Thanks! I'll have to go with the first answer, so beans it is. And now I've tomorrow all decided, too, yay.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My evening will consist of naps and marinades.
Just recalled something funny I wanted to share: my mother discovered edamame for the first time the other day. Asked me if I'd ever had it, raves about it. "Uh, yeah. You know it's soybeans, right?" She starts laughing. See, my uncle, her little brother, is a soybean farmer. For at least the last 30 years. And I doubt they've ever served edamame.
I'll be finishing my sister's wedding present tonight! Another hour or two of cross-stitching, and the three-month project will be complete, or will be after I get it dry-cleaned and framed.
My cat will be happy--ever since I started working on it, she seems to be much more interested in leaping on me and demanding petting while I've got the project in front of my face. Thing is, since I'm concentrating on the piece, I have no clue she's in leap mode until she lands on me and announces her presence with a hearty "Meow!"
Last night, she jumped on top of the TV for the first time. She'd been planning this move for a while, which is why I moved the breakables there to an untouchable shelf. She looked so pleased with herself when she finally was able to sit on the cable box, but was definitely nervous when it came time to dismount.
OMG, I am seriously unable to do any work today. Partly I can't concentrate, partly no one will get back to me, partly I don't want to start anything big before my VACATION!!!!!
You know what's confusing? PBS has a mystery series also called Jericho. (Well, I suppose it's actually a British mystery series. . . still confusing.)
Are there any Chicago-istas (or anyone planning to be in town around July 4th) who are Edward Gorey fans? Gorey Stories will be playing at the Theatre on the Lake that week!
They're also doing Side by Side by Sondheim at the end of the month. For only $17.50, so I'm definitely considering going to see it.

Heh. I realized that a few months ago, thinking all "I'm glad I live now, when I can have things like edamame, and not eat like my grandparents..." And then I realized my grandfather grew soybeans.
