Suzi, that sounds so good! (Even if you don't alive ring the peel.)

Oh, god, that sounds so good. I will have to come visit you for No Rouz some time, it sounds like my kind of holiday.

I am having lamb for dinner, coincidentally, but it is still under the broiler and I am so very hungry. It won't be ready for minutes. Minutes!

That sounds delicious.

Jesse, even then, it still works. If you are the shoe seller, and you have a woman who needs heels, you'd never show her a pair of Nikes.

So in weird My-neighborhood-is-odd stories... I took Grace a couple of blocks away to get iced tea and a treat drink from Coffee Bean. I decided to stop at the grandma shop (no, seriously, this is the storefront: [link] to get a new bra since I couldn't find either of the other two I own and they carry Wacoal and I don't have to struggle to find parking at the mall. So I go to pay and realize I have my purselet but no wallet. ARGH. They set the bras aside and we leave to go back home to get my wallet. I do, however, have enough cash for the drinks, so we go to CB. I run into a coworker there and tell her my stupidity. She then kindly offers to let me use her charge card to buy the bras and then I can pay her back. It's so kind but also, awkward, amirite?

My neighborhood is odd.

Slivering is what I meant. They end up candied with slivered carrots, almonds, and pistachios.

Suzi, could I beg the recipe/preparation instructions from you? Candied orange served at Rena Franklin's restaurant during their Mediterranean round table phase is one of my ur-desserts, and my attempts to duplicate it at home failed miserably.

Oh, for fuck's sake. I hate computers. Trying AGAIN:

msbelle, I'm sorry for the epic of work suck. I hope you find sane bosses soon.

Today was....was. There's a wild snipe hunt in the works, and I'm pretty sure how it ends. It was something I worked on my first year in this position, and I did it right, there's no snipe. So sad, too bad, snipe became mythological at least 2 migrations ago. Failed edit lost the rest of this. But I'm pretty sure the data is lost unless Goddard can cough up the engineering and they...yeah, no. A few gigabytes lost out of over 50 Tb over 20+ years?

Doesn't seem so large, sara. Sorry, though.

I'm heading to bed, but I'll have a resume ready for comments by the weekend. volunteers?

it's not large, just will fuss the mission fussbudgets. (There has been much more data we've declared crap and consigned to a class of data we call PRB for problem. Still save it, just remove it from view.)
