this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I love hot edamame

I used to think the idea of cold edamame was NAST, until last summer when it was about 1,000 degrees out. I made some edamame, refrigerated it, and -- yummy cold snack!

I'm sort of amused by the jihading dogs, although that must be not much fun for Teppy.

Actually, all I can hear in my head is Eddie Izzard, saying, "Fucking jihad on you, man!"

Now tagless for your comfort.

I need to seek this out, as well. Liv loves sugar snap peas so she may very well take to edamame very well. Owen probably won't because he's on a year-long veggie strike.

my soup's main ingredients are chili beans, half & half and fritos.

I stand corrected. Although, half & half isn't even real cream, so, depending on the amount, that might not be too bad.

And you could substitute homemade tortillas chips for a similar crunch. Although I realize that might take the family comfort food element out of it.

I'm an idiot, and I'm going to kill my mom. Jilli-fonted (and others that don't want to read about bugs)

I have a moth infestation in my cedar trunk (go figure). My mom told me to pick up a box of moth balls, so I did, and this morning I dumped a bunch in the trunk. Mom thought the trunk would be sealed enough that the fumes wouldn't leak, etc. My asthma was pretty bad right afterwards, but I opened the windows then headed out for the day. The asthma got better while I was out. Then I got home, and now the asthma is bad. I'd take the trunk outside, but, well it's heavy and it's supposed to rain tonight.

Any advice? I really can't afford another flare-up. I just got over the last one. I feel like such an idiot.

Mothballs are bad. Can you hold your breath long enough to put the mothballs in a plastic bag and put them outside? Then you could put some kind of plastic, like a big garbage bag, over the chest.

Trunk has been moved to the back hallway for now. Tomorrow morning I'll put it on my balcony...after it's rained.

Also, mom feels really badly. She said she never thought about that.

Indeed. And my TV overheated or something so I'm just trying to figure out how to respond to somebody on Match.com. Exciting night!
