ION, Turkey soup!

I'm feeling very economical since I made this soup with just the meat on the carcass plus one wing, so I didn't have to hit up my supply of sandwich making turkey. It's pretty rich since I was boiling that bone-meat for a good long time and added some of the skin (for the fat).

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Am back from the con, and am trying to type around Nova, who is being velcro kitty.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Marathon catching-up-on-Natter session. Whew. Looks like T-day was good for most everyone, so that's good. Family drama was NIL this year, to my utter shock, considering my nieces recently decided they hate each other. They were polite and even had fun. They have agreed to be civil when with family, and that, frankly, is good enough for me. ION, the food was excellent (corn pudding has no right to be that good), and a two-hour trip to my sister's house is WAY better than a nine-hour trip. And I've paid for my two days off by spending the weekend working. Oh well.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Traditional eggs benedict has Canadian bacon. I can't remember what part of the pig it's cut from, but it tastes basically like ham.

Just so long as it isn't cut from Canadians. CANADIAN BACON IS PEOPLE!!!!!

mom = chopped liver today, it seems

Come on now, there's not much better than really gooood chopped liver. If you put some on his bagel he's bound to shape up.

So my question to the hive mind is - brand recs? How much should I expect to pay for a decent pair of recreational skates? I can skate forward pretty well but won't be doing anything fancier than that.

Not a brand rec, but more than one person has told me that if I'm not going to skate fancy schmancy I'm better off with hockey skates than figure skates because they'll be more comfortable.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've seen a number of blogs link to this, so....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

What else does a phone need, really?

What if occasionally, you want to order Thai?

Or does Batman deliver the Thai to you?
