Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[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.
If only you could send the rain here.
Please. I'm not really enjoying the Countdown to Wildfires going on in the hills. Though I guess California would appreciate rain more.
I came to ask a question and got all caught up in Teppy's asshat employers, Kristin's paperwork nightmare, and apparently...a book orgy.
Anyway, I do have a cooking question. How do you sautee something without stirring it? Isn't that just "cook it on the stove in some oil?"
Pretty much.
I always associated sauteeing with "moving food bitsaround really fast in a super hot pan with oil or some liquidy stuff" so I got nothing.
I went to the dentist today for the first time in 5 years. BAd news -- need root canal (I've had one; I ain't afraid, just...$$$) Good new -- I am getting my front teeth fixed on Friday! I ate lemons when I was a kid -- hell, into my 20's sproadically, and the enamel is just GONE, and the edges are all chipped to shit and they are stained because of the MIA enamel. I am very self-concious about them, but thought I would have to get superexpensive work, like veneers, but he can fix them for $315!!! And will let me make payments. I am SO happy about this that I don't even care about the RC.
Also, am applying for adjunct English prof position at local comm coll. No bennies, I think, but better than a fucking kick in the face. I think I might be able to COBRA. Ugh.
I heart the boobs of war. That's all I got right now.
Huh. I need fewer cooking words and more directions like "Turn on stove. Put oil in shallow iron pan. Put meat in oil and leave for 10 minutes."
I used to have William Gibson's collection of short stories (including Johnny Mnemonic and The Belonging Kind, both excellent).
I need a good, but simple cherry pie recipe and I'm wondering what to serve with peanut chicken (if I don't have any rice in the house, but an wonderful, homemade peanut sauce).
We are getting married in Beverly Hills on the morning of August 14. MEEP!
Squee! A date and a place and everything. Yay GC!!
