This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I have eaten there ita, but not in years. It is good. We just got take out from Mayura, which is Southern Indian food. Dosa! And the best chicken tikka masala I've had in yonks.

Hey DJ, how does Indian food in India differ from it's US counterpart?

I mostly use my crockpot for steel-cut oats.

I wanted to celebrate my birthday by going out but I feel like crap. So I stopped at the grocery for sushi and a ginger beer and a bag of baked cheese curls. And I have watched last night's Fringe. Not exactly a wild night chez Consuela.

Now I want Indian food, even though I'm kind of full.

Quester, I have a doc of 7-8 favorite slow-cooker recipes I put together for Suzi (I think). Do you want me to send them along?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I use my crock pot for pot roast fairly often.

Ingredients: some beef roast (enough to fit in the cooker with room for other ingredients)

one white or yellow onion

half a bottle of red wine (cab sav, merlot, shiraz—something with a bit of body to it is best)

a bay leaf

a tablespoon of olive oil

a few dashes of salt and pepper

(optional) a few carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, a clove of garlic

Put oil in bottom of slow cooker and turn it on to low. Chop the onion and any other veggies you plan to add. Put them all in the cooker. Add the meat. Add the salt and pepper and bay leaf. Add the wine. Cover and cook on low for 6-9 hours. Remove bay leaf before eating.

Pot roast in the slow cooker is the best. When former housemate and I were still trying the slow cooker out, after a few recipes he very quietly asked: "Can we just have pot roast again?"

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Happy birthday Consuela!

Aroo?

Happy Birthday, Consuela!

Remember when I expressed my uber frustration the other day? I think, maybe, possibly, the issue resolved itself. It will be a few more weeks before I know for sure, but I'm not as tied up in knots (at the moment).

From a report on understudy rehearsal: [Understudy]’s Past is a combination of Cary Grant, David Bowie and Pee Wee Herman.

I think I need to see this.

Suzi, less tied up sounds good. At least in this situation.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yoga was not as transformative as I had hoped. I blame my boobs.

It's the recycled cleavage air.

-t, I made bacon-wrapped scallops tonight! We hosted part of a progressive dinner. They were yummy.

So tired and glad I don't have to leave the house tomorrow. Still not sure if we're going to get that two feet of snow they're calling for.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Happy birthday, Consuela!
