Thanks Perkins and ChiKat! I feel somewhat better (and have decided that I imagined a "look" on his face immediately after I said it). Though I have decided to bookmark it as "use with caution" in my brain.

Hey beth! Good to be seen! Want me to make up something else for you to research to stave off boredom?

My holiday cooking has been made easier by the nice folks at Gelsons. Even so, I just made a couple loaves of pumpkin bread. I decided to modify a banana bread recipe. Since I've never made it before, I hope it turns out.

now I want pumpkin bread. And my shepard's pie/pot pie ( see natter).

I want to know where my mom hid the yeast. I assumed I'd be able to find it by the time the milk was scalded and cooled, but alas, no. Maybe I'll just start the mushrooms in the meantime and hope she calls back.

Check the butter flappy thin in the door of the fridge. That's where my mom hid ours.

I have checked both fridges, and all the cabinets I'm aware of. I suspect the answer will be "Oh right, yeast! That's what I forgot!"

I think it is a playing card thing.

Someone wanna do my quizzes for me?

Holy fucking crap, my evil boss is being such a raving bitca this morning. No, I didn't read your golf ball sized mind and save those documents where you wanted them. Because you NEVER ASKED ME TO. Not once in the last year. Yes, I can save them in your special place in about 15 minutes of work. They are not lost. Please stop using your incredulous voice at my inability to read your fucking mind you skanky country club lazy ass forget-shit-and-blame-me blonde.

In sum, fuck you, you fucking fuck. Go shove some cranberry sauce up your ass-can.
