Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Bah! I'm still making noises vaguely reminiscent of The Penguin from the TV version of Batman trying to avoid coughing a lung out. Meh.

Now tagless for your comfort.

So you've been traveling back in time and taking cooking lessons from Sean?

Rice in a tube=bad. Tomato paste in a tube=good. The New York Times Food guy says so!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I prefer freezing the tiny cans and then slicing frozen tomato sauce off the wee cylinder. I can never be sure what I'll use in time.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, that's a good idea.

Wow. That is genius! But I tend to lose stuff in my freezer and forget it's there.

See if you are singing it in a week. I'm a pain.

My dad is so adorkable. I told him I needed a tool list. He told me he already has one. I insisted he send it to me. He refused. I wonder.

I'm a slicer of frozen stuff cooker. It's how I handle the bacon I use for sauce bases--I slice off the frozen package so I get julienned slices, basically, and I can keep it forever. I found I was never eating rashers of bacon anyway, just using it sliced tiny for omelettes and the like.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Do you take it out of the can to freeze it? If not, how do you squeeze it out of the can to slice it? Because this sounds awesome!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I open one end of the can, freeze it, and then open the other end and slide the cylinder out and keep it that way, slicing some off when I need it. If I had a better can opener I'd wait until it was frozen before opening it, but mine's normal and crap. I want one of those unsealer ones--later when I have money again.

Wow, that is ingenious! I will have to try it.
