I just made the most awesome scrambled eggs. I watched some cooking show a while ago that had you chop up frozen butter and mix that in with the egg so that it melts in as the eggs cook over very low heat. Total success.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

I'm going to spend way too much time online, I think.
Also, having 2 laptops I'm using for 2 distinct purposes is WEIRD.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

America's Test Kitchen. That was their technique for making French omelettes. Good to know it works! Of course, now I want eggs.

I don't understand this.

I'm pretty peeved that DC is hogging all the snow this year. C'mon, the Northeast can handle it!
Do not taunt happy fun weather.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Meanwhile, we have cold rain. Everyone in my office is very quiet. I suspect many of them are sitting in their cubes, occasionally looking out at the grayness outside, feeling the ennui permeate their souls.
It's possible that I'm projecting.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It sounds like you've been reading the Unhappy Hipsters site too much.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As a MA resident who loves booze,
I'm still shocked that I have a full liquor store inside my supermarket. Last night? I bought milk, english muffins, wine, and Bailey's! It's like I'm in another state.
I don't know how Costco's not worth the membership for ita.
I'm not sure I got my money's worth when I was a member, but if I take the entertainment value into account, I feel OK about it...
DC is getting almost 2 feet this weekend, and NYC is getting 4-6 inches. BOOOO.
And Boston is probably getting nothing, as far as I can tell. Double BOOOO.

ION, I signed up for (and paid for!) a networking thing today that I'm currently bailing on. Stupid oversleeping.

I just let my Costco membership lapse because as a singleton without a car I was dependent on others to take me there and mostly I just bought cat litter. But I'm still thinking of reupping. It was most enjoyable to take others there. One of my coworkers was particularly thrilled by all the giant size things. And you can pretty well make a meal from samples.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I should ask my parents if they still have a membership somewhere. If we combined purchases, I bet it would be worthwhile.
I may need to get a small separate freezer now that I think about it.
