The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I tragically only have ONE bottle of absinthe, currently. Buying more/different types is on my list for when I'm employed again.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I don't understand cooking bacon anywhere but in the same pan you're going to cook the rest of the meal, so you can use bacon grease as the cooking medium.

Because books.

Is it naptime?

The status is NOT quo.

I don't think that was ever the intention, but it is an unfortunate historical allusion.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Like I said, I like the hair. Just, tuck it.

Yeah, if hair-pulling isn't against the rules, it seems like a strategic disadvantage to have it.

You guys, I just made up the most delicious thing, with leftover pumpkin and cream cheese! I didn't want to buy more cream cheese to make a whole cheesecake, but loooove pumpkin cheesecake. I beat it all up with an egg and brown sugar, vanilla, ginger and cinnamon, and baked it. It's like halfway between pudding and cheesecake.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

When my brother brought Absinthe back from Prague we had it the Bohemian way and I got stupid drunk and spilled the absinthe and then we had burning alcohol on the furniture and I just kept laughing and laughing. good times.

Oh yeah, that too -- unless you're a mixed bacon-eating crowd. When I was with friends the other weekend, we cooked the bacon in the oven due to both lack of enough pans and a vegetarian among us.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Two officers involved in the UC Davis pepper spray incident were suspended. Presumably the two doing the pepper spraying though I'm not sure.

What happened to the officer in NYC who sprayed the women in the bullpen area? He lost ten days of vacation.

True confessions -- bacon is often the entirety of what I'm cooking. Sometimes I just want bacon. Well, often I just want bacon; I just don't usually make it.

But I do take your point if there's other food to be cooked.

ETA: That concoction sounds delicious, Jesse.

This is often true for me as well. I live alone, and I don't cook that much. Sometimes I'll make an egg, too.
