[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Yay Hil!

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

Go Hil! What an accomplishment!

So I'm going a little stir crazy. Any of you Mamas have tips for stuff I can do out of the house with a sometimes fussy infant? We stroll around the neighborhood, at the local park, and at the mall. I'm hoping for other ideas...

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

Congratulations Hil!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Hooray, Hil, that's fantastic!

GC, maybe the library? IIRC, the downtown LA public library has a huge children's section with regular readings and occasional puppet theatre and such.

I just tried out my new julienne peeler. So cool. I can make fancy-looking carrot pieces! Without taking out my mandoline! Now I'm looking around my kitchen, trying to figure out what else I can julienne.

I didn't know that's what Annie's Goddess dressing's made of. I'll have to get some when I get home.

Glamcookie, does your library have any kind of kiddie story time? (Or maybe that's too old, still.) Music events in the park? Botanical gardens or science museums where kids are encouraged to poke at things and be noisy? The last one's still probably a bit old for your baby, but I've found them fun for myself, and the noise level means a bit of fussing would probably go unnoticed.

There are two with similar names. The Goddess one is tahini and garlic. The Green Goddess one is mayonnaise and herbs. (And the Goddess one is also relabeled and sold for cheaper at Trader Joe's.)

TJs has a goddess dressing, too, that's pretty much like Annie's. t edit Or what Hil said.

TJ's has a bunch of name brand stuff repackaged as TJ's brand. The other one that I can remember right now is that the frozen burritos and pizzas are Amy's Kitchen, but there are a ton more.
