still waiting for the 411 which I expect is fallout from The Big Talk and/or a surprise arranged engagement
Ooohhh - it's a like P-C spoiler. Too bad we don't know how to get ahold of Kiran or we could be whitefonting...
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I can't even.
You know that thing where you zoom around in 45 minutes and do a bunch of the little chore-like things that have been bugging you for days, like get laundry started, vacuum, dishes, clothes put away, sinks cleaned?
No? Me neither. I mean, I want to tap that energy more often rather than do the minimum then go manic, but nooo.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
JSw, took company coming in a few hours on Sunday to get me to do that. And today? Well I am skating on Sunday's progress... Except for the laundry, that is in and happily getting clean.
(Love your tag too...)
Too bad we don't know how to get ahold of Kiran or we could be whitefonting...I missed something. Not shockingly. But I am again intrigued...
eta: I get the Kiran thing. Now I am confused in a totally new way. Ignore this post. I skipped, I deserve the befuddlement that follows.

Cass - I though Kiran is the name of P-C's little brother, but I coul dbe mis-remembering.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
You are correct. Cass, I've been posting about India. There's one last story to tell, and Hec and Nonian want spoilers.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Cooking question: I'm looking at a recipe (flourless chocolate cake) which calls for "1 1/2 scant cups almonds." What does that "scant" mean?

Oh, I got a haircut too, which I have needed for weeks. I must be ... leaving tomorrow to drive to Michigan and visit Buffistas. Doh! I need to pack too.

The Daily Show is totally my comfort zone these days. That Barbara Walters clip (So, Mister President, shall we begin the torture?") knocked me off the couch.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Hil, for me it means coma and death. Even scant will kill me.
For you, it means "you may have some left over but have that amount there just in case and don't add any extra or you'll weight the thing down."
Or that's how I usually take it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Scant means don't pack 'em in, and don't let the cups heap. Basically, "1 1/2 cups at most."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Oh! If I can ask a quick cooking question:
I really want to make pasta. My marinara sauce has a whole universe of Lutherans in the jar, unfortunately.
Can I just chop up a tomato and throw it in a pan with olive oil and garlic and basil? Will that work to toss on top of pasta? It seems like it would, but I've never made sauce from a raw tomato (as opposed to canned crushed tomatoes).
