Oof. I think I accidentally managed to hurt my mom's feelings quite badly. I got an invite from my stepmom to go do something that I was quite excited about. I told my mom what I was doing, given that I knew she'd be thrilled I got to do it. I was so wrapped up in that, that I forgot she'd be less than thrilled about who I was going with.
Wait. People? She eats people? 'To Serve Man.' It's 'To Serve Man' all over again.

I think marshmallow fluff on top of sweet potatoes sounds intriguing, but why would it be better than actual marshmallows?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I was gonna say you painted yourself into a corner here
Always. Like the dorkness that I am.
Did you READ my saga with the vegan sour cream? That's supreme dorkness right there.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I did, but that rings more like typical Holiday cooking than dorkness.

The only big difference between frozen fruit and fresh is that the frozen will act "pre-cooked" in terms of texture (since freezing makes the cell walls burst).
I wasn't planning on bringing a dessert at all to Thanksgiving, but apparently I'm supposed to. So it's between gingerbread and an apple crisp.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It's a question of vegetarianness.

Any tips on frozen fruit pies?
It helps to at least partially thaw them in a colander, because sometimes there's extra juice and it makes the filling looser. Once you cook them, they're indistinguishable from fresh, except that you are not suffering from removing all those damn seeds.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I bought stuff for enchiladas and squash soup with the idea that I'd make the soup tonight. That didn't happen due to no-food-or-coffee-until-after-5 induced headache. I did get brownies made to take to work tomorrow though. I may be making the enchiladas and the soup on Thursday, in order to have meals to take to work next week. I never do anything resembling a traditional meal when I'm not visiting family.
I need suggestions on books for 16 and 13 year-old boys. I picked up a Complete Hitchhiker's Guide, but I'm quite certain that both boys have access to their parents' copies. I've previously given the 16 yr old all of the Star Wars books I had and the 13 yr old was thrilled to get Ender's Game for his b'day.

You go to Prime Time On Demand channel, then scroll to FX. I'm not sure how many, or which eps, but they DO have them.
