Hmph. I've baked the pumpkin pie for more than an hour and a half, and let it sit out to firm up at the 60 minute mark and after 90 minutes. It's still liquid in the center. Good thing I said I'd bring a pie or two to this shindig tonight, because it'll definitely be the former. I'll bring a bottle of wine as well and call it good.
I remember once having my roommate's sister arrive at my place at 3AM, very drunk, with two guys in tow, looking for her sister.
A flat mate of mine got so drunk one night that he spent half an hour banging on the neighbors' door, trying to get in. They called the cops, and I got woken up by an annoyed looking police officer asking if the semi-comatose drunk guy belonged to me. My answer was, "No. *extended beat* But he does live here."
"First, it's fast — there's almost no line. That's because they're not looking for liquids, they're not looking at your shoes. They're not looking for everything they look for in North America. They just look at you," said Sela. "Even today with the heightened security in North America, they will check your items to death. But they will never look at you, at how you behave. They will never look into your eyes ... and that's how you figure out the bad guys from the good guys."
Bet you have to pay them more than ten or twelve bucks an hour.
I don't think increasing the feel-up pat-downs necessarily slows down the nakey x-ray line. You probably have different crews doing it. It gums things up for the TSA, but not necessarly for the non-protesting travelers.
Welcome back home, Trudy!
I just bought myself a Kitchen Aid mixer right before the holidays. It was on sale, there's a $50 mail in rebate, and I got $100 in gift cards (for a limited time) for the store I bought it in. So it was a really good deal. Too good to pass up...even if I should be saving all my nickels for Xmas shopping. I am hoping I can get some Xmas presents with my gift cards. Everyone in my fmaily needs pot holders, right?

According to something my mother said she heard somewhere, all the airport security people in Israel are college grads who majored in security. (Not sure how accurate this is -- whether it's actually every security person or just certain jobs.)
Timelies all!
Am in New Orleans. I have had a beignet and a po-boy today. (Not at the same meal)We walked around the Garden District for a bit. Nice weather.
It is lovely weather today. Don't forget to boil water, Sheryl.
Things are actually not terrible, considering? My grandmother doesn't need surgery and was able to stand up in physical therapy today. We're all just so exhausted at this point. At least I fixed the internet.
A beignet, Sheryl? You're seriously falling down on the job.
I'm glad you at least have lovely weather and the internet, Dana. Did you get alcohol?
Still no alcohol! But I've been medicating with food. Gumbo fixes a lot of things.
