I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

This is the first time I've tried making stew without browning the meat, because this particular recipe is a non-browning recipe. We'll see how it goes. My previous stews have been in dutch ovens rather than crockpots, but I've got a crockpot and no dutch oven at the moment.

Trudy, step away. They never lead to anything good.

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

They're worse than ita's links!

I make stew in the crockpot all of the time. sometimes I will brown the meat and sautee the onions the night before and then throw it all together in the morning. but, I've not browned plenty of times and it's just fine.

It certainly smells good.

Trudy, you will have to go to Salon Letter Readers Anonymous. I fear you are powerless over salon letters and they are making your life unmanageable.

Sox, sounds like pinkeye. At least, when Mal had it those were his symptoms. Including the really gross parts.

Crappy week. Want it over NOW.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

So glad tomorrow is Friday! Not only is it the end of the week, one of my former students is in town and is coming to the school for a visit at the end of the day. I think we are going to go for a late lunch/early dinner, too.

I can't wait!!!!! (please excuse the shameless overuse of the exclamation point)
