Lovely, Suzi! Enjoy the massage afteraffects. Taxes will be there to do later. Unfortunately.
Wesley: Hey. Hey, Gunn. Is something weird going on? … Charles, you just peed on my shoes. Gunn: I'll be damned. That's weird.

[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.

Ugh. I got up a little before 11AM. By 1pm, I had a horrible headache, and laid back down. I just got up and feel very out of it. And I'm SO READY to kill my downstairs neighbor, who has been playing loud thumping bass music for hours on end. I mean, yes, it's the middle of the day on a weekend, but DAMN

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Sigh. The "young Jews aren't Jewish enough!" thing has made it to national mainstream media: [link] I love it how articles like this never recognise all the stuff that younger urban Jews are doing. Just within DC, and of things that I've personally been to, there are two quite large congregations founded and mostly attended by people under 30, and a weekly study group that gets about 30-40 people. And that's just stuff that I've actually attended -- there's a lot more, too. But it's not associated with the traditional synagogues, and thus it's ignored.

I just had the best supper ever: homemade oatmeal pancakes made ever so slightly sweeter than normal, topped with mostly melted frozen mixed berries and cherries mixed with a touch of cardamom and a tiny bit of agave nectar. OMGnomnomnom.

Oatmeal pancakes?
Want!
Is there an easily accessible recipe?

Yep. Except I kind of misspoke. I used oat flour, not oatmeal.
I used the griddlecakes recipe in an ancient Women's Home Companion Cook Book and substituted oat flour for about 2/3 of the flour:
Mix
1 1/2 C flour
3 1/2 t baking powder
3/4 t salt
3 T sugar (I used about 3 1/2 T)
The recipe says to sift the flour and then sift all of the dry ingredients together, but I just poured them in a bowl and stirred.
Add
1 egg (it said well beaten, but I just beat it while mixing)
1 cup milk (I used 1%)
3 T melted butter (it said shortening)
Mix to moisten dry ingredients, but do not beat. Actually, I beat a little bit, because I didn't mix the wet ingredients before adding them. Cook on a hot griddle. The cookbook suggests adding "sirrup". I love old cookbooks!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I am having a foodgasm over here, too. But I didn't make it myself. I'm having Bengan ka Salan (sauteed eggplant in coconut curry sauce) for the first time AIFG! The eggplant is in big chunks and the sauce is just the right amount of hot tempered with sweet.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Foodgasm? I'll tell you about a foodgasm. The local grocery story has huge packages of fresh sugar snap peas for $2. Daniel brought some home, and after rinsing them, we started eating them raw. Oh, so sweet, as good as if we were standing in the middle of the garden picking them ourselves.

OK, can someone wave at me or something? Nothing at all to do with b.org, but I'm looking for proof that I haven't been somehow rendered internet blinvisible. (Like, I've posted several things in several places that usually get a quick response, even on the weekend, but I'm getting an echoing silence, in one case for a full 48 hours.)
