So, for those following the Frat Boy Next Door arrest saga, apparently there was a delivery of a "wine-case sized" package from DSL,

What are you meant to do with that? NOT sign for stuff that turns up at your door? What if someone's sending you a lovely present? And then you end up in jail because really someone just sent you a bunch of drugs?

I guess you are supposed to impress on your friends and family that pounds and pounds of pot, while a generous gift, is perhaps not the wisest thing to send through the mail. Hand-delivery by trusted intermediaries might be best if you are considering such a gift to your dear ones.

We had a 19 year old kid who got robbed (of $10K in drug money) here in town. He reported it to the cops and was hauled in to jail because he had outstanding warrants. The found 23 grams of pot during a body cavity search. He claimed it wasn't for sale--just for personal use.

I was relieved he wasn't planning on selling his ass pot.

Glad you got through the accident mostly unscathed, Allyson!

That's, in my book, bad gravy. It might be good sauce, but it's bad gravy. Gravy is meat juice, not meat custard.

I think we have opposite takes on the terminology but identical taste in the actual food. Au jus can be great for beef or turkey (not sure about chicken since I've never roasted one at home), but I draw the line at adding cream or any other thickening agent to the mix.

I was freaking out last night about spending $150 at the grocery store, but then I took stock and realized I had food for 30 non-breakfast meals, a bunch of bananas, a saute pan, and a toilet brush. Sadly I did not have the heavy cream needed for the recipe I bought shrimp for—that's priority #1 on my lunch break.

Heh.

I was relieved he wasn't planning on selling his ass pot.

Yet another reason to be wary of drugs! What does 23 grams look like?

it is becoming apparent that Thursday needs to step up and at least bring something to the door that isn't loud, annoying, or imposing.

Because fielding calls from vendors who would like to ship orders but don't have enough credit card information for DH's friend, who is traveling through various states ordering woodworking equipment and then having it shipped to my house, but not before I relay all of the messages from the vendors? it's a pain in the ass.

I'm on the thick gravy train. But I was raised on the thick, creamy, Southern style, sausage gravy.

And now I want biscuits and gravy.

Ah -- I just found out that a deadline I thought was tomorrow is actually Monday. Not that I'll work on it over the weekend, but it's still nice to have the cushion.

That's slightly less than an ounce, though I'm not sure what volume an ounce of ass-compressed marijuana would take up.
