By the time we get around to buying Buffista Island, we might as well build Buffista Retirement Castle as well.

Kat, I know for sure that there's been literary scholarship on cookbooks -- met a guy who did a master's thesis on historical cookbooks many years ago -- so I know there's precedence in the field, FWIW.

Bah. 11:30 am and it's already 90 F here. I am so over summer. Pity it's not even officially summer until tomorrow.

“Not dead yet!”

We've got a projected high of 101 today and 103 tomorrow.

SO not going outside or anywhere, for that matter.

I've planned my weekend around getting all my outside stuff done before 10 am or after sunset. Granted, this is why I put a night garden on my front porch. But I still hate feeling trapped in my apartment by the weather.

Times like this I start thinking about moving to Duluth.

Because books.

It's gray and raining and only about 60 here -- so far the kids and I are huddled up watching old Supernatural episodes. I predict this is a jammies day.

Heh-- that's awesome.

::whimpers::

Perfect day as far as I'm concerned. Day to stay in jammies and socks and drink tea and work.

It was a lonnnnnng winter, babe. And a fairly cool spring. I'm not asking for 100, just a few successive days of high 70s and sunshine.

Yeah, I hear ya, sweetie. It's one of the things I miss most about Ohio-- in terms of the seasons, it was pretty much perfect. No one season lingered excessively over another, so you were really happy to see each one.

I just really, really freakin' hate the two seasons of summer and Ninth Circle of Hell that we have around here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A cool rainy day is great to stay inside with tea, it's true. Of course, you can't really do that for weeks on end.

I was all geared up for a bunch of shredding, but there's a paper jam in my shredder, and I can't get it out. Bah.

It might be because I was a kid at the time -- I was in seventh and eighth grade -- but I don't remember it being that awful when we lived in Boca. Of course, we were not too far from the beach, either, so we always got the breezes.
