Hivemind: Has anyone heard of a measurement for butter as a "print of butter?" My co-worker's grandmother had a recipe that called for a print of butter, but she couldn't remember how much that was.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But a day wedding in summer you want something not as heavy-looking on your hands.*
It's a sunset wedding. Does that change the formula?
I'm doing my toes before I leave, because it will last, and my fingernails when I get there, because it won't.
Man, I can't believe I care. But feeding that's what the internet is for, right? Aside from porn, that is.

Congrats to flea and family!
Happy Birthday, Abby!
Me:Hi God, how's tricks up in Primium Mobile?
God:Hi there Matt. I am a Christian.
Me:Cool. Proud of the kiddo, eh?
God:Who is the best robot? Are you Canadian? You think Proud of the kiddo is superior to ALICE?
Me:Marvin is the best robot. I'm a Canadian sympathizer.
God:When is Marvin not the best robot? You are a Canadian sympathizer? Do you get to meet a lot of people?
Me:Quite a few, though not as many as you I'm sure.
God:Somewhat. Oh you don't, do you?

Now tagless for your comfort.
In a family's garden, the cucumbers and cateloupes spontaneously crossed to produce cucoloupes.
Dogs & cats, living together! It'll be ANARCHY!!!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Congrats to the fleas, and welcome to the armadillo among fleas! (Actually, that sounds a little scary.) Welcome, Not!E.Copernicus!
And: Happy birthday, Abby!

Dana, no. IME you've got a least a couple of weeks, if not longer, before there's any reason to hesitate.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm filling out my timesheet. I forgot what days I had Dr. appointments and am unable to figure it out from my work computer. However, I can figure it out from Natter....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

bon bon, et al, the following just arrived in my in-box, courtesy Cook's Illustrated.
Recipe: Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar
This Italian dessert is elegant but very simple. Serve the berries and vinegar as is or with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you don't have light brown sugar on hand, sprinkle the berries with an equal amount of granulated sugar.
Serves 6
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
3 pints fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (small berries can be halved or quartered)
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
Ground black pepper
1. Bring vinegar, granulated sugar, and lemon juice to simmer in small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until syrup is reduced by half (to approximately 3 tablespoons), about 3 minutes. Transfer vinegar syrup to small bowl and cool completely.
2. With spoon, lightly toss berries and brown sugar in large bowl. Let stand until sugar dissolves and berries exude some juice, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour vinegar syrup over berries, add pepper to taste, and toss to combine. Divide berries among individual bowls or goblets and serve immediately.
