I check my bank account/credit card online a few times a week, because I'm paranoid about identity theft.
Heeeey, it's like we're the same person.
Hee!
(That's probably not a revelation to anyone but me, but when I thought of it, I was tickled by my soooooper-genius.)
I don't have any system like that; I just pay my balance in full each month.
Oh, me too; I just make sure to enter my purchases in my check register so that I know I'm not spending more than I'll be able to pay off. I have to keep track, especially during Christmas shopping, etc.
I finally made it to work, where there is hot crab dip and Triscuits (for all 7 of us [which is more than I thought would be here]). Woot! Also, on the way in, I heard "Disco Inferno," which still makes me giggle and think (or occasionally sing) "Burn, Scrappy, burn..."
Mmmm...hot crab....
It is so good I could eat the dip with a spoon, instead of on Triscuits. But I love me some Triscuits, so it's all working out nicely.
is it cheesy? I want to try this for New Year's Eve.

What time can I show up for your party?
It is cheesy -- it has the texture of whipped cream cheese -- with slivered almonds. SO GOOD.
Crab dip? Now I'm really hungry.
I meant to sleep in till one p.m. but I did not factor in the church on the next block. Someone gave them a memorial gift last year, to update the software and refurbish the carillon. Yay. Twenty minutes of chimes, interspersed with tunes that are either patriotic hymns or utterly unrecognizable, at noon.
I'm going to try to make bao for NYE, too.
I've had the Christmas cold for about a week. On the bright side this has led to some awesome soup recipes. (My favorite Turkey noodel: turkey medallions cooked in soy milk and chicken broth with onions, mushrooms, spinach, garlic, lime juice and a bit of wine and honey. Umm obviously noodles got added at some point.)
I have absolutely no plans for NYE food. And it turns out I have people coming over. Admittedly, low key kid type people, but still! We used to fondue as a family every New Year. It actually started as a friends tradition with my folks' friends back in the seventies when such a thing was first cool. But we just never stopped doing it (possibly because I loved it so much. I mean, seriously, people, fried cheese! And okay, also beef and shrimp and battered mushrooms, but mostly, fried cheese!)
And then a couple of years ago, a group of our friends got together for a big fondue party and I felt all aww nostalgic about it. Like these were my awesome friends like my parents' awesome friends who stayed their friends their whole lives.
So anyway, maybe we should fondue!
