We have so much for you to pour over in Morning Links that you better pour yourself another cup of coffee:
 

  • Brett Favre! The once-beloved Green Bay Packer got a call from the St. Louis Rams this week. The team is looking for a quarterback. Pay no mind to the fact that Favre is 44 years old and hasn’t played pro football in three years.

  • A University of Iowa teaching assistant – supposedly sending solutions to math problems to students – emailed “inappropriate content” – i.e., nude photos of herself. The incident is now under to review by the university. And students have been asked to delete the email and not pass it on. Hmm.

  • In earth-shattering Fifty Shades of Grey casting news, a new actor has signed on to play Christian Grey. That would be 31-year-old Irishman Jamie Dornan, whose best known acting gig (to Americans, anyway) is playing Sheriff Graham in the TV show “Once Upon a Time.”

  • Mississippi doctors believe they may have put into remission a baby born with the AIDS virus. They treated the child, now age 3, “unusually aggressively,” according to the AP, and the child shows no signs of active infection, despite the fact that treatment ended 18 months ago.

  • Hair discrimination. It’s apparently a “thing.” A former Hooters waitress says she was fired for having blonde highlights in her black hair. What??

Ann Christenson has covered dining for Milwaukee Magazine since 1997. She was raised on a diet of casseroles that started with a pound of ground beef and a can of Campbell's soup. Feel free to share any casserole recipes with her.
