Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Congrats, Robin!

Oh, my god, I'm making that tomorrow. Thank your mother for me.

I'll be sure to Jen. Guess what I just ate for dinner in lieu of vegetables or an entree? Though the recipe makes slightly more food than my appetite can handle, so I'll have the last misshapen corncake for breakfast.

eta: When you're in a house with a new baby who's struggling with health issues, I'd say that's an appropriate level of neat freakiness, Kat.

So now I am rewashing and then ziplocking all of the sheets, towels, etc. is that anal?

No, but, wow, you must have some really big zip lock bags.

I do! They are 20 gallon bags. They are the awesomest. Not spacesavery per se, but so much cheaper ($1.50 per bag).

Imagine the sandwich I could fit in one of those...

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Good loward, I just spent 20 minutes using my Encyclopedia of college football and google-fu to figure out for drunk cousin K what exactly a "potato smurf" is.

And it is?

A football player from Boisie State.

ETA: They're from Idaho, you see, and their field is blue and called "Smurf Turf" You may file this away in "Trivia I'll probably never need unless my cousin is drunk at a bar with the 2006-07 Ute's schedule posted."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A Smurf made from a potato.

Not to question the recipe, but wouldn't the cornmeal be kind of gritty with only that much liquid and no soaking time? Maybe if you mix in a smurf?
