Stick blenders are great, but dangerous. I discovered that I could make fresh whipped cream with one in under 30 seconds. My consumption of fresh whipped cream went up dramatically.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I have a stick blender, but it doesn't work very well. The blades aren't really sharp at all, and they don't blend anything unless it was really mushy to begin with.

“Not dead yet!”
Yeah, I used to have a stick blender and loved it, but I killed it with a batch of split pea soup.
Of which I really want some now. Except it's 90 freakin' degrees. Can it be November already?

Our wings are not tired
S's truck is blowing oil smoke like crazy, and had been making a nasty rattling noise on the trip. I think she's got a blown gasket.
Sean, if you need to borrow the Diablo Sound truck for a few days to get around, you are welcome to. Just let me know and I'll let our housesitter know to not worry that it's gone. The gas mileage on the truck sucks, but it's reliable.

Thanks, Drew.
IOnotsomuchabout*me*N.... This Russia/Georgia thing is really freaking me out. It's kind of bad news. The Russians are using a huge show of force, and that stretch of land that Georgia occupies? Go look at a globe. You know what lies on the other side of that? Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Isreal, and the rest of the Arabian peninsula.
Not to be too alarmist or anything....

I'm hungry, and there's no food in the house. I don't want to go out, but I don't know what I'd want to order out, either. And the only thing I have is a $100 bill. Feh.
