This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

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

Is it too late to ask what people are doing this weekend?

Tech.

Tonight, laundry and X-Files.

ElderGoth reunion concert tonight (whoo, Peter Murphy!), writing and going out dancing tomorrow, mild panic about packing to go on a business trip on Sunday. Then on Monday I fly to exotic Ottawa.

Date with my TiVo tonight, tons of meetings, and writing.

I wonder what I should make for dinner. I am kind of tempted to make more of those cracktastically good potato wedges.

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

Jilli, there's an awful truth I fear I must tell you.

I am kind of tempted to make more of those cracktastically good potato wedges.

You've reminded me that I'd settled on a great breakfast potato recipe that was part ganked from some website part yanked from my head that I can no longer reconstruct because I lost the link. So I might as well start again from scratch. My main issue is that I have no microwave, so I need to make sure that the wedges are totally cooked through without being overcooked or boiled or fried.

I seem to recall that recipe boiling small red potatoes for 10-15 minutes before slicing them and frying them up with the tomatoes & peppers &c, but that didn't cook them consistently through enough.

Suggestions?

ATK the other day fried them in the pan until they got nice and golden, and then covered the pan and let them cook through that way.

Documentary about gays in the military in ten minutes (the theater is a block away). Then two stepping. Dinner somewhere in there.

Tomorrow, not sure in the daytime. Must CLEAN at some point, my house is heinous. Evening, some kind of random fiddle bluegrass concert thing at a place called the...Roadhouse? Tractor Tavern? Some crazy named place. A friend got the tickets.

No plans for Sunday. I"m hoping brunch, one of those days, with friends.

At what point did they put in the peppers and the other stuffs? Let me go hit up their web site.

You mean my co-workers have LIED to me, and it isn't exotic and exciting? Well crap.

Maybe it was for your own protection. I probably shouldn't have said anything. I'm so sorry.

The weather is going to be awful and warm too, isn't it? Hmmph.
