Yeah, I just heard about that. Crazy.
That's the one, tommyrot. It crashed into a daycare center! But there was no one in there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Glad you're back where there's air, Perkins.
Can you put the grill on top of the microwave?
Der. With the height of my cupboards, I totally can. One more thing for my Costco trip.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Damn, this clock is unavailable and they don't know when it will be in stock: [link]
Here's the first clock that leaves an impression of the time by raising and lowering specific metal pins. Perhaps you remember the classic pin toy that leaves an impression of your hand in pins. This uses the same idea to display time. A precision-engineered mechanism lifts and retracts selected pins to display hours and minutes. It produces a satisfying click sound with every number change-similar to the sound of "flipping" seen at old-fashioned train station arrival and departure boards.
But perhaps it fails the "noise at 3 AM" test....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, good. I'm glad I didn't make a stupid suggestion.

Was that the plane that crashed into somebody's house, killing three people (IIRC)?
The one with the Tesla execs? I just read about it. Took off in the fog and ran into some power lines.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Was that the plane that crashed into somebody's house, killing three people (IIRC)?
Ack! I'd heard it was only the pilot.
Horrible in any case, but more so now.

Yikes.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I can't thank you guys enough. Here's my general plan. I'm thinking of it as a cycle so Monday makes more sense when you see what Saturday and Sunday are.
Monday
Baked goods (leftover)
Salad/no cook
Meal from staple goods + (this means staple plus something bought from store on Sunday)
Tuesday
Quiche or casserole (leftover)
Sandwich & Snack (sandwich with staple + meat if + was meat, otherwise whatever is on hand)
Frozen dinner
Repurposed staple
Wednesday
Cereal/toast & fruit
Slow cooked meal (left over)
Frozen dinner
Thursday
eggs, meat, toast/pancakes
Sandwich
Favorite
Friday
Whatever is left
Whatever is left
Out or grill
Saturday (Shopping Day)
Quiche or casserole
Salad + whatever
New recipe/cuisine
Sunday (Slow cooker day)
Baked breakfast
Sandwich
Slow cooked meal
We are on our own for Breakfasts and Lunches except for Saturday Quiche will be done together. I will do the baked breakfast. Jon will do the Thursday breakfast. I will cook Monday dinner, Jon will do Thursday's and we'll do Saturday's together. Either of us can make the slow cooked meal, and either of us/both can do the Grill when we do it. None of the others has to be cooked. So that means neither of us ends up cooking alone more than 3 or 4 times a week.

That's a good plan, Daisy. It's got a nice mix of stability and flexibility built in.

DJ, I notice you have a slow cooker. Do you want me to send you some recipes? I have some all typed up here at work.
