Ooh, mac and cheese is more chewable today. I'll try spaghetti tonight.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Mostly lurking...
Things I would have said, "People like you are why so many b&bs don't allow children. Thanks for that!"

“Not dead yet!”
Things I would have said, "Child Protective Services will be here after breakfast."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Mmm. Just finished cooking my dinner -- lentil cauliflower curry. I hate chopping up cauliflower, but it's really worth it.

I feel all productive. I not only cooked dinner, but within twenty minutes of finishing eating, I had all the cooking utensils and the pot in the dishwasher, the leftovers in Pyrex, and the dishwasher running.
Now I suppose I should make my lunch for tomorrow. Some leftovers, one more vegetable (asparagus? carrots?) and something else. Maybe I'll make cupcakes.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Hil, you are indeed industrious.
As for me, I have that needing-a-shower feeling after listening to my mother go on about Jesus must be coming back soon, her Bible study leader really believes it. If she hadn't used that bit of theology to justify her steadfast refusal to live within her means while married to my stepfather - i.e. "I don't have to worry about running up credit card bills because Jesus will probably come back before it gets too hard to make the minimum payments, and if not, well, God will provide miracles, and see us through bankruptsy" - it would probably make me less nauseated.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
At the restaurant where Mom and I had lunch, there was a poor mother with a sick toddler in her arms and a somewhat cranky younger toddler at her feet. Neither her husband or the grandparents were helping with the kids. I don't think she got more than a bite or two of her Mother's Day dinner.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Hmmph. Somebody should have stolen her away from her family and fed her wine.
We went for a bike ride with some friends. It has been way too long since I have been on a bike. I keep forgetting -- I live in one of those weird little bedroom/ suburban/ sprally cities in CA , right next to a major nesting ground for water fowl. herons and pelicans today. And incredible flowers and hills to see. I need to do this more. It is good for the soul.

I've got cupcakes in the oven. And kind of exploded corn starch all over myself and the kitchen.
