Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

jebus, I just read this incredibly tearjerking human interest story on Boston.com and the tears LITERALLY stung in my eyes. OW! I think it was because I was trying not to cry, because it was so Human Interest Tearjerkery. But damn.

(if you're interested in the story here's the link.)

Trudy, I've brined and fridge-dried. 24 hours I think is optimum for the drying... and ~8 hours for the brining (we do it overnight)

Don't worry about the butterflying, that's sort of a niche technique (though delicious!) but brining is everywhere.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Happy Birthday Jilli!!!

Do you need tips, Trudy? Here's a classic (for me)...

[link]

you can run a search at foodtv.com or epicurious.com and find some different brines... there will be variations on flavoring of the brine, amounts of sugar/salt, etc.

I think last year we just did the one in the Big Book of ATK/CI Best Recipes. I recommend grabbing it from the library for Thanksgiving if you can get your hands on it. [link]

That's just us, though.

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

Hmm... I won't have 24 hours to dry.

I can brine for eight and dry overnight. Is it worth doing if I do it for 12 hours?

squeeeeeee!

I'm so excited.

I have way too much work, both 9-5 and freelance, and I'm SO OVER these cramps, and The Boy's ex is in town this weekend. Glurg.

This is the ex who is the polar opposite of me -- she's this outgoing, really bubbly, friendly extroverted person, and she's all dark curly hair Latina stunning, and she's, like, LEGENDARY and beautiful and everyone loves her. And The Boy lived with her for 4 years and almost married her.

Stressed? Me?

I'm this introverted, socially retarded misanthrope who would much rather read comics or a treatise on the semi-colon, for god's sake, than go be all bubbly and bouncy and effusive in a crowd of hundreds. And I'm, y'know, blonde and bland and pale and chubby fat and I'm cranky and difficult and make it really hard for people to even get to know me, much less love me, and I have huge issues that make me an emotional minefield.

So this should be quite the weekend.
