I try to keep in the freezer something called "Seasoning Mix,"
Hand to god, Tim keeps this in the freezer and doctors up frozen pizza (plain cheese pizza) with it (also chopped broccoli). He is a fierce advocate of seasoning mix.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Steal some of his seasoning mix for the beans, then.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Seasoning Mix sounds like a good shortcut thing for us non-cooks who are trying to feed ourselves.
Brandy tastes dreadful. But it does seem to have medicinal properties. I feel a little better. Or maybe I care less that I feel bad.

I make and freeze batches of mirepoix a couple of times a year whenever I can't keep up with the amount of onion/carrot/celery coming in from the CSA. It's so useful to have in the fridge. (And freezing it helps it soften faster too, so you not only get to skip the chopping, you cut down the initial cook time by a good 5 minutes.)

Brandy tastes dreadful.
Nuh uh!

This is the best babysitting gig I've ever had - the girl has been asleep for the entire 2 and a half hours I've been here and I'm getting so much work done!!
I've set up a completely new tracking system for the coop's maintenance payments in Quicken. Oh yeah, you wish you had my life.

I meant to comment earlier about what a good job y'all are doing raising Matilda. If you could just add "A martini without vermouth is just cold gin" and "Being put into a martini glass doesn't mean it's a martini, anymore than being born in a barn makes something a cow" to her repertory, she'll be prepared for life.
Also, can I tag?

Of course!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was so excited to get this As Seen on TV spice storage solution [link] but now I don't think I have the right place to put it! Bah.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Bostonians, I have a question. I have a memory of attending the Independence Day fireworks at the half shell on the Charles River a couple of decades ago, and remember there being all sorts of cool car boats amidst the regular boats. But my googlefu is failing me on finding more information about them. I keep winding up with duckboat tours. Does anyone know more about these car boats, and if they show up en masse only on the fourth, or are always around?
