Just in case you guys didn't know: grating a stick of frozen butter into a batch of sourdough is an EXCELLENT idea. My kitchen smells so good right now (mmmm croissant bread).
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

You just made my stomach growl, Jess. Also, I didn't say it on FB, but as for the picture you posted stabby stabby stabby. That is all.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I had to go look to see what picture you were talking about. That was not what I expected! Delightful!

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

For folks not on FB, my husband got me a set of very nice new kitchen knives for my birthday, custom engraved with the names Ilya Rozaknife and Shane Hollanblade. I love them so much.

True to form, Ilya is too tall to fit in our current knifeblock.
