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.
Whoa. Good myth.

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.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
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!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
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."

not your mom's socks.
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.

Now's the time to mention the Boston Cream Pie martini (again), right? Vanilla vodka, Bailey's Irish Cream, Godiva Chocolate Liqueur. Nom, nom, nom!

Yum, I do like me a good chocolate martini.
