Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

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

So, wait, have they bombed the house yet? Or is it lit up and waiting like a dangerous Christmas decoration?

It's bombed. Burned fine, all the kabooms were neutralized. But I suspect they are very keen to keep people away. Suspect it's lit up and has police guarding it too.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
sear and seal in juices
We do all know that this is a myth, right? Searing just makes the outside tastier (and creates fond if you're doing a pan sauce).
Whether or not you need to add liquid to a slow cooker depends on what you're cooking and how tight a seal the lid is. If it's a second-hand cooker, you'll probably want to add at least as much liquid to qualify as a braise, or wrap the top in foil before you cover it up. Or add veggies that will release moisture as they cook, like carrots or onions.

Burrell, have you ever eaten at the Indian place on Westwood just north of Santa Monica? We should go there some time. It's really good. Plus? Goat.
I LOVE that place. If you're heading south it's on the right, correct? Just south of Ross? Ahbabadala? Or something like that? If you are making plans I'd love to go with you both as K doesn't eat Indian ever. And I miss it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
All this crockpot talk reminds me that I need to investigate the cookbook I bought a few months back(Not Your Mother's Slow-Cooker Cookbook) for interesting recipes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ahbabadala? Or something like that? If you are making plans I'd love to go with you both as K doesn't eat Indian ever. And I miss it.
Aha! You have triggered the name for me--Amhala Dhaba, or something much like that.
If we can fit it in with your pre-Christmas schedule, busy lady, I'd love to.

While I was at the market, Brian raked my leaves. He's SO getting cookies! Swear to god, I love this neighborhood.
My quick trip ended up being two hours because I had to stop to talk to so many people. And then catch up with Brian.

I just had a thought. I'm wearing (currently) a black overbust strapless corset and a gunmetal grey satin ballgown skirt to my cousin's wedding. I had been considering a wrap to wear on top of it indoors, but what about a cape? (I've been reading Jezebel's how to dress for parties without freezing article) I'd have to work out how to actually wear it there, under my winter coat, but it might be kinda cool. I can't decide.
