I really need new clothes. Some of my stuff is worn. But the thought of shopping ...eaarhg.

The radio station went off air (or the feed got screwed up) and for the last 10 minutes, it's been thumping once a second. I've been outside and hadn't noticed but after 2 minutes, I had to turn it off. It was making me anxious.

we'll go shopping when you are here. I have a gift for it.

Heh.

When I was in Target, there was a young woman in the pets aisle looking completely and utterly lost. When she saw I was getting catfood, she pounced. "You have a cat?"
"Yeeeesss, two?"
"There are too many choices! I just got this cat and I don't know if she likes chicken or whitefish or salmon and that one just looks gross and they said science something and it isn't here and I can't imagine she's like it and I JUST DON'T KNOW."
"Um, ok. Is it a kitten still?"
"Yeah, still got growing to do."
"Um, ok, I buy this stuff. It's a little more expensive, but I've been feeding my cat this stuff for 10 years and she likes it. Get the kitten kind until she's a year or two or ask the vet.OK?"

She hugged me.

It was rather hilarious. She was so worried about what to feed that cat.

Widsom for the ages from What Not To Wear: Clinton says "Do you want to move forward, or do you want to stay stuck??" and the contributor answers, "BOTH."

sara, I had the exact same thing happen to me in the baby formula aisle once. Except for the part about chicken, whitefish or salmon.

That reminds me of the overheard from the pharmacy today.

"What has more omega-3? Salmon oil or fish oil?"
"You know that salmon is fish, right?"
"Yeah."
t meaningful silence "So which has more omega-3 then?"

Phillies Lose!!!

I'm in search of really simple sauces, for when I'm lazy. Like this one I found suggested for tossing pasta (and which'd work well for when I've bought Buitoni or some other fresh pasta):

WHITE WINE SAUCE
1/3 cup dry white wine (I used a Pinot Grigio)
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp salt

Or this to drizzle over grilled pork chops:

1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Any simple suggestions?

The bottom one is hard to go wrong with.

Another good one? (no measurements, sorry) combine one chipotle, lime juice, pepper, salt, sugar, and cilantro. Good with shrimp

For seafood, white wine + butter + parsley, maybe either garlic or garlic powder.
