Oh, cute babies! Grace and Noah are so charming.

I think I'm ready for the giant gothy yard sale. I'll start putting out everything at 1:00, the sale starts at 2:00. Pete is off getting lunch for us right now. Wish me lots of sales!

I not only wish you lots of sales, I wish I could be there, not the least because IIRC we're mostly the same size.

I'm pretty amused by how often my RSS Twitter feed matches up with the LOLCat pictures in this mashup feed:

Ha! According to a friend's LJ, this showed up on a mailing list for local costumers:

There are a lovely group of Greenwood Goths I know having a Yard Sale, with many clothes/costumes and accessories Sunday, August 26th starting at 2 pm (they ARE creatures of the night, after all, and can't be expected to get going until they've have their morning (i.e. 1pm) coffee).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's really funny.

Me too -- I would love to rummage!

I love Noah's hair.

Random question: is there anything you can substitute for Marsala in a recipe? The recipe I'm looking at is a pork and mushroom dealie. I just can't see buying a whole bottle when I want to use a couple of tablespoons.

Hmmm. Maybe a dry sherry?

Isn't rose' (imagine an accent there) good with pork?

Yeah, I don't have that, either. What I have in the house that might be relevant is regular wine, dry vermouth, tawny port (assuming that a bottle would last forever in my fridge), and I think that's it. I guess I could bite the bullet and buy one of these recipe liquors.

Jesse, I'd try the port.
