Oh, and my attempt at tomato-ness for my pasta turned out passable, though not as flavorful as I would have liked, though the pasta in question was artichoke-stuffed tortellini, so that provided enough flavor.
Tossing in a little of whatever wine you might have hanging around and/or oregano and/or a chopped up sausage-type meat also helps, if it's on hand. Also, extra cheese on top is always welcome. At least in my experience.
My rule on pasta sauces is (unless you have some amazing ingredients, like really fresh tomatoes & basil, etc.) spice and garlic the hell out of them, but if any of those annoy or bother you (I have friends who can't take too much garlic), so take what I say with a grain of...whatever flavoring you can take it with.
I hope Dave feels better and you bypass the germies, Kristin.
and relieved that they've decided to wait until Mom's over her bronchitis before doing the bypass surgery. I'll be able to see her this weekend
So relieved. Even uncracked like a walnut, this is a good thing. The ~ma, I will keep that heading your way.
My boys got delayed, as mentioned, and I crashed out on the couch. I feel so much better now. Just in time to change from fuzzy slippers to kitten heels. So. Much. Better. Though the dream with the snake that kept trying to bite me? Could have skipped that happily. I have a phobia here...
If I am not back later this evening, kisses and sweet dreams to all the Bitches.
Cash, very glad to hear your mother is going to be getting good care. It's always nice to know that the hospital doing the surgery specializes in it.
Cass, nice to see you, sweetie! Hope you're having fun with the uncles.
Holy Crud
No shit. What city would that be? I'm curious if it was just covered up or somehow sealed off, because if it was sealed off, letting air in may do a lot of damage in very short amount of time.
Belated -ma to your mom, Cashmere.
Good to see you back here, Cass.
I just realized I have no cat food, and I won't be able to buy any more until the vet opens tomorrow, since Perkins gets sick on grocery store stuff. I am a horrible pet owner.
eta: why are there so many posts in Movies? Is it safe to go in?

Oh, it's nothing bad! We're all loving
Groundhog Day
or mocking those who don't, listing favorite Bill Murray roles, and now we're doing Steve Martin. Before all that was movies that were bad that we still adored. All safe, no kerfuffle.
Another new character is Rekha Auntie, a local cook. She's fun and makes me chaa every morning. Not that bloody chai business or whatever it is, but actual chaa.
I don't know why, but this made me laugh.
One other thing... Dear sick people related to/friends with the Bitches - Get better. We want you all healthy and happy. Love, me.
