I really hope the DH vetoed that, Erin.

Wow, Erin.
So I'm really impressed with this carpenter I hired. Basement door has had the frame built up, door cut down and rehung. She'll be putting in a new lockset and new security grate tomorrow. She's stripped the framing for the deck door (to figure out how much is salvageable, removed the rotting lintel and cut the replacement wood. And this was all starting from scratch, so involved the shopping and measuring and figuring out. Tomorrow, she'll finish it all up. There is a TABLE SAW IN MY BASEMENT! I find that awesome. What is not awesome for my bank account is I'm looking around my house seeing all the other sorts of projects I could hire her for. I love that she is reusing as much as is possible, not just ripping the whole lot out.

But if not, methinks it's time to educate him that he's not the only one in the household with veto power.

Oh Erin. What has your husband said?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
That's awful, Erin. I hope your husband sees it as such.

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

Yeah--you could totally threaten to withhold sex.

Heh.
My mother found a fab cold summer soup recipe that involved honeydew melon, mint, and pineapple juice. and maybe some creamer to give it some weight.
My mom used to make something like that. You can freeze it in a small container and by lunch time it's all slushy and delish.

ION, I need more foodie friends. I got a line on one of those underground restaurants but I'm not sure any of my local friends will be up for it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm making some corn soup that was originally scheduled for my grandmother, but now I'm afraid I put too much chipotle in for her. Will that flavor fade or intensify with freezing, etc., does anyone know?

Timelies all!
More of the tired here. It didn't help that I got woken up at 4:30 by Gary getting up to use the bathroom. Went back to sleep, but still...
