Also - FNL: I can't believe that Tami doesn't have even one female friend that she can call in an emergency.
Not one?
Jayne: You wanna go, little man? Wash: Only if it's someplace with candlelight.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Dude, I want lori to come to my house with her saw! GF was just complaining about how she had to do all the "man" chores around the house. I tell her we should hire someone but she doesn't want to and I certainly can't do the "man" chores.
Please forgive if I make no sense. For, lo, I am drunk on Boston Cream Pie martinis and waiting to drunk!Test our database when it (finally) comes back online after the office move!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I, um, plan and premeasure and label and date and freeze and make up a schedule and then decide to just do something easy instead and find the nicely premeasured and dated frozen stuff when I have to clean out the freezer after the next big power outage.
I am Amych.
I also tend to plan and premeasure and label and date and then realize on the day of that I've forgotten that one ingredient that needed to be added fresh.
Speaking of which, I have chicken thighs and leeks I need to use up. I should do something with chicken and leeks tonight.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Last night I was walking home, I saw a refrigerator that someone was throwing out. The freezer was one solid block of ice -- with a carton of Häagen Dazs sticking out of it.

I have a good number of one-pot soups/stews that I am excited to get back to cooking again, now that it is FINALLY CHILLY YAY!
Black bean soup (add sausage if you're not veggie), chili in several forms, a wonderful vegetarian chili-ish thing with barley and black beans, assorted Indian dishes, a lot of sort of 'creative' things from The Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home that sound a little weird but are actually good. We make a cooking list for the week when we grocery shop, but don't determine days for the cooking; that's the next step, but we aren't that organized. I always pack a lunch, and in winter it's usually leftovers; we don't often end up freezing stuff since there are 4 of us and I eat leftovers for lunch.
My mother has a Costco membership, and when she visits we've bought things like mega sacks of pistachios, olive oil, multi-packs of the kind of pasta sauce we use, Quik, freezable fancy sausages (chicken with feta and spinach, yum!). My rule is to not buy anything we wouldn't ordinarily eat anyway.
