Man oh man are they good. I used sage instead of rosemary since that's what I had growing.

Why have I never come across that site before, brenda? She is funny while cooking yummy stuff. And the pictures? That is awesome.

I know! I can't remember how I stumbled on it but it rocks.

brenda, I am making her cake here: [link]

Both Steph and Jesse have linked to her before.

We watched the Rose Bowl fireworks. Wow. Got to say, they were impressive. We're thinking about coming to the Bowl for the day next year and actually getting stadium seats to see the fireworks up close and the drum and bugle corps (who I love) perform. We were so late this year that we decided to pay to park but not to get into the stadium itself. It would only be worth $13 a head if you were going to be here for the day and get to enjoy the performances and booths and such.

We had a panoramic view on the roof. And a new British neighbor, which was good, because I felt as though I could now do a decent reenactment of the Revolutionary War.

Also, I ama little stoned, and therefore, everything is HILARIOUS.

Including this story from the dude who moved into my old apartment:

When he was little, he loved The Lion King SO MUCH, and asked his mom for African music for xmas, just like on The Lion King!

His mom got him a Motown collection.

My sides still hurt from laughing.

And a new British neighbor, which was good, because I felt as though I could now do a decent reenactment of the Revolutionary War.

At summer camp one year, early one morning on the Fourth of July, a few of the guys tied up one of the British counselors, taped tea bags all over him, and threw him in the lake. (No actual drowning danger, just mocking danger. Which we did. A lot.)

sj- I don't think there are new sets for Guiding Light so much as they are shooting in the actual outdoors/houses. So there seemed to be an outside for the Bauer residence, because when people walked by to talk to him, he was puttering in a garden. It is very strange.

I wiah there was a pneumatic tube between here and the public market. I want to go, but I either have to be ready in 6 minutes or wait another 40 for the bus. I need cheap veggies, though...

Man, do I love Australia. First, my oldest daughter was conceived there on our honeymoon…and while we’re on the subject, have I ever shared with you that we almost named her “Sydney” as a nod to her point of origin?

Har! I always have that sneaking suspicion with people with place names. To the point where if I don't have my "maybe this is inappropriate" filter on, I will ask. I did ask my best friend from HS, whose daughter's name is Naomi France, if Naomi was conceived in France, and she kind of gave me the stink-eye.

When he was little, he loved The Lion King SO MUCH, and asked his mom for African music for xmas, just like on The Lion King!

I am stuck on how someone was little when the Lion King came out and now is an adult. I am fucking old!

I was in 7th grade, Sue. Possibly the summer before 7th. The Jr Hi choir always did a New Disney Movie concert (there would be other music, too). I played Zazu in the skit sections (which, having met me, totally type-casting).
