Roux is not hard. Even I can do it. And it's great for mac and cheese.
Speaking of cheese: I'm having a grilled cheese sandwich with brie, grilled chicken and bacon. It is heavenly.
The 3:00 playdate we had (and really really really cleaned for) just called to cancel.
msbelle, yay for homework doneage!
Also, if any local folks want to come by, we have red velvet cake, yummy decadent cheeses and sparkling wine AND a clean house. come by if you'd like.
I'm also in the process of shredding denim pants for a carpet. If any of you have either jeans you don't want or other jean weight fabric and you want to send it to me, I'll pay for postage because I need more. Also, white wool sweaters please. If you have any and want to get rid of them, I'll pay postage.
I might, Kat.
Would sweet potato be good or weird in a beef stew?
Also, FTR: I don't feeeeeeel good.
I definitely have some jeans I can send you, Kat.

Good
I changed the garage door opener light bulb and it still doesn't go on. I think I have run out of caring, though.
I guess I'm decompressing from the holidays. I spent way too much time at the hospital and nursing home, and I guess I've been a giant ball of stress and anxiety for weeks.
The best birthday present I could get today would be a goddamn fix for my lack of wifi connectivity on my new computer. Everything else I can work on myself.

Good.
I might have some jeans for you, Kat. I'll have to take a look.
Jesus. There were so many dirty dishes that I couldn't do them all in one fell swoop, because there wasn't enough room in the dish drainer, not even the way I do it (The Boy calls it Dish Tetris).
So, 3/4 of the dishes are done, clothes are folded and put away, sheets and towels are in the dryer.
Still to-do:
put away round 1 of dishes
wash rest of dishes
fold and put away sheets and towels
full frontal attack on the shower curtain
exchange money for groceries
Then I will hope my leftover sweet potato isn't too gnarly to go into stew!
Speaking of things people might want, is there anyone here who likes/collects/has a use for old camera equipment? One of my chores today is to clean out the cabinet where I keep such things, and get rid of them. I'll try freecycle too, but I thought I'd ask here too. I can send a list a little later if anyone might want them for the cost of shipping.
