How much do I love Gloomcookie's shoe posts? Bunches.

Happy Birthday, DebetEsse!!
Lots of hope for healing and coping for Karen. She sounds like a lovely person who improves the planet by being on it.
This must be what going mad feels like.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yes. Yes, he does. In addition to the tattoo, he bought presents for me. I got a wood and brushed silver watch and a wood and silver charm bracelet as well as a silver pill box (I'm making perfume solids so I need pretty pill boxes for them).
Love the flowery shoes GC!
ETA: Yay! New house! Congrats -t!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Okay, I just have to make people jealous (and hungry):
My bro and SiL are in town this week, and last night he cooked us a 5-course Italian meal.
Oh. My. GOD. It is *easily* in the top 5 (maybe top 3) meals EVER.
Since it was 5 courses, all the servings were small, but still — Oh. My. GOD.
Course 1 was a bruschetta made with baby swiss, and shaved white truffles (that they brought back from their honeymoon in Italy), which was topped with golden chanterelle mushrooms sauteed in olive oil with garlic and onions.
People, I really dislike mushrooms, and yet the chanterelle topping blew. me. away. So fucking good.
Course 2 was a caprese with thick slices of mozzarella that were thrown on the grill first and then served with just-picked yellow grape tomatoes and basil.
Course 3 was a chilled peach/buttermilk soup. That's what I said -- peach and buttermilk. Chilled. (My brother told me I was a heathen when I called it a smoothie.) He made it with peaches and buttermilk (obviously), apricot liqueur, nutmeg, and creme fraiche.
Understandably, the serving size was tiny -- maybe half a cup. But it, too, was AMAZING.
Course 4 was gnocchi that my bro made from scratch and served with a bleu cheese cream sauce, and toasted walnuts on top.
Course 5 was a tiny pork tenderloin, grilled with tiny brussels sprouts and fennel; the brussels sprouts were also topped with sea salt.
I dislike brussels sprouts, and yet these were SO good.
My bro is an AMAZING chef. Amazing. And I'm still kinda full.
t edit I should mention that the first 2 courses (roughly) were accompanied by a sauvignon blanc, and the second 2 by a buttery chardonnay, and the pork tenderloin by a big hairy red zinfandel.
I don't think the wines were planned that way; we just went through the bottles pretty quickly.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Your SiL seemes so nice from how you talk about her and yet, I feel the need to kill her and take her place.
