I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Husband on the phone figured out that I could rip them using my mother's computer, and I have 4GB worth of space on memory sticks with me. I think that will be the easiest solution.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good news, ita !!
Good solution, Dana!
I am making Italian wedding soup from a Stonewall Kitchen mix. A mix which started with me making 70 meatballs. So mostly a spice mix. But it smells delicious!

I can't decide if I should put in all of the pasta and escarole now, or save it and put it in fresh when I reheat. Because clearly I'm not eating it all right now.

Ooh, I just got a plan -- I am going to put just half in now and then when I freeze some, put the escarole and pasta in the freezer raw, so when I reheat it later, it won't be too overdone.

Man, I'm exhausted and the day isn't done.
All I did was get up early and spend 6 hours at a dog show! What's my problem?
The puppy did great: she won her class, so the breeder & my sister are very happy. However we were not allowed anywhere near her before she went into the ring, because she loves me so much that she becomes uncontrollably distracted. Afterwards, though, she got lots of loving and snuggles (and I am now covered with golden retriever hair).
Sad/happy story: the breeder had, among her pile of goldens, a single pit bull. The story was that her daughter had found a homeless person on the street selling a litter of pit bull puppies which were no more than 10 days old. (!! No puppy should be removed from its mother that soon!) So she bought the puppy for $40 dollars, probably saving it from life as a fighting dog or something, and raised it by hand. So now he thinks he's a golden retriever, and competes in obedience with his foster siblings. And his official name is something like "Forty Dollars to Freedom". He was very sweet.
Anyway, I'm beat. Dog shows are fun but I had to get up too early, and now I have to go out and make dinner for my folks. I'm thinking pasta carbonara, very simple.
Dana--I'm glad you solved your problem.
ita ! -- new car yay!

Irish breakfast tea:
It occurred to me at the dog show that, other than skiing, I have rarely been at a public event that was quite so white. Other than one South Asian couple and one or two Asian families, I saw no one in the (quite large) crowd who wasn't white.
I knew that the dog business was predominantly female, but the whiteness was quite startling for the Bay Area.
I will say that media fandom has nothing on dog fandom for ugly chotchkes and badly-designed t-shirts and jewelry...
