You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

I forgot to take chicken out of the freezer. Crap.

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

Oh, but the good carbs can stand on their own! I admit, yesterday's English muffins were just so I had something to dip into the baked beans, but proper bread may not even need the smidge of butter.

Proper bread should improve whatever's on it, not just bring it conveniently to your mouth. And it should be tasty by itself.

Lite Brite.

Some guy at work I've never had a spoken conversation with struck up email with me because my phone's text message alert is the TARDIS whoosh. And he just kinda harshed on Firefly! Not as serious as Trek!

I'm all pouty now.

Sure. Good carbs CAN stand on their own. But honestly, often the fat makes them taste better.

I'm writing about baby food. I'm floored that the baby food I like to give Noah is like the microbrew of food. To the point where the food company has a tasting room!

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

With babies? In cages?

OK, probably "No" on that second one....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

How many things say "all white meat" on them?

I think that is partially so you don't suspect you are getting beaks and gizzards.

I sometimes think that meat in general is just an excuse for a good sauce. But a good steak (or burger, etc, not necessarily cow) gets me over that idea.

Food Tasting Room at Homemade Baby. It's like the tasting room at New Belgian Brewery. Possibly with barley, but no hops.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

askye...are you going to school in Tally or do you work in Tally?

I'm going to miss being up there this summer. (well, I'll miss my friends up there, not the hot Tally weather!) I'll at least be up there for a visit. I might try to catch a show at FSU this coming semester.

fast switch of topic: lunch today was microwaved Healthy Choice meal. Now I'm eating chocolate covered pretzels...do these count as dinner?

I discovered today that getting fingerprinted for work can be an adventure. The woman in HR was a riot! Too bad my job sucks.

There's nothing like getting fingerprinted for a job that makes you feel like "HUH! Is this work or being charged with a misdemeanor?" But often with my work in schools, it feels a little like both.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I remember getting a few hairs trimmed when starting at Blockbuster for the usual pre-hire drug test.

That was fun.
