This weekend I will clean my apartment, go grocery shopping, and do laundry. Maybe. Tonight, I'm thinking about making fettuccine alfredo. I might try making sufganiyot this weekend, but maybe not, since I kind of don't know how to deep fry stuff.
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Every year I say I will try making sufganiyot and every year I just get frozen jelly donuts from Trader Joe's. It's a Hannukah tradition. Who knew I had traditions?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What's everyone doing this weekend?
Tonight: Not So Silent Night, featuring Muse, Metric, AFI, 30 Seconds to Mars, and Vampire Weekend
Tomorrow: Thunderbird audition and Writers with Drinks, at which my friend Seanan is reading
Sunday: Fried chicken party, with games
Somewhere in there I'll get a chance to watch Dollhouse and write epic posts or something.

My grandmother used to make sufganiyot. She'd always make way more than we could eat just while we were visiting, so she'd give us the rest to take home in a plastic bag, and by the time we ate them, the sugar on the outside had absorbed the oil and turned into a greasy crunchy mess. It was simultaneously delicious and disgusting.

Their stuff (info links on their cite, seminars they lead) seems to be mostly about living debt free.
Having 19 kids doesn't seem real conducive to doing that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds like my experience with the not-sufganiyot-but-similar-Sephardic treats my coworker has brought into work.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It's very much a "if we can do it, anyone can" thing.

Most of the recipes that I've seen say to sprinkle powdered sugar over the sufganiyot. My grandmother would always use vanilla sugar, but she would use vanilla sugar for a lot of things like that where most American recipes use powdered sugar.
Hmm. I wonder where I can get vanilla beans. There's really not enough time to make vanilla sugar before I want to make the sufganiyot, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wanted to throw down.
I knew it!
For a good cause--for the cause of righteousness. I throw down for nothing less.
There's a team lunch next week. Is that billable time? That's probably not billable time. But it should be billable time. It's two hours!
What's the plot of Legend... nevermind. Wikipedia will tell me.

We should all get our own reality show?
