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.
Mmm, cassoulet!
I have two ducks in the freezer right now! I could get 4 cups of duck fat pretty easily.
But I think I'm doing the goose instead for easter. I know I'm crazy to attempt it again, but it was sooo gooood, if the most labor intensive thing I've ever made.
Anyone ever read that one Douglas Adams book where a character ends up getting movers to take his refrigerator away, rather than clean it?
Only the fact that I'm renting, and don't actually own my 'fridge, is preventing me from trying this.
I got a few hours. I've swapped the headache that stopped me sleeping for a headache from not sleeping. Ah, well. Knew it was coming.
A new way to be digitally nosy, if where you live is big enough. I'm going to poke through public records to see what all they really have up there. The feeds of real estate listings and Yelp reviews give an interesting cross section of my nabe.

Cool.
fish smell -- small amount of vinager near the stove -- absorbs fish smell
My sister hates the smell of fish-- but like DH's fish chowder -- took the smell out of the house as it was cooking
Vinegar. Interesting.
That everyblock site lead me to look up the LA County Public Health restaurant rating for a C-rated restaurant near me, hoping it would say why it got a C. Cockroaches! Unsanitised food prep surfaces! Improper food storage temperatures! Honestly, from reading the violation pages, I'm not sure why it's still open.
Sadly to say I've eaten there, while it had the C rating. I just didn't realise the rating until afterwards. Sure, I'm still alive and all, but I'm mighty skeeved lo these months later.
Food was pretty good.
Just got back from my first swim in 18 months! I made a huuuuge mistake--when I had done about 20 laps, I took another break and then debated whether I should just stop there or continue. Since I wasn't all that tired, I decided to push through to the 33rd lap and get the full mile in. Then I had to get out of the pool. Oh.My.God, I felt like lead. I could barely make it to the locker room and debated again if I should shower there or wait until I got home. I finally got the energy to shower there, but it took me forever to get dried and dressed afterwards.
I want to eat nachos. I'm not even hungry! But yet, I have a taste in my mouth for nachos. Hmmm.
darn you, Jesse.
Every time I've thought of eating so far today I've gotten the hiccoughs. It's very dispiriting.
