I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Happy Brithday, ND! And Happy Easter to the Christians & Happy Passover to the Jews. I have a bit of both in me, so in honor of Passover I decided not to make bacon for Easter brunch. I was almost going to make matzo brie (how do you spell that one anyway?) because I love it mucho, but settled on scrambled eggs and hash browns instead.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So I am taunt deprived? That's harsh.

Maybe I should take a nap to recover.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What's matzo brie, exactly?

So I am taunt deprived? That's harsh.

I'm a harsh kinda person. Who thinks she should crack open some of that sweet tamarind goodness. Just as soon as she's done with the coffee, and maybe clears her palate with some ginger ale.

If anyone knows of some good ginger concentrate, so I could futz with making a lower sugar version of the ale, I'd be very grateful for the heads up. I've heard of it, but don't remember the right name, and have been googleblocked.

eta: Cool on Isaac!

Dang he's a big walky boy. His birthday is in, what, 10 days?

Perkins, I have a spare stick blender I could send you. I got 2 for Xmas. It's Braun and basic and new-in-box. Would be happy to.

matzo brie (pronounced like "try") is basically eggs scrambled with crumbled matzo. It sounds random, I know, but it tastes kinda like pan fried noodles.

I've had it where it was more like matzo French toast, too.

He's almost a year. And really, he's just taking a few steps at a time, but he's so proud of himself. He has this big, shit-eating grin every time he stands up and walks. To me it's both happy and sad-making because my tiny little baby is turning into a toddler.
