My ex-the-doctor and I decided all of these type recipes fell into the category of Cooking With Soup, which by our reckoning was one of the few universal constants defining the American working class (from which we both sprang).

DH and I have talked about throwing an Iron Chef White Trash party, theme ingredient cream of mushroom soup or maybe velveeta.

I love my invisible friends, but without meatspace I'd go insane. Krav is marvellous, because it's like a rotating buffet of people. Some familiar, some becoming more familiar, some fading away -- the amount of interaction over a three year period has been amazing.

Of course, I also like going to places where I don't know people, so there's that.

All that, and yet still a misanthrope. It's a balancing act.

How do you get to Charles River Plaza?

Regular route: walk out of North Station, take a right, walk up to Cambridge Street and take another right. Walk two blocks and it's right there set back from the street (there's a brand new shiny building where the parking garagette for the Plaza used to be). It's kitty corner from a CVS.

Sneaky way. Same directions, but take a right on the street just before Cambridge Street (you'll pass a bunch of mailboxes on one side). Walk down to the elbow of that street, and there's an alley way/walkway that comes out between the Whole Foods and the CVS.

I'm not 100% that sneaky route still works after all the construction, but when I passed by there on the other side of Cambridge street yesterday, it looked like the Whole Foods was open and that that walkway was still accessible.

Popping in to say thank you to Deena for making the Bitchlist a reality.

Calli, I'm so happy for you. I'll still keep fingers and toes crossed for your mother.

What's the best way to clean makeup brushes? Specifially, a foundation brush?

Yep. Sorry, just thought that was assumed.

one more question: you take a right, and keep going straight? I usually take a right and then jig left to go where the parking lot entrance is to catch the EZRide shuttle.

(sorry to bore the thread, I'm just trying to picture it in my head!)

I run sooper hot water through it and then cleanse it with either my face wash or hand soap.

I always use a little baby shampoo and water, then let it air dry overnight.
