Eggs are really the perfect food for me. I could eat eggs every day.
They are incredible, and edible...
I like the ruffles.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

BARB!!!!!!!! I am SO HAPPY to see you here! (For those Buffistas who have not yet met Barb, fear not, she will swiftly impress you with her fabulousness and her oh-so-one-of-us-ness.)
Ginger is a most excellent neighbor.
Burrell, Isaac cracks me up. That's priceless.

Cherry Pie
For 9' pie
1 1/3 cups sugar
4 drops almond flavoring
1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
4 cups pitted sour cherries
1 1/2 Tbsp. Butter
Preheat oven to 425
Mix sugar, flour, flavoring and cinnamon together. Mix lightly with cherries. Pour into pie pan. Dot with the butter. Cover with top crust and make slits in it. (Since it's what my sister wants for her birthday, we have been known to cut "Happy Birthday" into the top crust.)
Bake until crust is browned and juice begins to bubble, 35 to 45 minutes. (It tends to bubble over, so foil under the pan is a good thing.)
It's from the '50s Betty Crocker cookbook, which is my mother's One True Cookbook. I have a copy from a thrift store. Mother's will have to be pried from her cold dead fingers. The Betty Crocker website does not have cherry pie. It's all semi-homemade stuff made from mixes. Does that seem right to you?

Ginger is a most excellent neighbor.
She is indeed.
Burrell, Isaac cracks me up. That's priceless.
Thanks, he cracks me up too. Of course, he also drives me crazy so it helps that he can do it with a bit of humor.

Huh. I got robodialled by Danny Glover, who wanted to tell me about the conditions at the Smithfield Pork plant. Complete with background music.

I love that cookbook. When my older sister Liz asked for mom's cookbook collection to add to her own I was all sad that I was going to lose it, but then she told me that she already had a copy so I snagged it.
My current favorite is Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything, but I tend to be a bit fickle. Ask me again in 6 months and I bet the answer will have changed.

Barb is even BETTER in person, as hard as that might be to believe. The last time I saw her was in Florida when Jilli, Pete, ND and I met up with Barb and her DH. That dinner was more fun than should be humanly possible.

That dinner was oodles of fun. That whole trip was fantastic, no surprise.
Hair dye has been rinsed out, Sweeney Todd is on the TV. I am sewing buttons on a jacket, and imbibing a mixture of the Sophia brand sparkling wine (fizzy wine inna pink can, yay!) with an added shot of rose liqueur. I am MUCH less cranky now.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Was it the Benny Hill theme?
