Jayne ,'The Message'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
There's a cool documentary called Cheeky Monkeys that shows up on Animal Planet et al -- it's about urban monkeys in Capetown, SA. Not only are they genuinely cleverer than raccoons, they have real opposable thumbs AND they will travel in groups of 10-40. And the monkey 'troops' (correct group name) get into territorial fights.
I'll take a skunk anytime, please.
I am so sorry for your loss, Corwood. I think Tara was right when she said, "It's always sudden."
a co-worker's parents have been evacuated and told their house is burned down now. She is not having a great day.
I didn't want to do it in the same post as condolences...
The Hero of Canton, the Cat they call Jayne....
Yup--the monkeys have too much cultural significance for killing them in cleanup to be an option (and, honestly, can you see that working here?).
Awww, Jayne the cat is adorable.
I want a burger SO BAD but my stomach still doesn't like me.
I'm having chicken walnut salad and Earl Grey tea right now!
Yes, it is FG.
I had some awesome leftovers- I threw together a chicken noodle casserole last night with leftover chicken, pasta, and a bechamel with tons of fresh sage and thyme. put it in a pyrex, sprinkled bread crumbs on top, and stuck it in the oven. Yum!
I was impressed that we didn't eat it all last night- but we restrained ourselves and were rewarded with yummy leftovers.
I can't decide whether I'm annoyed or pleased that there are desserty treats in the kitchen.
I had the buffista recommended mediterranean pasta recipe...yogurt garlic sauce, normally with butter & pine nuts. I was missing the pine nuts, so I substituted wheat germ, which is not as yum, but still fine.
