Home again for floor install supervising duty, Tom is at work... I hate that my lizard brain is weirded out about being alone with the installer. He is a perfectly nice guy and doesn't ring any alarm bells.

This shit is loud, and now the dust is making the smoke detectors go off intermittently. Poor cats are stressed out!

Debating between nap and tv.

Multitask! Nap on the couch in front of the tv.

Foster kitty just peed on the scratching post base. ::sigh:: Good thing I was home, I guess. She needs to go to a vet - I don't think cat urine should be that dark.

Foodistas! Any reason I couldn't serve this: [link] over pasta?

No, I thought not.

(This is what happens when you don't have cable but the gym DOES, and insists on taunting exercising people by running the Food Network in the cardio area. You -- and by now I hope you know I mean *me* -- start thinking, "Hey, *I* can make something if it requires only 5 ingredients!" and then Food Network has won.)

It's MADE OF BROCCOLI!

What Tom said. Yecch.

I dunno Tep...there isn't any bacon in that recipe. I'd stay away if I were you.

I think you can make anything with 5 ingredients as long as one of the ingredients is heavy cream.

Well, all those times I heard people talk about "making compromises for love," I didn't know they meant what happens if you hook up with a vegetarian. I can have bacon for me, but it can't go in shared dishes.

The thing is, he used to eat bacon, so he knows exactly how much I love him, as measured by my willingness to forgo bacon in shared dishes.

She used the heavy cream for at least 2 of the dishes on that particular episode (the other dish was chai-infused s'mores).
