I just made a huge pot of chili, and it's excellent, if I do say so myself. Note to future self: I know it looks delicious, but licking the adobo sauce from the chipotles off one's fingers is not actually a great idea.

I am going to make chorizo jambalaya tonight. I am am making pumpkin cookies if it fuckin' kills me.

I may make some pumpkin muffins (whitey) tonight. Kinda depends if mac is a pisser again. Nothing sounds good for dinner, maybe I'll buy some ginger ale and have some whiskey with that.

Hmm. I have a pumpkin I need to do something with. Though I did just make gingerbread last night. And after the day I'm having I'm kind of planning on doing some drinking tonight, so it might not be the best time to experiment.

OTOH, it might be the best! Who knows what crazy thing I'll come up with.

We were in a meeting the other day when someone brought in bagels. Apparently one was fruit based, but looked deceptively oniony. The designer put garlic spread on it and was...startled, to say the least. He said, "I would have expected [memfault on the exact fruit/sweet flavor] in a muffin!"

Had to excuse myself from the meeting.

I think I'm not touching office bagels anymore. Well, until the next hunger crisis. But the nastiness of a sweet bagel (or really, any bagel) that's been next to an onion bagel ruins all the fun. Why can't we all just enjoy Montreal-style plain, poppy-seed (see, I endorse kinds I don't eat), and sesame (mmmmmm) bagels?

I'm going to make spice cookies from msbelle's buffista cookbook recipe tomorrow, so I'd really better remember to buy flour tonight.

This is a pain in the ass.

Jessica, insent.
