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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Can you put the grill on top of the microwave?

My toaster oven lives on top of my microwave. I hate losing counter space, especially as I have so little of it.

Daisy, that plan looks good.

Living alone, I have a hard time doing a daily meal plan but I shop for staples and meals. If something is not a staple or for something specific, I need to rethink buying it. Even if it's shelf stable because that way lies things that live in the pantry forever and are never used.

When I was cohabitating and we both worked long hours, we'd plan meals a week in advance. Sundays were the farmer's market and then Trader Joe's and then grocery store. It was a nice habit once we got into it. Especially because it meant fresh flowers every week too.

Tracy Morgan Attacked By Shark On "Ellen" (VIDEO)

Tracy Morgan recently appeared on "Ellen" - most likely to promote that awesome Richard Pryor shirt - and his fear of sharks was revealed to a live studio audience. During the interview, Ellen veered the conversation in a "Jaws"-centric direction. It was the perfect set up for the surprise attack.
