Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
PR: I was so hoping it would be Vincent. I think Alison would have made more interesting clothes later. I liked her original idea. Also, I thought Jeffery's dress was better, though I dislike him. LOVE Laura, mostly 'cause she's honest. She's like my mom if mom had style.
Dachshounds are the awesomest animals ever. 'Specially minis. Ozymandias is not the best dog I've ever owned. But he pretty much rocks.

It won't be until next year, and after Mardi Gras, but still. We've decided we can do it for a long weekend for about $600 a person.
I have excellent wine right now. If it weren't for work I'd stay up all night and drink the case. 2001 Pinot from--- Australia I think.

We'll be having an actual Australian over on Monday - billytea.
Can't wait to show you and yours around SF, Daisy.
Should be cool. Vegas was the first time I've ever been on vacation where there wasn't family, or someone I could go crying to if things went badly, and I had an awesome time. Now, I'm ready to tour the country.
Also, there will be a brand new person at your house! Yay y'all. We haven't made a brand new person yet.
PR: I'm not sure her design palette is as limited as people think. Certainly, everything she presents is distinctively HERS, which isn't a bad thing for a designer, but I can't say they've all looked the SAME. But yeah, I quite like Laura. She's got the "New Yorker speaking her mind" thing down pat, and she's hysterical when she's paired up with Michael.
PR: Laura definitely has a "point of view" but I think this dress was the one she's made that's the most like what she always wears, no? I was glad that Uli didn't make a halter dress, speaking of making the same thing all the time.
Crockpot question (it's been a while): I'm making a stew. How much liquid should I use? Cover the ingredients? 2/3? 3/4?
Oh, crockpot.
I thought you said "crackpot" and I was confused because it seemed like a perfectly sensible question.
Which I cannot answer because I don't have a slowcooker and only make stews on the stovetop.
I think for a stew, you'd want the liquid to cover. But I don't own a crockpot, so I have no idea how much evaporation you need to compensate for.
