Dinner tonight: BLTs with spicy mustard and toasted cheese, and a blueberry-lemon clafouti.
I have to say, the already cooked bacon, while more expensive and not as thick cut, is SO worth it in less clean up time.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

DID HE TURN OUT THE LIGHT ON HIS WAY OUT OF THE ROOM WITH YOU SITTING THERE?!?!?!?
That was pretty damn boggling. Not least because roughly 99.8% of the tales sarameg tells about her parents make it clear that both of them think the sun rises and sets on her. How can turn-out-the-lights guy be the same as that other guy in all the other stories?
I'm so glad you're about to have your house back to yourself again (except for the deck people, but oh how worth it that'll be once they're done).
ION, we may be utterly insane. Deb Grabien found an abandoned but completely tame rabbit in the park a couple of nights ago, and it's entirely possible that he may end up living with us. I can think of a million reasons why it's a bad idea to take on the commitment and cost of a pet, and yet...just that fat soft solemn face, crunching loudly on greens and staring at us in mild surprise--I've missed living with animals so very much. He's neutered and housebroken and just a big lollopy creature. Oh dear.
Oh, how can helping a sweet critter be bad? I saw her LJ and I swear, if I'd been there, I'd have been a goner.
BUNNY!
Bunnies are pretty low maintenance. A friend of mine in Columbus had one that was litter trained and she used to cuddle with him on the sofa and watch tv.
Given that you can't have cats, and I can't imagine with your lives currently how you could fit in a dog, this seems like potentially a great thing. Especially for a poor abandoned creature.
On a somewhat related note. I gathered up and washed a whole bunch of Lucy's toys and leashes and things and I want to take them in to the Anti-Cruelty Society soon. I'm kind of scared about it. I'm very not ready for a new animal, but I don't know what going in and seeing the poor homeless critters will do to me.
yoo need a bunny, ask emmett
I'm glad I an not the only one that laughed at Sara's dad turning out the light on her.
Steph if it makes you feel better I think a swamp cooler is a bit esoteric for a lot of us. I only learned what one was a couple years ago when my FiL tried to talk us into having him install one. My DH was practically doing his imitation of a tv sitcom character, waving his hands and shaking his head vehemently behind his father's back.
As for the bunny JZ, we are total enablers here. I think only Anya and maybe Hec are going to try to talk you out of it.
What IS a swamp cooler?

They use evaporation to cool the air rather than, um, whatever it is traditional air conditioners use.
Wow. I always pictured a styrofoam cooler suspended in a swamp to make beer cool!
