I'm listening to The Splendid Table and guess what?
They have truffles in Saudi Arabia!
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

I have this long, thin bruise on the back of my arm. I keep seeing it out of the corner of my eye in mirrors, and thinking, "What the schmutz?"
Getting the bruise involved leaning to counterbalance a giant bag of ice cream, and overcompensating myself into a doorway.
I am somewhat lacking in grace.

Ice cream comes in bags?

When you put the two half-gallons in a grocery bag to haul them from the chest freezer in the garage, it does.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are there not supposed to be truffles in Saudi Arabia?
I'd like it to be known that I'm wearing the prettiest thing in my wardrobe right now--a pink 50s shirtdress with a wide panel of white lace running down the front (modesty is preserved with a pale cream vintage slip). I totally don't have the shoes to do this justice.
Just found out my sister is visiting me next (not this) weekend. With my mother. I'd known about the mother thing a little longer, but it's still a surprise. Which means I'll be shuttling them to tennis, and ditching them for previous social obligations.

Ah.
You have a garage?
It's possible that I have to write a business-related e-mail and am procrastinating.

They have truffles in Saudi Arabia!
And no pigs to hunt for them?

well, truffles are usually found in a forest, growing under a log or something, in the damp. Not much damp in Saudi Arabia. Or forest. Or logs. I mean, the only damp I can think of is man made. Or digging 3 feet into the sand at night.

They only have them when it rains. But they are there.

"embarrassment in not an exemption."
So true.
That said, I did find a memo once, written to a nun, with the sign-off "May the Force be with you." !!!
So funny!
Truffles of the mushroomy kind? I'm guessing chocolate truffles wouldn't be so much of a surprise.
