I went to the grocery store tonight to get a few things. I got cream so I could make scones, cheese for mac and cheese. I already had wine :)

It's nice to have a neighborhood store where people know you and say hi and remember the last time you were in.

I love that, Vortex. My hardware store remembered that last time I was in, they forgot to ring up my discount, and so gave me 50% off. It saved me lot more than I would've originally.

meara, I know you've got plenty of folks up here, but if you get stuck, I have a spare room!

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

I so don't have stores like that--well, one pharmacist knows my name to look stuff up without asking me. It's so not the same thing.

Bought new shoes. Now I need to find a shoemaker, since I buy character shoes and need them soled for the real world. There must be one near the office. There's one of everything near the office. I used to work in the same building as one. That was handy.

Must also cook that damned chicken today. Should use the yoghurt too. Indian food here I come. And Leverage in half an hour. Whee!

I am roasting chicken right now AIFG! A modified Julia Child recipe with butter, sage, and Meyer lemons (thanks java!) stuffed underneath the skin.

And Leverage in half an hour. Whee!

I miss my East Coast Leverage feed.

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

MORE snow predicted for the weekend. Dang groundhog.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

One of the 7-11 guys likes me, and now remembers what I smoke. I always appreciate that. He also strikes up a little conversation, which I appreciate less.

I think that I will walk to work on Friday, that way I don't have to deal with the car if it snows like it's threatening.

It's restaurant week here too. (Though it's 11 days long.)

Went for supper at a nice restaurant with some coworkers.

The menu:

Chives Buttermilk Biscuits w. Whipped Butter & Molasses

Chef Craig's Garden Grown Squash Soup w. Maple Balsamic Syrup

our classic organic spinach salad With Goat's Cheese, Maple Spiced Pecans, Pickled Red Onions, and Honey Buttermilk Dressing

Basil Pesto Crusted Chicken Breast With Sweet Williams Chorizo Sausage, Caramelized Red Onion, Spinach, and Tomato Risotto

Dulce De Leche Mousse Torete Warm Chocolate Ganache Sauce, Candied Pecans, and Dulce Fudge

So good! Everything was wonderful, especially the soup and salad courses. The risotto was so rich, I would have been happy with half the amount that was served. I was almost

Unfortunately this was followed soon after by some tummy upset that I think may have been caused by my lunch, not dinner. But def. not a great night to have a four course meal, however delicious.

Because books.

And Leverage in half an hour. Whee!

I'm unreasonably excited.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I don't watch Leverage, have never seen it, and yet I'm laughing at Amy's spoilerfont.

That could be because I'm stoned out of my MIND on drugs in an attempt to get this migraine to go away. I've been getting them so often that I'm thinking I might have to chance it with triptans. Fuck.
