Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've never started a cream soup from scratch with a roux, though.

I couldn't remember. I take it all back, then!

I don't really have anything to fill an omelet. Out of cheese. No mushrooms to hand. No cooked veggies or meat of any kind lying around.

Do you have any bell peppers or spinach? Those are my preferred omelette fillings (along with blue cheese).

Because books.

So a list of iron-rich foods includes dried beans. Does that mean canned black beans won't be iron-rich, or just less?

Omelette talk makes me think of the best one I ever made, with feta and tomato. It was perfect. I've not made its equal since, sadly.

I do have spinach, but it cries out to be paired with cheese. Mmmm, blue cheese.

I cut up a couple of hot dogs, browned them in butter and then scrambled a couple of eggs in the same pan. Not bad! Though today's vegetable intake is not up to par.

I've never started a cream soup from scratch with a roux, though.

I have! and mac and cheese too.

Jilli, could you use oat flour instead of wheat to start a roux if you were making it yourself?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

They should be the same, at least to the extent that it makes any difference -- I suspect they said dried beans in contrast with green beans.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm pretty sure everything was deliberate and nothing was my fault, bon.

I survived the celebration drinks, and in fact it was both fun and professionally a good idea. I wish I'd felt better and stayed longer, but it was good stuff for me to hear in many ways.

Where the fuck is my appetite, though? Jesus.

Mmmm, I use feta in my favorite too.

I take one thick slice of onion and dice it, then sautee it in butter. Set it aside.

Dice up one slice of good ham. Set it aside.

Start omelet, add feta, add sauteed onions, add diced ham. Soooooo goooood.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oh my gosh, my mom used to make that when we were kids; consequently, it's total comfort food. LOVE.
