Do you have the Buffista cookbook, Susan? I think there are some veg recipes in there!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Hey all, how dangerous would meatless pasta in a butter-based sauce that was left out overnight in 60° temperature be? Hil's advice made for very tasty tortelini, but with the balsamic vinegar I can't tell if it's gone bad or not.

I'd say it's probably OK. The thing that would make me slightly hesitant is the butter, but I think the wine and vinegar might counteract that. (I probably wouldn't eat it, because I'm paranoid about stuff like that, but plenty of saner people probably would.)

Susan, if you want any recipe advice, let me know. (I've got way too many cookbooks and recipes to pick out anything in particular at the moment, but give me a direction, and I'll let you know what I've got.)

No, I don't, but I'd like to have it--is it still available?

I am attempting the cauliflower soup Kat made at tg. So far, it smells good. I'm contemplating the logistics of pureeing it. I've got a blender and handmixer. The volume would require multiple batches in the blender.... I'll probably try the mixer first.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In non-political, non-Super Bowl news, I just did my taxes and am so relieved I had the "right" number of deductions, so I'm getting about $250 back, which is perfect to me. Last year, I had been in school half the year, so got a big refund from the tution credit or whatever, so I wasn't confident I had it right.

OK, I just turned on the game coverage, and they're giving the Walter Payton award, and said, "The late Walter Payton's wife, [I forget]." What happened to the word widow??

I still don't have my W2. Grrrr...

I love soup. Sara, I'd do multiple batches in the blender. Unless the mixer you have is a stick mixer?

K made corn chowder and it's delish. I am such a fun of soup this year. And now that I'm sick, even more so.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I have 12 W2s and 1099s. I should go through my pay stubs to see if that's all of them.

yoiks! Aurelia, that's CRAZY. It must be a nightmare to keep it all straight.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I am also missing tax forms (I think they have until Feb 15 to mail it this year). But I want to file! I've said it before, I'll say it again: Turbo Tax is like being paid to take a test. It is one of the highlights of my year.
