Well, we seem to have convinced my mom that most of Rosh Hashanah dinner should be bought prepared. At least, she's convinced for now. First night is Friday night, I'm getting home Thursday afternoon, Dad's working from home Friday, and my sister is getting in sometime early Friday afternoon, so we'll try to not let her do too much.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I made cinnamon bread today that no one is allowed to touch despite the awesome smell because it is going to be french toast tomorrow for breakfast. Yes, I am going to be a popular mom in the morning.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Happy birthday to PC and yay for Hil's Mom feeling better (and at least temporarily seeing some sense.)
I found some walnuts in the cupboard and made some nummy pesto with fresh basil, garlic, sea salt, walnuts, olive oil and nutritional yeast. I used too much garlic and not quite enough oil, but it still tasted great (and i shall be tasting this garlic for at least another day!). Bonus: the omission of cheese and addition of walnuts actually made it pretty danged healthy. Especially over pasta with lots of steamed broccoli and tomatoes from a workmate's garden. Woot.
Hil, you have inspired me to actually cook something off recipe AIFG.

Hil, you can definitely make pesto without nuts.
Happy Birthday, P-C!
vw is a fantastic cook. I'm so full.

That sounds yum, erin.

Really? Neat! I've never tried that. Next time I have basil, I'll give it a shot.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I do love pesto, but too much raw garlic is a problem.
Oh em gee, I feel like I've been up forever. I'm just waiting till I can go to bed.
KBD is still playing Uno on his phone. He's obsessed and I'm jealous b/c he got it for free and I would have to pay five bucks on iPhone. Getcher first world problems right here!

The bag of free stuff from VegFest included a little bag of Tings. [link] They taste just like Cheetos. I so did not need to know about these.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Roast it. Or even just cook it a little to take the edge off. You can put cloves in a pan with their skins on and take them out when the skins start getting brown spots.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Dear me. So, do you need me to bring orange juice in the morning??

Sure, ChiKat! The boys can down a gallon of OJ faster than you can imagine.
