THBITW made my day with that wide-open-mouth grin! He made me laugh too!
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Pie is cooling, and I also made a cauliflower and white bean salad with goat cheese, fennel, and chives.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
THBitW is so alert and inquisitive. Smart like his mom, clearly. Lovely pictures, Nilly, thank you so much for sharing them with us.

Story research question for past and present Manhattanites re: garbage collection:
If you live on one of those long narrow blocks, where are your garbage cans? Does someone schlep them to the curb on pickup day? Is there room in the middle of the blocks for garbage trucks?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Connie, what sort of building are you talking about?

Today, in the Tour de France, one of the riders was HIT by a car (carrying a camera). Unreal.

If you need a referral for the machine and/or installer, I can dig up the information tomorrow.
yes, I would appreciate it. I can deal with not having a disposal, but its draining super slow, and I can't deal with that.

Brownstones, primarily.

If it's a big enough building, then the garbage is in the basement. Maybe your building has a garbage chute. Your building's super or porter leaves the garbage out front. If you're in a brownstone, and there is a basement apartment, then the garbage cans are out front, in some sort of rat-proof container. In any case, the garbage is always left on the street in plastic bags, never cans.

Vortex, my landlord gets in after 1 on Mondays. I'll get the plumber's number and model info to you after that.
I was without a working disposer for a couple of months. It was bad for me on a bunch of levels. I found it really hard to cook. I know that is a 1st world problem of the highest order, but eh, it's a thing.
In dinner news, I'm making a shepherd's pie with mashed cauliflower and ground turkey. It features olives, shredded carrots, peppers and much more. It is smelling reeeaaaallly good.
