cereal: and if you're thinking that describes both me AND the Phoenix suburbs from which I sprung in general, you're not fully wrong.
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?
Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I was gonna demur that you aren't creepy, erika, but then I remembered that the Addams Family theme song says they are so in that sense, I guess we all are
Hey, our vending machine has Chex Mix! Not in 25-lb bags. That would not work well.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm in NJ now, mostly just hanging out and watching the snow. Trying to get some work done -- I need to record a bunch of new calculus videos before the new semester starts.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
It's 79 today in New Orleans.

Our wings are not tired.
Same here as New Orleans, but super windy with big waves out there.

I need to make a correction, Italian Delight is *not* from I Hate to Cook, it’s just something my grandmother (who was not Italian, Grandpa was) made. My mom thinks she clipped the recipe out of a magazine. They ate it very often when mom was a kid. I learned to make it off the index card my mom had copied the recipe to.
It’s a little different from your recipe, dcp. Not sure if that’s because my grandmother’s recipe was different or because my mom changed it before she wrote her copy

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Recipes are just guidelines....
I am fond of the Justin Wilson quote: "What do you put in it? Whatever you got."

Hi, Shir! Same to you.
My dog just scammed a second dinner out of me! I came home about a half hour later than her dinner time, and I fleetingly thought that I should check to see whether Matt had fed her, but I was all, "Nah, his back is hurting, he's sick... he wouldn't have trudged downstairs..."
In fact, he did.
Nice fake out, Birdie; you acted just as over the top excited for your food as usual. Good one.
