This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I'm sorry, I must have blacked out with rage for a second. What were we talking about again?

Cocktails, honey. Cocktails. Don't we like them (when we're not pregnant, that is)? Aren't they tasty? Mmmm, cocktails.

Oooooh, cocktails. I have a neighbor that makes some pretty stellar mocktails, too. (He did a lot of experimenting the first time his wife was pregnant.)

She has multiple recipes that instruct you to buy a premade pie, scoop out the filling, and throw away the crust.

But...but...you already have a pie, why would you want to change it into something else?

I may have to seize the cat.

I do not watch the cooking shows on TV. All my cooking comes from books or the internet.

Before my office's big renovation a few years ago, we had TVs everywhere. Theoretically they were for screening stuff for our clients, but most of the time we just watched the Food Network. We tried to change the channel when Sandra Lee came on, but the thrall of her evil gaze was too horrifying to turn away from.

“Not dead yet!”

Their "we're so in love" schtick really drives me bananas. And they have their little cutesy things that are sick making, like "the spice fairy".

See, I've only watched them once or twice and I didn't get too much of the cutesy bits. I guess I lucked out there. However, don't really think I could take a steady diet of them.

Compassionately intolerant

Spent all day cooking yesterday. Big pot of stew for the dog. Roasted a turkey. And veggies, veggies, veggies.

I pureed about 20 lbs of pumpkin and am now looking for a crustless (read: gluten free) pumpkin cheesecake recipe for Tday.

Oh, and the beets. Got a great deal on absolutely gorgeous beets the other week. I keep thinking I want to find a recipe for them, but they never seem to make it past the cooked, peeled and popped into my mouth stage.

And a really nice dal with carrots and broccoli and black mustard seeds, which I'd never used before. That dish is going to get better as the days pass, I predict.

Oh.

My.

GOD.

REALLY??

And... and... that just sounds NAST.

For the full brunt, you really need to Google "Sandra Lee Kwanzaa cake."

I'd do it myself, but I'm heading out to lunch and don't want to lose my appetite.
