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 put my vinyl shower curtain through the washer. I don't use bleach and I don't put it in the dryer. It's gone through at least half a dozen washes with no sign of degradation. YvinylMV.
I treat my plastic shower curtain the same way. I wash it on cold with baking soda then hang it back up partially wet. (The spin cycle gets most of the water off.)
My mother is now getting a Mii. For some reason they're peer pressuring everyone into Wii tennis but me. Which is just fine, because, no.
My host is ritual fanatic Saints fan. She doesn't wear Saints paraphernalia anymore, because the Bush stuff didn't work out so well last season.
Meanwhile I'm seated in the corner trying to work out how to hook my camera up to the Mac to upload my five pics to Flickr. I have to turn in my tech geek card, because it's just not happening.

WHO DAT!?!?

In that case, I completely understand her not wanting to watch this game.
I finished re-assembling the garage sink's P-trap, etc. I am unsure what is so marvelous about a Marvel Connector, but it does not leak and it drains quickly, so, win.
Happy birthday, shrift!
ita, eat gumbo for me. I have been craving gumbo like a crazy person, and am not sure if there's anyplace in Seattle to get really good gumbo. (Yes, I know, I could try my hand at making some, but the idea of making a roux terrifies me.)
Making a roux is not hard. Just stir it a lot, and don't let it burn.

This is what everyone tells me. I still have an irrational fear of screwing it up. I may try it next week, after my contract finishes.
I've never done a roux that wasn't just for thickening gravy (blonde) but Alton Brown suggests cooking the roux in the oven, I guess to avoid the concentration of heat in one direction. I dunno.
Happy Birthday, shrift! I hope the day improves muchly.
I have about one more meal. Maybe I can make it gumbo. Everything's running a bit late. I'm pretty sure I won't get to say goodbye to people.
