[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.
The kitties won't be in bed with me for a bit. I'm supposed to keep them isolated for a while so until Thursday they'll mainly hang in the bathroom. I'll move Nalu in the bedroom then. I think my study will be offlimits unless supervised for a long time since there are lots of cords and computer stuff.
Awww! Loki looks so cute!
She demonstrated buying food for seven days for $7: iirc, pasta, rice, tomato soup, chopped frozen spinach and a couple of bananas. She went on about how much healthier it was.
And then you kill yourself out of boredom, so your grocery bill certainly is cheaper.
Aww kitties! I think Nalu looks more like a Dean. He comes off (in those two pictures) as too punky for a Nalu. Maddie looks like a Maddie.
What adorable kitties!

Yes. Right until the kwashiorkor hits.
I finished the second Elsie book. Not much interesting happened after her father learned to love Jesus. Elsie is still remarkably obedient and incredibly boring, but the demands on her are all the usual stuff, like keeping her dress clean and coming home for tea on time, that you'd expect.

Scurvy. Pellagra. Rickets.
Pellegra was the curse of poor Southerners who ate locally, when their diet was grits, cornbread, pork products and occasional greens.
Dinner tonight was shrimp sauteed in butter and garlic, with basil and chive, served over linguine, with diced tomatoes. Yum.
I'm not sure I got everything quite right, but it's still pretty good. I'm glad to have the kitchen to myself, but my technique still needs critiquing and refining, so it sucks now cooking in a vacuum.

Come cook for me! And who could imagine I'd have said that sentence five years ago, huh?
The trick with shrimp is to not overcook them. In and out quickly. If they totally curl up they get tough.

And we've got to get ourselves back to the Gaaaaaaaaaarden!
I didn't know regular yogurt had HFCS in it! What the hell, Yoplait.
I knew things were getting really bad a couple of years ago when I bought some Diet Orange Crush and the second ingredient was HFCS.
