Here we go again...
Another storm! Ice, snow, sleet, freezing rain, plague of frogs etc will be pelting down from Thursday night until Saturday afternoon. I've already told everyone at work that I'm not going out into that mess on Friday but I get the feeling they're humoring me. People, I mean it, I will never be so committed to my job that I'll risk my neck to reach ( Read more... ) -
Storm's a'comin,' Maw!
Bad ice storm is hitting us on Sunday OR it's just going to be a bit of chilly rain. Who knows? I've decided to join the herd running to the store anyway. I actually do need bread, milk, and eggs! And maybe a few cans of soup. I always give all my canned supplies away to food drives during the holidays so I need to rebuild. Also, the cold/flu ( Read more... ) -
Winter at last...
...and all at once! A blast of wind and a drumming downpour hit my skylight this morning and woke me up. I snuggled down into my warm bed and then my alarm went off, O HELL no. I was an hour and a half late for work just drumming up the courage to get up and leave (plus waiting for the floodwaters to recede) and now I have to go home in a snowstorm ( Read more... ) -
I'm eating elephant balls out of a paint can.
Well, it's an old cookie kit bucket from Wilton's that looks like a paint can and the balls are peanut butter cookie dough dipped in chocolate. WOO HOO! Thanks, Fam! . -
The Chocolate War Continues
I tried melting the Nestle chips in the microwave, using careful and short 30 second bursts because I know what I'm farkin' doing, but that didn't work at all. It congealed into a plastic-smelling brick. I dropped a polite note to Nestle telling them to put a disclaimer on their packaging because it simply doesn't melt. I got back a long letter ( Read more... ) -
BEWARE BAKERS!
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Nestle has changed the formula for its chocolate chips. They claim they’re ‘smoother’ but what they really are is UNMELTABLE. I tried to make fudge yesterday and the damn things withstood a full pot of boiling sugar. I had to keep the pot on the heat to get them to melt even halfway and the fudge was ruined. Came out ( Read more... ) -
RIP Anne Rice
I was 14 when I found and read The Vampire Lestat, the perfect age for it, and I swallowed it whole while heavy metal ballads wailed on my radio. I was less fond of everything else she wrote, though, God knows, I enjoyed reading it.
I think she went off the rails with her later work, and her general wankiness was annoying, but I'll always wave my ( Read more... ) -
Can I make it until Wednesday?
Every nut in the world called today AND we're still missing too many people for work to run smoothly. Everyone chill out, damn.
Meanwhile, I'm still shopping for Thanksgiving. There better be King's Hawaiian rolls at the store! . -
A positive post for a change.
Meaning I'm heavily in denial but onward! I'm making out my Thanksgiving list and I'm good to go. The only 'supply chain' issue I've had is fresh cranberries. Luckily I have half a bag in my freezer left over from last year. Google says they're still good. (You think you'll use 'em in a smoothie but you don't.) I'm getting a long weekend for the ( Read more... )
