Inara ,'Objects In Space'
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, did you see my question about your broken TiVo? Was yours HD?
No, I missed it, sorry. Ours was not HD. In fact our tivo is--was--a bit of a dinosaur. We got it when I was pregnant with Franny. So really, can't be mad at it for pooping out on us finally. I'm just sad about it not taping my tv.
Now I don't feel like making a cake. Bleh. It's not so much that making the cake wouldn't be fun, it's that I'd then have to frost the cake.
Oh wow, I just tried Annie's mac and cheese for the first time, and it is SO much better than regular Kraft. Nom.
So much ~ma for you and your brother and your family, amyth.
Burrell, I have a non-HD TiVo that I'm not using--you're welcome to it. It's not new, and I haven't used it in forever, so I can't swear to its continual behaving. But it might be worth a go.
Allyson, ganache! Chocolate and cream--easiest thing thing in the world.
ER people were very nice today. There's the tech that keeps stopping by and asking about how I'm doing, even though he's never been assigned to me. Then there's the nurse who was the meanest to me ever a few months and made me cry because he was cruel and either lying or not bothering to pay any attention to my file. He was all shoulder-clasping and knee-petting and generally sweet.
The doctor sent a nurse in to give me an IM shot without even seeing me. But for the first time ever, I think when I told her that IM doesn't work, she went away and got me the doctor, who then switched the order to IV.
Sadly, they prescribed 1mg of dilaudid, which is about like a single aspirin to me. When I told her it was too little, she gave it to me anyway, but fetched the doctor he told me that he'd write me for another 4mg.
And the same nurse ordered me a lunch. Apart from the fact that the open faced sandwich was made with Wonder bread and the fruit salad is all melon, it was pretty tasty and nice of her to get it for me.
lcat, where do you live? You can get golden syrup from a place like World Costplus Market, I am told by our British nanny.
I made them with honey because I didn't want to make a special trip. And they were still delicious. Ridiculously buttery.
NOM. And my improvised recipe for shepherds' pie was fab. Consomme makes a great gravy.
I took a sleeve of sugar cookie dough out of the freezer and put it in my back pocket. Then did some planting and stuff. Now I can't find the sleeve. I swear to god, my brain is working funny. How could I possibly lose such a thing?
I watched the Rocky Mountain Roller Girls squeak past the Oly Rollers to win the championship in a nailbiting bout. 146 to 147!
Ganache!!!
I have no cream.
Oh wow, I just tried Annie's mac and cheese for the first time, and it is SO much better than regular Kraft. Nom.
You know, when I was Kraft, it's got to be Kraft. I like good mac and cheese (like almost anything that includes "cheese" in the name!), but the blue box just hits the spot sometimes.
Jesse = Kraft.
Pass it on!
