Dana, did you have something else happen there that is not itch related? Any sort of persistent itch reminds me of this [link] article. Not for the faint of heart.
Jinx? If you and Dreg have been using my moisturizer again I'm going to have to rip off your scaly- hey, what's the deal with your face?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I relit the pilot light for my heater! All by myself!
This really is an accomplishment, as it took me and my landlord AND a neighbor last year.

Stop Being a Wuss: How To Make Pie Crusts the Easy Way
Heh. Except that I never put sugar in my pie crust and I use a food processor for cutting in the butter*, this is EXACTLY how I make them.
*Alton Brown tip - add about a third of the butter and process the crap out of it, then add the rest and pulse until you've got the pea-sized lumps that your recipe talks about. This is how to get a perfect balance of flaky & tender without using Crisco. The pulverized butter will be evenly distributed to create tenderness, and the bigger lumps will stay nice and flaky.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hmm. Is it simpler than using Crisco too? I realise I dreamt last night that I bought the ingredients for pie crust. And that I forgot to take my reusable bags into the store, but that's my lame version of anxiety dreaming. But maybe I should see if I have the energy to make apple pie over the weekend.
I have most recently used the Cook's Illustrated recipe which is a lot less asscappy and is more involved, but it makes a brilliant crust every time. Maybe I'll experiment.

Okay, I made it to page 2 of that article and then had to stop. And put away what I had been eating.

I think so, if only because it doesn't involve my remembering to buy Crisco. Butter I always have on hand.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Since I bought Crisco once, I'll now have it forever. Ish.

I got as far as blood on the pillowcase and decided I didn't actually want to know that badly. Page 2? I salute your sticktoitiveness.
