Cash, glad to hear the good news for your sister. Vibing hard for her.
Spike ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.
My mother is going nuts trying to figure out how to make vegan latkes. I've got a pretty good idea for how to make them, and I told her how to do it, and it's simple and easy. But she's googling a million different recipes and sending them all to me and trying to decide which one I would like the best. (The reason why I don't think I'd like any of those recipes is that they're pretty much all for the kind of latkes that are thick like hash browns, and my family always makes the thin, crispy kind. So I figured out how to make a vegan version of the thin, crispy kind. But what I figured out isn't good enough -- if it's not on the internet, it can't be the right way. Even though it's using the exact same method that I used for matzo stuffing at Thanksgiving, which everybody thought turned out really well.)
If you post yours on the internet, would that count?
Oooh, good plan. That actually is how I got the pumpkin pie by her for Thanksgiving -- I experimented with that recipe for a while in October and the beginning of November, then when I had it right, I posted it on a vegan cooking board, and then, when I was at my parents', I asked my dad to print it out for me. (My parents, for some reason, have their only working printer in the basement. My mom can't handle stairs most of the time, so whenever she needs something printed out, she emails it to my dad. They have another working printer upstairs, it's just not plugged in or set up.)
I just turned on the TV to find Oprah interviewing the Obamas about how they celebrate Christmas at the White House. I'm not quite sure what the point is.
That Oprah can get on TV with Obama any time she wants. SHE IS JUST THAT POWERFUL.
I'm not quite sure what the point is.
Does it really need a point? It's our President and his wife in their first Christmas at the White House. This stuff is done every year.
Really? I guess I never noticed it before.
Maybe not on Oprah, but by various people through the years (Diane Sawyer, Barbara Wa-Wa, Katie Couric, etc).
OK, I found something even weirder. Full-Court Miracle, on the Disney Channel. A Jewish school has a basketball team. The main character kid has gotten several talks from the rabbis about how he needs to find the Judah Maccabbee inside himself to lead the team. Now, it's the championship game, and there's a storm, and the power went out, and there's not enough fuel in the emergency generator to have lights to finish the game! But they're going to try anyway.
I suppose I should take it as a good sign that Jews get ridiculous holiday movies just like Christians do?
