Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And to Hec, there's a book you may want to check out called Free.

Oooh, it's "The Long Tail" guy.

"Chip butties" are made with frites. On buttered bread. Dinah was aghast. But they were teenage Scottish popstars - WTF would they know about cooking?

“Not dead yet!”

I'm making another bastardization for dinner-- spaghetti pie.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I had spaghetti pie last night!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can't wait to go home and continue the Greek Dip Fest I began over the weekend. I have taromasalata, tzatziki, and a kind of spicy cheese dip whose name I can never remember. Edit: Kopanisti, I think.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm not sure what I'll be doing for dinner. Biking up to the hippie co-op for their salad bar, artesian bread, and cider sounds good.

Coding and Sleeping

I'll be too busy to cook dinner tonight due to yardwork, mowing, brush clearing, and beagle escape prevention. So either pork chops if my wife cooks dinner (it does happen, it's just rare), or carry out.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

With my primary care doctor in Houston, I could almost always get in to see him the next day. Yes, I was very lucky, and he was part of a very large conglomerate.

Now, specialists? At least a week, bare minimum.

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

Yet another example of "just because you can doen't mean you should". See also, sandwiches that put fries IN the sandwich.

You have no idea what you are missing. Though, I do that with potato chips or corn chips too so it's possible I'm not in the normal range on this subject.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

We about finished off our tortilla espangole, and JZ's having the last of the veggie chili for lunch.

So I guess I better make something new for tonight. Maybe a salade nicoise.

Dangit! Now you're all making me hungry.

Fortunately, I've recently discovered Good Luck Dim Sum nearish to Matilda's daycare. Shrimp dumplings! 3 for $1.50! Also yummy pork siu mai 3 for $1.50.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I miss home-cooked meals. We are entering week 7 of our remodel (FINAL WEEK, Y'ALL!) and I officially tired of all of our local restaurants about 5 weeks ago. Hate eating out!
