Had a very productive cooking day. I took the pig's head from the pig roast that I went to, and made a nice stock with the head, carrots, celery, onion, parsley, garlic and bay leaves. I stripped the skin off of the bones, and then fried it until crispy (to use as a crunchy garnish for the soup. I took that out, then strained the stock and then put more onions carrots and celery in the pot with the stock and the split peas.
Is the skull intact? You could put a candle on it. (I was in a haunted house this weekend and have been pondering the convention of skulls as candle holders.)
Maybe he was stalking you, Jilli.
Ahahahaha! Somehow I really doubt that.
One of the strangest photo ops I was part of over the weekend was when the guy in a Venom (I think) costume decided that he and his friend (who was also in some sort of all-black, face-covering costume) needed a photo with me and the guy dressed up as Captain Jack Sparrow.
Ninjas and Pirates are a thing. Ninjas and Pirates and Goths and... Venom, maybe not so much.
What is Type J?
Huh. I just took the online version of the Myers-Briggs, it appears I'm INTJ (mastermind).
There's also the new Type E - entitled.
NO, I did not go talk to him again, because I wanted to let the poor man have his privacy.
He probably spent all weekend thinking, "I'd really like to hang out with Jilli, but I don't want to come across as a crazy fanboy."
I am on prednisone again for my stupid wrist, because the doctor said it was too inflamed for a magic cortisone shot, so I have to take prednisone for a week and come back. Could this be because it took five weeks to get an appointment? Prednisone makes me jumpy, light-headed and kind of queasy. Do not like. Also, the new brace is very itchy.
the new brace is very itchy.
Can you wear something under it? When I had a brace for my wrist, they gave me these really, really thin things to wear under it that were basically arm-warmers (in spirit, if not in practice).
watching "Enron: Smartest Guys In The Room". I was in CA during the rolling blackouts. This, to me, proves why utilities can't be privately held, and the "deregulation" is a blatant example how unbridled Capitalism fails.
Can you wear something under it?
That's an idea. I have some gauze-like tubes used as part of wrapping my right arm. Yes, with the compression sleeve on my right arm for the lymphedema and the black brace on my left arm, I'm pretty conspicuous. I suspect the repetitious movement that brought this on was pulling up my compression sleeve, which I see as further support for the idea that, if there is a god, he's pointing at me and laughing.
Cass, love, see a bloody dr already.
Appointment is in an hour. I've been chastised. Generally deservedly.
Was in a car accident last week and, to be fair, I had no clue I'd been concussed for a few days. If I'd had a time machine, I'd have gone immediately because, even for me, concussions means Really, Go To the Hospital Now.
Other than that, I am just banged up.
Will come back to hopefully report that brains are just spicy and not scrambled later.
