I miss my straight guy friends from college.

Oh. The wedding this weekend made me realize how much I missed having straight guy friends. All the male friends I have now are almost all the result of them being the male partner of a female friend and who I only really see in the context of that couple. There's only one or two that I have any kind of friendship with away from their wife. Seeing some old male friends this weekend made me realize how much I missed that kind of male companionship.

Did they poll a furry convention???

Fair question.

ION, for the last several years I have been bargain shopping. I go into the grocery store and instead of just buying what I want, I look for what's on sale. This actually turns out to be more fun.

Example: I went into Safeway the other day and cruised the meat aisle (not really intent on buying anything in particular) and they had a ridiculous deal on New York Strip steak (bone in) - a $10 steak for $4. It was so good. I am at the point in my life that I can now cook a steak at home that's better than what I can get at a restaurant.

My other recent super delicious treat is courtesy of megan walker. After she pimped the Haagan Dazs Five Lemon flavor I became addicted. But then I found Trader Joe Meyer Lemon Cookie Thins. So I've been making ice cream sandwiches. Just three tiny ones a night. Soooooo goooood.

Mmmm, lemony.

I am totally willing to be the token straight guy friend for both of you.

DAMMIT! I still can't find HD Five Lemon flavor. I've become obsessed.

My dad and I used to go to this place in our hometown called The Flagpole for ice cream. They did a lemon custard ice cream that taunts my memory with its creamy, lemony goodness.

Oh, those cookie thins are delicious. That's a really good idea. I may have to brave the outdoors for long enough to go the store tomorrow. Er, two stores. Hm.

the someone who was pissy earlier, calmed down, had some tv time, did his wee bit of homework, was lucky enough to have super cool mom play pokemon figures with him for over half an hour, then getting ready for bed had a good cry about missing his NY friends. and he let me comfort him which is not really his norm. poor noodle.

See now, all he had to actually do was punch another dude in the shoulder and talk about a sport...

That's the nice thing about the HD lemon. I'm used to tart lemon sorbets but this is smooooth and creamy. I smoosh it a little until it's manageable and then onto the cookies. Just a little dab and it's so yum.

Yay!

But you're so far away!

Not helping, Hec! *sigh* I've been to five grocery stores and, although some of them are carrying the Five brand, none of them are stocking lemon. Guess I'm going to have to request it.

Does anyone remember a link recently to a NYT profile of an older, female comic book artist? I can't recall her name and I need it.

I see it at Target all the time.
