Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Given the headbutts I've gotten from the nephews and various other littles, always surprises me that their heads are still bendy. I mean, I know, but it sure as hell doesn't feel like it when they collide with your cheekbone....

My skin is being really icky and blotchy and shit. I'm hoping it isn't the water, just something else.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Trixie Belden's mother used milk-soaked bread in her burgers.

That's because they were poor!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

No lumps, ita, but it was the back of his head. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Isn't milk-soaked bread the secret to good meatloaf and meatballs? Although like Jesse I tend to think a good burger is nothing but meat, salt, and heat.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was about to type this exact thing! The milk-soaked bread helps to keep meatballs light. But that's not a texture you want in a good burger.

Now that it's summer I want to start grinding my own burger meat for the grill. Mmmmm, burgers.

Because books.

Isn't milk-soaked bread the secret to good meatloaf and meatballs?

Yes, this. Although I agree on the burgers, I do like a little chopped fresh onion in them.

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

That's how we'd make ketleti - milk-soaked bread, ground beef, egg binder, rolled in bread crumbs. It's a flavor I like, but it's not a burger.

Yeah, I'm not opposed to a little onion. Or worcestershire sauce. Mmmm.

I've got to come up with pseuds for my neighbors. 10 hosted the get together. 14 is the other immediate neighbor.

I don't remember 10 doing anything special to the burgers, but new people were arriving, so I didn't see. But he strikes me as an organic, leash-fed and massaged type so the meat probably mattered a lot.

I like Blue Cheese mixed in with meat in burgers (and meatloaf!).

Chamomile and black tea are good for angry stupid skin, right?
