Wash ,'Bushwhacked'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Apparently the "There's a War on Christmas" message is coming from the ususal suspects. [link] (Bill O'Reilley, Rush Limbaugh, etc.)
ION, caught a bit of Paul Harvey's mocking of global warming on his noon newscast yesterday. I want to give him a dopeslap and tell him to stick to "The Rest of the Story." Hey Paul, how about "The Rest of the Story" about Global Warming?
My fluffy cat yells at me everytime I step into the kitchen. Silly cat - you've had your breakfast!
Ours do too. Sammi and Harvey will sit at the threshold and stare at me in the kitchen. I suspect this is partly because the wood floor in the dining room is warmer than the linoleum in the kitchen.
The wood floor in my dining room is quite warm -- because it's above the room in the basement where the furnace is.
Ivan prefers the stare to the yell. I think the yelling is actually more bearable. (Generally, I just pick her up and carry her away -- which distracts her.)
Ugh. Drank a bit much last night. We weren't important enough for the big speakerless dinner at the top of the Aon Center so cow-orker and I took ourselves out to Harry Caray's to the tune of $200 between the two of us, on the company dime. That part was fine* (also I have a good 16 oz of leftover rare prime rib in the fridge) but then we went to meet his dad who was photographing the dinner and ended up there waaay too late. Now I'm trying to get myself up and showered to go back. Not quite happening yet. And the dog is making chimpanzee noises at me to try to get me to take her out.
Smart brothers you got, BT.
Canning Bitches -- I want to make strawberry preserves for one of my holiday gifts. Strawberries are woefully out of season. Will frozen work?
Huh. Never tried it, but I don't see why not. Are you doing the cook kind or the freezer kind?
I would think so Jess.
This might be the only online forum where I can bring up this news story, about the "Happy Kitty" massager. (some links not work safe)
Not Hello Kitty, I might add.
Are you doing the cook kind or the freezer kind?
The cook kind. (Since I'm already doing a mango chutney, I don't really want to do another stone fruit thing.)
Hmm -- Alton Brown uses frozen blueberries in his jam recipe. I will take that as a cue that frozen berries will work. Now I just need to find some pectin, since stoopid Freshdirect doesn't carry it.
