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 need to install a disposal. Cleaning the drain strainer gets old.
I got the stupid garbage folk today. They ignored my recycling. OK, so I don't have a yellow bucket. But I'm not required to! It just has to be marked recycling. Which mine is. I swear. Morons.
The recipe I was trying to follow was from Fanny Farmer, if memory serves. I tried to sever everything between the head and the thorax (I know I'm getting the terminology wrong) and the thing was leaking fluid all over the place, but it wouldn't stop moving no matter where I ended up sticking the knife. And Colin was just being a bastard, taunting me with my failure to be expeditious. Some gratitude for free lobster. Every time I thought I'd succeeded and it could be prepared for grilling he managed to stimulate it back to waving at us. At least he got trapped holding the next one as it tried to snap at him while I answered the phone. There was a whole lot of shrieking going on.
In the end we boiled them, but we did consider freeing them in the St Laurent first. And then decided that was a fate worse than either death or dismemberment on my kitchen counter.
Sue, thanks for linking that. Very interesting article.
Speaking of being consumed alive...I think Oz is tenderizing me again. Making biscuits on me, followed by licking.
My mother used to chase me with Lobster all the time. But then when I was very weee, I used to love watching her skin rabbits.
I've only had whole lobster once. I was a kid - I got to pick it out of the tank. Then I felt bad for being the agent of its demise once I had it on my plate, and was unable to eat the whole thing. Which made me feel weird, as I agree with ita that if I'm gonna eat some animal I should be OK with its death.
Hmmm... maybe I should go out for lobster some day soon. Usually I go out for crab legs at Cy's Crab Shack (or whatever it's called) on Western just South of Irving Park - any Chicagoistas know other good places for seafood?
What the hell is wrong with people? Some college-age idiots had a table on the sidewalk outside of the post office, plastered with pictures of Obama with a Hitler mustache. I told them they should be ashamed of themselves.
I also wonder if there are regulations about protests outside federal buildings, but I suspect they were just far enough away to get away with it.
oh, I meant to post that I just listened to the podcast for the TAL about bad banks and I freaked OUT when they reported the bit about how the debt of US citizens EQUALS the GDP! And the last time that equation was at 100% was 1929!! Man we have a debt problem like WOAH!
Oh, this is brilliant: A friend of mine has an opening at her company. A coworker just emailed me saying another former coworker was applying, so could I put in a good word? So I email my friend, and she tells me she's seen a resume from a third coworker! Eeeenteresting.
your world, she is small.
do people here know scentsy?
It's mostly funny because I wonder if emailing coworker knows that applying coworker is applying.
