thanks Barb. So much for catching up on that.
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

Nice chandelier, Scrappy.

oops. I think I just pissed my heavily Right-leaning uncle off. In chat, he was saying "I'll disown you if you vote for Hussien". So I ask what scares him?
"just where is all his money coming from? huh? Saudi Arabia!!"
So I link him to: [link]
He didn't like that. So then I link him to the Snopes article: [link]
Then he starts wailing about how he hasn't voted on anything since being in the Senate, so you can't tell what his positions are. So I link him to: [link]
Then he wails how "present" doesn't count as a vote" which I respond, "wow, look how many "NV" McCain has too. Do any of these people actually work in Washington".
Ya, he just signed off. I really hate when people regurgitate whisper campaigns. There is the WWW out there people! Look stuff up! Verify!
Maybe I spent too much time in the library as a kid.

Omnis, you deserve to be snuggled for championing truth, justice, and the... well, it's not really the American Way anymore, now, is it? Considering how antithetical current leadership is to the first two intangibles.
ION, guess who has a whirligig?
That's right, I do. We stopped at an orchard/farm stand, and they had miscellaneous non-food items for sale, including some old fashioned hand carved (whittled?) whirligigs made by the now-deceased uncle of the guy running the stand. Daniel bought one for me.

“Not dead yet!”
Yeah-- end times are here. Vandy just beat Auburn for the first time since 1955. First time they've gone 5-0 since 1942.
And yay, whirligigs and good boyfriends.

So my folks gave us a gift certificate for our anniversary for this quite nice place in Salem called Sixty2 On Wharf (we'd gone there with them for our birthdays, and our server spilled a beer on me, but everyone was so nice and paid for drycleaning my jacket and also gave me a gift certificate) and we went tonight.
Really good food. Really really! It's awesome to have this kind of place in Salem. I have to write down what we had before I forget (also it was great to have this kind of nice meal after looking at all the SF places to eat)
Drinks upon arrival: Tom had a Chimay, I had a quartino of a pinot gris from Oregon.
nibbles/tapas/antipasti: we got cauliflower fritters, arancini, and chickpea fritters. I know, that's a lotta fried brown crunchy things, but they were very good and very different from one another. The chickpea fritters had a date compote thing to die for as an accompaniment.
We decided that rather have a main course, we would have two smaller courses. Mostly because everything looked so awesome and this was an opportunity to try more.
mid-course: I had a braised pork belly with yucca fries and spicy red cabbage relish/salsa. OMG. Tom had an arugula salad with prosciutto, figs, manchego cheese, and almonds. Also amazing.
Second round of drinks: I had a Chimay and Tom had this excellent organic belgian beer which was a "single" (as opposed to dubbel or tripel). Very, very tasty. And since this place is much more a wine place than a beer place, kind of impressive to see it on their beer list.
pasta course: I had papadelle with braised rabbit and green olives. Tom had angnolotti (which was like a ravioli thing with delicious creamy ricotta) with butternut squash, sage, and chestnuts. I could not finish my pasta because it was too good to keep eating since I was so full - the pork belly was pretty rich and the pasta looked like it would keep as a leftover quite nicely.
Dessert: Tom had the sticky toffee pudding and a cappuccino; I had a glass of 10 year old tawny port.
We got the bill and were pleased to find we came within $5 of our gift certificates combined! we paid our tip and left- it was such a treat to be able to indulge in that kind of meal without having to worry about the price. Thanks, mom and dad! And our server who spilled a beer on me last month enabling me to get an additional gift certificate from the owner!
We are drinking a crazy single malt now that we are at home- a very intense Islay single malt called Lagavulin. Smokey!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Moooooooooom! Nora's teasing again!
