

After the movies, I made a supply run to Trader Joe's (after first bumbling into the adjacent  "Trader Joe's World of Wine"   (???) ).      As usual, I found too many nice things.     The wild mushrooms went into a low-carb, reduced-fat meat sauce for angel hair.     The sugar-free chocolate almonds went into the freezer (I don't know why they disappear more slowly when I keep them there, but they do...).    The pesto sauce and other stuff went into storage for now.     Regular groceries from the store near the subway should keep my larder replete for the next several weeks.       I'm experimenting with sausage-like ingredients (adding ground turkey breast to the ground pork to decrease the fat content, trying different spices).      Cutting carbs is more mission critical for me than trimming fat, but budgeting fat calories couldn't possibly hurt.    
 
Why have they never created a character whose mutant power involves cooking?
