Betsy, in your case, I guess it really IS my friend's mantra of "No brain, no pain."
You want to meet the real me now?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am in pre-migraine nerve state myself. Not fun. I think it's less the rain than the air pressure (which often accompanies storms) that does it, but this theory is ENTIRELY pulled from my ass.

Huh.
I was all la, la, free day, let's write, walk the dog, watch some dvds before going out to dinner with a friend.
And then I got an email and remembered that I'm booked all afternoon for a periodic Buffy Marathon that I completely spaced on.
I might have time to walk the dog, but that's about it. Argh.

Robin, air pressure -- or the change thereof -- often triggers migraines for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a cooking question -- I know my bowls and most of my pots are nonreactive. What is reactive? Not plastic, pyrex, glass, ceramics, stainless steel -- what's left?
Also, why are metal mixing bowls so damned popular? The sound of metal on metal aches my teeth. Oxo has a line of plastic bowls that I like, but I could have bought a dozen sets of metal ones in the time it takes to find each of the Oxo three. Not to mention way too few pyrex ones along the way.
I did finally find cake flour. I needed to be in more expensive stores, it seemed. It would have taken forever to find anyway, if I hadn't been told a) box and b) picture of cake. Because that triggers cake mix for me. Still, it's odd to see so much baking sugar, and so little cake flour.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Not plastic, pyrex, glass, ceramics, stainless steel -- what's left?
Aluminum. Cast iron, probably.

Copper. Definitely cast iron - it leaches iron when acid-y things (citrus, tomato) are cooked in it.

Yeah, aluminum is reactive. I have a bigass aluminum pot, but I don't use it much.
I prefer stainless steel mixing bowls: they're not breakable, but they're more solid and clean better than plastic bowls. My electric mixer comes with glass bowls, and I really don't like them.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just got news that a dear friend of mine (who I visited on Sunday) gave birth to a 9lb girl on Tuesday. That's a big girl!

What is even happening?
Still raining down here. What a craptacular day.Sometimes it switches to a mix of snow and freezing rain/sleet/[something that goes tic tic tic on my windows, but looks like snow]
Also, why are metal mixing bowls so damned popular? The sound of metal on metal aches my teeth. Oxo has a line of plastic bowls that I like, but I could have bought a dozen sets of metal ones in the time it takes to find each of the Oxo three. Not to mention way too few pyrex ones along the way.
I think because plastic bowls sometimes seem to retain a greasy feeling (like if you've had say pasta sauce or something in them). The metal just cleans up better (so better for beating *gg whites, etc.).
And then I got an email and remembered that I'm booked all afternoon for a periodic Buffy Marathon that I completely spaced on.
I need 'Suela's booking people to be my booking people. I'm booked for laundry and cooking, and hiding from the snow.
