I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

I make all my omelets with spinach. Which has iron.

can you update your resume now in anticipation for the job whenever it is announced?

I have done, fairly recently, but I need to see the position description in order to make sure I hit all the specifics of it in my resume. And they can't share it with me until it's posted formally.

I really miss the old process, which had essay questions. This is just check-boxes and then tweaking your resume to make sure it contains all the experience called for in the PD. It's actually harder.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, maybe I'll have an omelette for lunch tomorrow. It will be a sub-par preparation, but still delicious. I usually get spinach, onions, black olives, sausage, and feta. I have decided sausage beats ham OR bacon.

Because books.

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

My favorite was cut-up hot dogs in Spaghettios. God, now I want Spaghettios.

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

Yum.

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!

Also yum.

Live large -- add BOTH!!

Edit: Oops. Read to fast. Add ALL!!

Jilli, I'd try making a roux with arrowroot or tapioca or another flour before I gave up on gumbo.

And Consuela, your workplace angers me to no end. I just want you to work some place where they respect you and treat you as a valuable asset. Ideally, you'd still be in a position to hear how your Nemesis fucked it all to hell after you left.

Well, this is the crazy thing: they do. They would not be spending all this money on my contract if they didn't value what I do.

It's just that they're really REALLY bad at hiring, and there was the reorganization, and the division chief who re-programmed my position as something I'm not (and don't qualify for), and the new rules about veteran preferences...

I feel kind of zen about it.

Actually, adding too much stuff is not as good, because of how the cafeteria guy cooks them. I do sometimes take feta AND cheddar, though.

OK, well that qualifies as large living. Carry on.

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

Jilli, I'd try making a roux with arrowroot or tapioca or another flour before I gave up on gumbo.

Yeah, but this means I have to try making a roux. Which is something I've been too wimpy to attempt. I fear the scorching! I am not an attentive or organized cook!
