Ooh, that sounds yumola. You need to get some bones from your butcher to make the beef stock. Or, you know, just buy some.

What brand is good though? I gave up on buying chicken stocks, and really never gave beef stock any thought past Oxo (which isn't OXO).

I should also get a butcher. The guys at the supermarkets here -- they're all more quasi-butcherish than I'm used to from MI, but as a result, I haven't seen any standalone butchers that aren't ethnically targeted.

But then I might find goat.

Who am I kidding? Too many stores, never going to happen.

I can't say I've ever actually bought beef stock, so I dunno. Or if I did, it was probably College Inn, because that's the chicken broth I buy?

I was surprised because EW seemed to think that Mystery would be showing a Dectective Lynley mystery this week.

We have two local PBS stations, and one is showing Miss Marple, and one is showing Lynley.

I couldn't get into the Marple last week, when it was the other station, and I just can't buy the guy they chose as Lynley. Or the woman who plays Helen. The only one I like is the chick who plays Havers.

The Veronica Mars pilot is being rerun on UPN right now, though. Here, at least.

Ooh, in the Fall they're going to have Rupert Everett as Sherlock Holmes. That should be interesting.

my houseguests are gone. Not that I did anything with them or anything, but free house anyway.

I am hungry and that shouldn't be so at 10:30. I had a full lunch and gazpacho for dinner & 3 cookies afterward. whyfor the hungry? what worse is I feel I could eat like a whole pizza or a good portion of a cake.

Rupert Everett as Sherlock Holmes could be very good. I just realized that I have no idea what he's been up to since he was Madonna's baby daddy in that horrible movie.

msbelle, you and Raul are on the same food wavelength. He is hungry again despite having a hearty, late lunch. He wants chicken.

Gazpacho and cookies seems like the kind of thing that would really last, food-wise.

I just ate some Jacques Torres chocolates, and I HIGHLY recommend them. The milk chocolate cinnamon one is the motherfucking bomb.

FYI.

Rupert Everett as Sherlock Holmes could be very good.

Oh yeah, that too. I meant to say that too, but got distracted by the chocolate.

I was just saying to Kat & lori that I'm not sure where my local fire station is, since engines drive both north and south on my street with alarms going.

This time, they were coming west. So I'm totally confused.

You know what sounds like it takes forever? Just about every car accident I've heard. Maybe it's that dream time dilation thingy, but the smashup that just happened (& occasioned the fire trucks) went on and on, despite only two moving cars being involved.

Around here I guess it's equally possible that the Beemer belonged to these kids, as it would be that someone had borrowed it from the 'rents. Either way, ouch. They must have been going very fast, given the length of time they were on the brakes, and the compression of the front of the car. They clipped an elderly couple in a Benz, and then plowed into some parked cars.

Everyone looks mobile. So that's good. Beemer kid is icing his face, but aren't all the cool kids doing that nowadays?
