Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Who does MRIs at 10 o'clock? WTF?

We're supposed to get 6-9 inches of snow on Thursday night. That could change.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love this recipe because it's my grandmother's, so it's all "have pie crust ready" and "cook until done."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Aww, your grandmother cooks like my grandmother!

It's how I cook, really, except I have to pull out Mrs. Rombauer to make the pastry.

Oh, dag, my cookies are good but won't work for what I had planned. I was hoping I could make little sandwiches w/ salted caramel as the filling. They are too crumbly..what to do, what to do?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Make a parfait.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Apparently people were waiting 40 minutes for the bus that I caught without having to wait one bit. I took the bus to downtown Evanston, where I bought new boots. Which means I've significantly lowered my chance of falling and breaking a limb, as my current shoes have poor traction on slush and ice.

Also what you do when your Chocolate Jesus melts, or so says mr. Waits.

Delicious! Sadly, I was making these (well testing them out tonight) to bring to a cookie swap. And contest.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The area those baby name people are from is central Pennsylvania, a very rural area, and unfortunately rife with people who think Adolf Hitler is a perfectly lovely name, and Aryan Nation rolls of the tongue with euphonious artistry. They know exactly what they're doing.

They're in NJ, actually. Hunterdon County, right next to the river.
