My caramelized onion relish is processing away nicely (except that a tripled recipe somehow only filled *5* jars, which means I have to make more tomorrow), and I am now contemplating dinner.

I have every kind of takeout in the world here. Why can't I make up my mind? It's probably down to either Indian or Thai.

That's from Thanksgiving this year. There's a cute picture of me in that set. I'm a little sausagey in that sweater, but it was cold. But otherwise I like it, which I almost never do, so I'ma post that one too:

My sister, friend Tim, and me in the corner:

Is it just that picture or do you and your sister look awfully alike, brenda? It's a great picture!

I went with Indian. Mostly because I can order it online, and I'm lazy like that.

I prefer ordering almost everything online. Fewer talking with teh people moments.

Which segueways quite imperfectly to my leaving now to go and see people.

Yeah, there's a certain resemblance, to say the least. At a wedding a few weeks ago, someone came up to her and wanted to know why she changed her dress. (i.e., thinking it was one person, two outfits.) Thanks!

Oh, I want Indian so bad right now. That's about the only thing I don't have within a block or two. (It's like eight blocks, she says with horror!)

I had oysters and clam chowder for lunch. (Really fresh, upscale clam chowder.) And chili for dinner. I'm all sated on a cold night in SF.

Cute picture of Brenda!

I'm fiddling with my Evil Eye Cafe playlist. Sort of bizarro cabaret torch songs. Currently playing: "Trust In Me" (the Jungle Book song) by Holly Cole. Very torchy.

We had grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup for dinner. YUMMMMMMM!

My mom is driving me CRAXY right now. Gah!

I've been looking for the Siouxsie and The Banshees cover of that song for years. I've only found a live version that is not *quite* as spooky as the one I remember.
