Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hee.

OK, that's why I wouldn't make caramel.

So, my grandmother is still in the ICU, but I guess is doing better.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Goat Eye Syndrome is characterized by eyes afflicted with horrific horizontal pupils similar to those of cephalopods such as octopi, squid, or cuttlefish. The pupils of these beasts are approximately the shape of a kidney bean, but instead of dividing the eye vertically, in the manner of noble, trustworthy beasts such as tigers, bobcats, and snakes, the GES pupils transfix the eye horizontally. This is disgusting. The only other type of animal to display such disgusting, vomit-inducing eyes are the previously mentioned cephalopods (which have a long association with death from the murky depths and Cthulhu) and Kermit the Frog, who is a felt puppet created by Jim Henson, and should not be considered an example of an accurate representation of frog physiology.

Not entirely true. There are other ungulates, such as antelopes (fairly closely related to goats) whose eyes have horizontal pupils, and they actually swivel in the sockets to stay horizontal even when the animal puts its head down to graze. The reason is simple, it better allows them to scan a wide field of vision for approaching predators.

Hope your grandma continues to do well, Jesse.

Em is aDORable!

Should have read saramegs link sooner...

Home with an hour and a half that should be used for unpacking. Hmmm. Maybe I open some more boxes and do a load of laundry. Does that sound fair?

well according to something I just read, this is not true caramel, because it is more than just sugar. and I should be able to leave it alone at low heat for 5b min at a time, but I fear burning the bottom.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I just made those apple cider - caramel cookies and holy crap those are some good cookies.

Yes. And also because of the evil.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

it better allows them to scan a wide field of vision for approaching predators.

Plus they must have lots of predators, what with being so tasty.

There is much truth in this. Goats may have to contend with tigers, leopards, wolves, bears (surprisingly fast at times), wild dogs and ita.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Oh, cooking thread, I have a cooking question.

Every week, on Thursday, Todd deep-fries me fish. We got different fish a couple of weeks ago, and, when battered and fried it tastes "fishy" in a watery, icky way, and is nearly inedible. The old fish did not have this problem.

Any ideas?
