Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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.
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.
I have a pair of the lined tights she mentions and they are AWESOME.
Aroo?
I throw 1 cup of steel-cut oats, 4 cups water, some maple syrup & chopped pecans in the pot before I go to bed, and leave the lid just a little bit askew (if you seal it completely the oatmeal is too wet), and put it on low. When I wake up in the morning, yummy steel-cut oatmeal! And then I put the rest in the fridge and eat it the rest of the week.
The down side is cleaning the pot, and usually some of the oatmeal burns on the side of the pot, but it's not too bad.
People are talking in the comments about tights and open-toed shoes. God, no. Even toeless tights--that's still really weird, because WTF? Naked toes? Where did they come from?
Oh hell no.
Now I'm lost staring at velvet wraps. My colour accent was going to be garnet jewelry, but now I'm wondering if black velvet wrap is too much monochrome.
