Candles, especially candles that make you happy, are of the good. I have a kinda thing for having scads of them about but even just one puts me in a better mood. Something primal with the flames maybe, or just fire pretty.
California lemon-butt chicken was christened by DebetEsse. It's just roasted chicken with sage rubbed under the skin and some garlic and halved lemons shoved into the cavity. It is amazing roast chicken but nothing more scandelous. I think it is in the cookbook actually.
Masses of getting the job~ma, Sail!
Cooking is fun. And French food + wine with friends is delicious and fun, though 'spensive and not to be done regularly.
That's all my wine-addled mind has to say right now, because I failed to process the last 20 posts for some reason. Should go to bed.
{{{Cindy and Ben}}} All fingers crossed here, and my most powerful, patented nothing-serious ~ma on its way to you all.
Gentle hairpats and {{{hugs}}} to Susan. Hang in there.
Much job~ma to Sail, who deserves a raise! For more than a year, preferably.
That's all I've got. I feel like I was busy all day long, but there's not a hell of a lot checked off my to-do list, now that I look at it.
I ate sauteed mushrooms today and blame you, Gris. They were delicious though never made it into a fritatta due to the numminess.
I am glad that Cass and Deena have candles to make them happy.
{{{Deena}}} I am sorry about the psoriasis. Good luck with everything.
{{sj}} thanks, sweetie.
I think I'd better head for bed. Tomorrow is going to be a long day.
Yay, Deena hugs! Sleep well. Mwah!
I just want something good to happen.
Mary Balogh!
I'm not counting all the writing contacts I just made as good things yet, because it's entirely possible nothing will come of them. Which is probably a bit paranoid or gloomy of me, but that's kind of the mood I'm in.

This is blame I can accept.
I sauteé mushrooms about one out of ever three days, for one reason or another. Today, i discovered that one of the slightly-further-away-from-me supermarkets packages a mushroom variety pack with baby bellas, shitaakes, and some other non-button mushroom all together. It was an amazing discovery, and is one of the many reasons i'll be walking the extra 6-8 blocks to go to that supermarket again in the future.
My fruit salad and rice pudding look like they turned out great. The frittata LOOKS delicious, but i don't think I put enough salt in as cooking - oh well, can easily add afterwards. I think brunch will be a success, overall.
And now i'm gonna go to bed and dream about it.
mmmm Gris made me hungry....
sending out the of course it is nothing ma ~~ Benward
