Oh my god, beth. Can I come for dinner?
As much as I reminded myself the other night that I am a good cook? Tonight, not so much. I ate a veggie hot dog. It wasn't dinner so much as nostalgia.
My heart expands / 'tis grown a bulge in't / inspired by / your beauty effulgent.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Beth, that sounds like a fabulous dinner. I am getting better with cooking, but I still avoid cooking with meat. I love eating meat, I don't mind cooking with ground meat, but I hate having to actually handle raw meat.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
sj - gloves, the disposable ones. but, honestly, the store cut the meat, so touching was very little. and while I would call me a hands on cook - ground meat usually requires more handleing.
One of the interesting things is that my neighborhood considers Matt the cook in the family. That is because Matt can orcestrate big dinners for 40 plus people. Only a few people know that we have two cooks in the family.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oh dear. It's just started raining here, and it looks like it's not stopping anytime soon. Wallybee is out in it, she doesn't have a car and her work takes her all over the city, often on bicycle. And there's not really anything I can do to help but be sympathetic.
Meanwhile, had lunch with one of my brothers, and another brother's ex-girlfriend. Certainly made for some interesting conversation.

You're right, I need to invest in some gloves. Although, once we are living together, I think I will make Dave cook chicken once a week. He is a pretty good cook too. For me ground meat requires very little handling, because it is usually headed right into a tomato sauce, so it goes into the pan from the container. No touching required.

Beth just got cuter.
(hug Matt for me)
So, how are y'all?

Particularly splendid, Trudes me ol' china. Except I have a soggy sweetheart, and I'm powerless to do anything about it!

Good point! I'll get right on that. How are you, meanwhile?

I'm pretty good myself, actually. Work is going well. And stuff.
