This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We have started turkey chili in the slow cooker.(which makes twice this winter we've used the slow cooker. whee.)

Oh man. I use my slow cooker 3 or 4 times a week these days, but all for the same thing. I need to branch out.

I bought a head of cauliflower following convos here and commit to roasting it today, just so I can know what y'all are on about.

Mashed cauliflower is really good, but I end up using it as a salt and butter delivery system, so I'm not sure it qualifies as healthy.

Sanding break.

Holy shit that makes a mess.

Time to stuff a chorizo empanada in my face.

Also, even with the swanky industrial vent mask, pretty sure I'm killing brain cells with lead paint dust. I can taste it. Funtimes!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I was wandering around the Santa Cruz bookstore yesterday and decided I needed to find a menu planning idea place called veggies first. I like vegetables , but they sometimes end up never leaving the fridge.

My tj is in a strip mall so parking is ok. I haven't been to the new whole foods yet, for a number of reasons. The local Sprout has an awful parking lot , but I can park in the back -a longer walk , but they put a cart retun in the back so it works

Really, if you can taste it (it's sweet! Don't ask how I know!) you need a respirator.

It may also be a good idea to VENTILATE THE HOUSE WELL because cats are especially prone to get anything in the dust in the house into their systems, because of their self-grooming. (They're notoriously prone to second-hand smoke problems.)

That's all JZ and I had for dinner last night. One head of cauliflower.

BTDT. Except just me. And more than once. And I have a HUGE head of cauliflower in the fridge right now!

I gotta try the roasted broccoli, though.

Also, I don't fry bacon anymore; I bake it, and when I do, I put raw mushrooms around the bacon on the cookie sheet, and sprinkle with pepper. NOM NOM NOM bacon and mushrooms for brekkie, with bacon crumbles to put (later) on salad/soup/pasta!

I'm trying a new recipe later: bowtie pasta with avocado, basil and bacon.

...huh. I'm hungry now!
