There was a Buckeye disaster. The peanut butter was way too sweet. This has the advantage of meaning I can eat a part of a buckeye and be all, "okay, way too much." I took the dozen I made, packaged them in boxes and they will be given away.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

Buckeye disaster! Oh, noes!
Damn. Suddenly I'm nostalgic for the midwest. Guess it's a good thing it's the holiday season.
Ooh, which reminds me, Steph, I'll be in your hood next month...Nov. 14th - 18th. Will you be around and not crazy occupied between the moving and the dad and the life and everything? The SO & I would love to see you.

That penguin is made of awesome. The SO has been trying to kick Coke (err, the cola, that is) and has taken to buying seltzer to kick up the Hawaiian juices we've been buying. We recycle the plastic bottles, of course, but it's still a lot of generated waste that doesn't have to be.

Peguin only works with glass bottles, though, and it's way more expensive.
I have a tendency to drop shit, and, well, glass breaks. So no Penguin for me.

I'll be around, and there will be MUCH crazy with the moving and the cleaning and the glayvin, but I have to take a break some time, and there is NO way I would let you come through my hood and NOT see me! We'll hook up, you betcha. I'm guessing The Boy would love to meet you and talk music (he's an erstwhile drummer).

Awesome. I think the SO would like The Boy.

That's the biggest part of why I'm going to get the Seltzer Master 2000 (okay, it's not called that, but I want it to be) -- I recycle my plastic 2-liters, but if I don't have to buy them in the first place, it's so much the better.
And my addiction to fizzy water is really quite impressive.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Jess, are we reading the same blogs? Because just last week I read about the seltzer machine, and since I have an addiction to seltzer (I buy 4-5 two-liter bottles a week), I am SO buying one of those machines.
I think I saw it on Cooking For Engineers. (And yes, I'm at least a week behind. I have 1000+ unread on Google Reader, taunting me.)
The Penguin edition is gorgeous, but way too spendy for me. $80 for the basic one pays for itself in 30 bottles compared to seltzer delivery.
(But we'll probably wait until Eli retires anyway. There's just something about getting it in the old-fashioned glass bottles.)

Yeah, the premium on that penguin is kind of extreme. But the basic one is definitely a deal.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Very pretty.
