Spike ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
when I lived in england, one of our friends' dads was coming to visit and we had him bring pumpkin in his luggage so that we could make pumpkin pie at thanksgiving.
I once brought a friend in Austria cream of mushroom soup so she could make her family tuna casserole like she'd had in America.
And DJ, I got the Hammacher Schlemmer catalogue yesterday. They have an animatronic Elvis bust - sings, moves, etc.

ETA: Alas, it seems the bust is of the other Elvis.

Whenever my brother comes to MA, he brings the family's secret Swedish meatball sauce. My parents found it by accident at this Chicago-area store when they were passing out samples.

Shhhhh...don't tell anyone!

I haven't gotten a chance to look at DED FROM CUTE baby-pics, but I am certain that they are, indeed, DED FROM CUTE.
I spent 1 hr. 20 min. in traffic this morning. And my house smells like campfires in a spooky way. Work, though? Barely anything. Got to love those Pacific breezes over here.
Feeling any better, Kristin?
Here's a nice pictorial thing on how to make fresh pumpkin pie: [link] .

I had my first tutoring session last night, and it went really well. They live in a MANSION in the Palisades. I kept wanting to say inappropriate things like, "Another living room? Really?"

Feeling any better, Kristin?Yes, thanks. I think it's just the crappy air at home.
Mmmmm, pumpkin butter. I've never had it, but it sure sounds good!

HA! I would have paid you five dollars to say it....
Shit, Aims. Like you guys haven't had enough on your plates??? So much ~ma to Joe's mom and to you all.
HA! I would have paid you five dollars to say it....I counted three living rooms and two dining rooms, and I only saw a corner of the house. Seriously.
