Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm just tucking in to some beef and broccoli enchiladas, using ATK's quick technique

That's reminded me of the endless (but pleasantly so) chicken somethingvaguelyMexican I'd make out of what was left of roasted chickens.

I was going to go grocery shopping with these ideas, but sitting up informs me otherwise. So I'll order in instead.

Cuisine alert: I recently had Bulgarian for the first time, and that's some nummy food. Puts heart in hearty. Plus whatever it was I last had (with the tender chicken falling off the bone, over rice) was tasty straight out of the fridge, cold. I wish they delivered. But I think I'll continue investigating local pizzerias instead.

Sorry the migraine free-ness has ended, ita. Was this a new ER protocol that produced the good days (ie, could you hope to replicate)?

Crap, I lost the rest of the post. Oh well.

I think so. What remains is my decision--how often do I go in and get blasted fucking silly with so much narcotics that doctors think I'm lying when I tell them the dosages I've had and walked out?

Might be moot, since this past trip it took them three nurses and over half an hour to find a vein that didn't blow or roll as they tried to put in the IV. Apparently the next step is the feet, and I really really don't want that.

But hey, there's a lot I don't want. I just have to prioritise.

Note to CSI writers: many police forces do not allow their people to remove taser barbs from people that have been shot, instead making it a medical procedure. So when Sara does it with her teeth with little indication of discomfort? Oh, who am I kidding? I'm still not sure how she lifted the car off herself.

I don't like that show. I should stop watching.

Any time now.

I just followed an ATK recipe for chicken tortilla soup and now it's too spicey. CRAP.

Yeah, I can see the toughness of that call. It's a stopgap at best, but I'm pleased that you have some prospect of relief when you decide that it's worth the downside.

And I'm with you on csi. Not for exactly the same reasons, but, yeah.

Dump in sour cream and lots of cheese. And serve honey and chips on the side.

Wow. Answering the door hurt my head so much that I don't want to eat the pizza anymore. And I don't have a narcotic in the house I haven't built up a resistance to, so I got nothing in the way of options.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

CSI: and how did what's her name get the car flipped over anyway? At least Sara had the water on her side. Or whatever. Also, would it really be that dusty the day after a big rain storm?

I am currently watching Dirty Sexy Money and LOVING IT.

CSI: Between not knowing what actually happened to Sara and what Grissom was imagining from the evidence, and just get distracted and not paying close attention, I'm really unclear on how any part of the attempted murder or the survival (?) happened. They are dragging out the will-she-pull-though-or-not question, right?
