You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

What the hell do I make with the rest of this tofu?

I'm serious on this: cut it into slices that are maybe 1/2 inch thick at the most; wrap each slice in plastic wrap; freeze the slices overnight; next day, unwrap the slices and press them between paper towels to get any additional moisture out (the freezing will have removeda good bit of the moisture); then fling the slices in a baking dish, dump BBQ sauce (or any sauce you desire) on top, and bake at 400-ish for 25-30 minutes.

The result has the texture of chicken, and BBQ sauce (which is my only experience with this recipe) has such a strong flavor that that's all you taste. So it's like baked chicken.

There's a restaurant here called Crack Pot. Seems their specialty is crab cakes (ew!) Spokesman is the most grey personality ever.

how do Buffistas feel about the use of "hopefully" as a sentence adverb?

I know it's not right, but I do it anyway.

Lee is me in this. You would think that I, being a Professional Editor of Stuff, would (a) remember that using "hopefully" like that is wrong, and (b) care. I don't. This is what happens when you spend too long editing for the Evil Empire. Grammar? Don't care! Just let the docs validate and check in.

Oh, and msbelle, while I know it's not quite your thing, if you decide Mac needs some custom-designed Gothic Charm School apparel, let me know.

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

now I'm totally sucked into that damn Funny Farm thing

Hee, hee.

Kat, I'm just in a dangerous mood. While that may seem kravlike, it's only a plus if I am doing it in the street. At the centre, someone may very well get hurt.

Friday morning it is.

Quester, I'm not sure I manage money the best, so I can't give advice from my own experience. I've heard great things about Motley Fool. Start with Fool's School. Also have a look at about.com's money section--they have a bit on personal finance.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Oh! thank's for the advice, ita! I'll check them out.

I was kind of ranting. Frustrated. Maybe my shrink will give me new drugs tommorrow. I want one that will overcome lethargy.

Awesome. I have marked your post and will try this. Also, duh, I could learn how to make miso soup, which I love and would totally eat.

And Chaucer in Middle English just makes me feel stupid.

It gets easier as you go along. Of course, now when I look at it, it makes no sense whatsoever! You can always get a modern version to read alongside of the Middle English. .

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

People keep saying that Sue. And i understand what you mean. But seriously? It's all a mystery.

I found when I listen it to it read aloud, I get most of it, if I follow along with the riverside edition. But damn. It's too hard.

Which is why I have a shirt that says, "Chaucer. Because Shakespeare Was Too Easy."

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Has anyone else seen those "guy lives in his car for a week" ads? Does anyone else think they're kind of offensive?

I hate that guy.
