Somebody asked me last night what I had found out with my short-lived post from yesterday. ( snipping to avoid traumatizing the menfolk *g* )

I have a spagetti squash. I have only ever cooked it once, and I forgot how, so I looked it up in my copy of "How to Cook Everything." It basically says, "cook until done."

Even better, a Monday where mostly everybody has the day off! ( Read more... )

My brothers are trying to help my mom pick out memorial mass music. So my mom looks up something and says, how does this go? And then they all start singing it. They are _so_ not picking out music for me. I mean, it's all in English ( Read more... )

And it was AWESOME!!!!!! I had to run to the store to get some spices for something else I was making, and noticed they had garam masala for $2.26. I had been meaning to go to Penzey's to try some, but this was less than 1/2 the bridge toll, so I grabbed a bottle.

I wanted to do a page where we could put up pictures, and people could leave comments, and I'm having a hard time figuring out what to do ( Read more... )

OMG, I had the freakiest dream last night. It was Mists Bardic, and we had a HUGE turnout, and then everybody told me that I was supposed to perform something new, even though I *am* the bard, and I'm not competing. They wouldn't even start the competition until I wrote something! And I couldn't come up with ANY IDEAS. Not one. And the damn dream ( Read more... )

So, here's the scoop - while I'm in the middle of attempting to do Trap n' Release on the ferals outside, I get this frantic call from helblonde who found a kitten in their yard and needed a quick rescue. They have a no-pet lease, so C and I let outselves be talked into fostering while we look for a home for said kitten. Turns out she's a girl, ( Read more... )
