I understand where the not cooking comes from, but it is one of those things that has changed. I love cooking, esp when I can do it the right way - meaning taking time over a day to cook lots of nurturing, wholesome food. It is contemplative, not work. I'm not thinking about god, but if I was religious, it would be part of the process.
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

[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've eaten so much today that I might explode, and tomorrow there will be so much more food. The soup sounds good Hil.

Thanks, Hil, that sounds extremely tasty. I'm gonna try that next time I make some, I think it will be a good variation to have under my belt.

This is the argument my Reform Rabbi used to explain why gardening is the right way for some people to observe the Sabbath.
Using your weaker muscles now means they'll be stronger later, right?

TCG and I just finished coloring eggs and baking peanut butter brownies. We went out today and found my favorite used bookstore is gone. It's a good thing I brought plenty of books with me. Now we're going to watch the Red Sox game and eat brownies as soon as they are cool enough to cut.

Yeah. It's one of the surprising things about ballroom dance - my legs take it fine, but my arms get so tired just from holding the frame. Presumably, if I practice enough they'll get some tone, and that will be nice.
I don't know if that translates to sanding tubs.

Too bad about the bookstore, but yay for everything else. Mmm, brownies.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm watching The Sound of Music. I think the last time I watched this was when I was about 10. "Sixteen Going On Seventeen" was much coyer than I remembered. Just about everything else is way cheesier than I remembered. But still fun.

Brownies - yum!
I just finished doing a Cupcake mask (LUSH). I'm back in a LUSH phase, in case you couldn't tell. The Cupcake mask looks nasty, like dark brown mud, but it smells really good. Now we are going to watch some Prison Break. I love weekends!

Hil, we are watching it here too. We had been watching Eragon, but DH went to the store and asked us to pause the movie while he is gone. I had been ignoring Eragon, but am transfixed by Sound of Music. How do you solve a problem....
