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?

That's because they were poor!

They were not! Just not rich like the Wheelers and the Lynches. Any family that was going to let Trixie have a horse can't be that poor.

I don't salt my burgers, but otherwise I do season the fuck out of them.

They were not!

Her brother drove a jalopy! (Hee -- jalopy. I still only think of that one car, because it was where I learned the word.) No, of course they weren't actually poor, just book-universe poor. I can't believe I don't know who the Lynches are. I should re-read those books, or maybe I shouldn't.

It is, sara.

Cherry Ames was my girl, aside from Nancy Drew. I think I only read a few Trixies. Oh, but I loved the Beany Malone books, too!

Kashi and strawberries:

I'd never noticed how much Keith Carradine looks like Stephen Collins until I half watched Because I Said So. Which my TiVo recorded because Colin's in it, but he has one line and it's a profoundly irritating movie. At least I didn't use much attention on it.

I loved Trixie Belden! I didn't read Cherry Ames until adulthood, and then only shortly before I read the lesbian takeoff of Cherry Ames. Hee. Which was awesome.

Good, because I've already slapped a hot washcloth soaking in both on my face. I'm sure some of it is several sweaty days in makeup. Will be more diligent in washing my face before and after digging into some sweaty house project.

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

I loved the Lea & Perrin's commercials.
