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.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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.

Quality scam!
Happy holidays, Shir!
My potatoes are in the oven. There's cream and butter and cheese involved so I'm hoping that works.
Everybody's here. The champagne is open. The charcuterie board is out.
All is well. [knock wood]

We’ve got pumpkin roasted, a head of cauliflower in the oven, and tempeh in “jerk” marinade (not up to real Caribbean standards, I’m sure) ready for its turn. Should be good.

The outlook seems positive
