I'm asking for a toolbox this year.
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

I love office supplies. If someone gave me cool stapler (maybe one of those red swinglines?) and hot post-it notes? Maybe some notebooks?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Label maker! Those are fun and really useful.
You guys, I am making such a good bolognese tonight. Prolly the best pot I ever made up to this point.

I now know what to get for my super-organized SIL (how she puts up with my super-unorganized brother, I don't know. But it isn't an issue. )

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would be psyched to get binder clips, a label maker, or a stapler in my stocking! Too bad I just hung up with my father, who was asking what I want for Christmas.

I love office supplies. I always get happy when I get the big Uline catalog in the mail because I'm a business.
Oooh! How'd you make the bolognese? I need to be able to make a good one.

It's not a traditional bolognese, so I don't know if this is the good bolognese you need. It's more of a heavily tomato-ground beef sauce with sausage.
Slice up one spanish onion and a few garlic cloves and saute in butter in a large enough pot. When onions cook clear, add two pounds ground beef and cook on medium. Chop the beef together with the onion and garlic, but be sure to keep the beef as chunky as possible. At the same time, slice up a pound of Italian sausage and saute in oil. Add salt and pepper to the beef and some fresh chopped basil. When the beef is about halfway cooked, add two-three cans of chopped tomato (I used Del Valle San Marzano peeled tomato this time), one can tomato paste, one or two cans tomato sauce, one can chopped mushrooms (or fresh, it doesn't really matter), dry parsley, dry italian seasoning, a teaspoon of sugar, and the cooked sausage. Simmer on low for an hour; check after an hour and adjust the tomato ratio if necessary-- add paste if too thin, add sauce if too chunky/thick. Simmer another hour and you should be good to go. It makes enough sauce for about 8 servings; I freeze the extra.

TAR: I'll say this for Rob and Kimberly: at least they got over it pretty fast. But YIKES!
