Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

(which was also a hilarious mash-up/parody of Junkyard Wars and Iron Chef)

Oh yeah, that was hilarious.

There was a fraternity at my college that cooked up a whole pig on the front lawn every year. That was something else, I tell you what.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yesterday I made turkey meatloaf with the yogurt garlic pasta recipe someone here linked me to yonks ago. I love that pasta beyond what is reasonable. I just had it for lunch and it rocks as a leftover. Even the SO liked it, and he's not a pasta guy.

Anyway, now I'm not hungry, but I still am not very worky. I keep waiting for the big promised storm, but it's just chilly and windy. The huge ponderosa pines really sway in this wind. It's amazing how flexible they are and how far they swing.

Speaking of meatloaf. I have a question: Why on earth are mashed potatoes the "traditional" meatloaf accompaniment? You already have the oven on! Bake those potatoes!

Ditto re: steak and baked potatoes. Why make a quick meal (steak) into a slow one?

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes are both squishy. Baked potatoes and (properly cooked) steak are both firm with a slight hint of crunch. Simple!

I guess.... but meatloaf isn't squishy!

Compared to steak it is. I'm with Matt. It's a soft comfort food issue.

Poor, bon! Maybe if we juggled pizza slices in front of her we could stave off the cancer. Maybe some Cheezmotherapy.

You can eat meatloaf without needing a knife, so it's a bit "squishy" in those terms. I had turkey meatloaf with garlic mashed potatoes last night for dinner, with shredded cabbage and creamed corn (which I poured over the cabbage and ate mixed together--yummy!).

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Guys, I'm getting a little better. I went and got a personal pizza and I ate it where I got it. I literally cannot remember the last time I ate lunch during a workday somewhere else than my desk.
