omnis, I have never heard of that description before.
Yesterday I thought I was coming down with a cold so I emergen-c and airborned up. Today I feel better, although I should probably airborne again. Yesterday I made a hot bourbon toddy with water, blue agave syrup, vitamin c crystals, and a splash of bourbon.
I got my Michigan License in the mail yesterday.
How crazy is that?
Hec, I am so sorry for your friend. Breast cancer needs to be errradicated. Completely.Soon. NOW.
And yay for -t's house!
IUsNews, Em is at her Aunt J's until tomorrow. She seems to be having a good time, but I misses her. Lots.
Congrats on the new house, -t!
May you have many wonderful years in it filled with laughter, snark, and simple pleasures.
omnis, I had no idea sassafras had a naughty meaning.
Congrats to you and H, -t! My DH and I have to start looking at open houses, etc. I would much prefer that the next old lady I help across the street tell me that she is so grateful she's going to sell me her cute 1920's bungalow that is in mint condition (but with upgraded kitchen and baths) for an amount w/in our price range.
We have had first year students here all week for orientation. Send help.
Congrats on the new house, -t!
oh, yes! I meant to say this! WOO!
I was just watching Alton Brown's Feasting on Asphalt where he was interviewing a dude in Louisiana who pounds on dried sassafrass leaves to make file, which is a cajun/creole flavorant/thickener type of thing.
I had no idea it was a naughty word!
Which took me aback, because I learned Sassafras as another word for the female genitalia (as in "kiss my sassafras").
If I heard it that way I'd assume it was one of those twee rhyming ways of not saying ass. Never have heard it though, except as a tree or an ingredient.

Well, I always wondered what the hell that meant in "Love in an Elevator."
They should make special anti-depressent rescue inhalers for trips to the DMV.
it is the eighth level of hell. it is.
you can't make gumbo without file powder - naughty or not. (I'd never heard that before either)
espresso vodka is (at least as I saw it at DH's 'leaving for new job' party) shots. multiple shots. As in Ben, owner of the Waterfront, saying to my DH 'I can't believe your wife likes scifi, man. And vampires. Have another shot!' though lo - I believe that an espresso martini could be quite good. As are 'dem chocolate martinis.
the eastern shore mac n cheese is good. not as good as at Vonnie's in Chestertown.... but still. I've also heard lately that the lebanese taverna in Harbor East has a good veg menu.
