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.
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!!
Woo hoo GC!
DJ, if it's meat perhaps they meant to sear it? Because yeah, then you don't move it for a few minutes so it takes on some color and gets all yummy.
Congratulations GC!
This made me laugh so hard I cried, though possibly only funny if you work with tech people (and clients who don't understand anything about the boxes that live on their desks).
