Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Usually we get MLK as a floating holiday. Which, frankly, bugs the fuck out of me, and I just ranted about a couple of weeks ago. So of course this year we do get it and it's throwing off a major project. What is that, like anti-karma?
But this year we get it off plus a floating hol, since both Xmas and New Year's fall on Saturdays.
Jessica, that is cumin-y!
I don't do much cooking, so this is a really amateur question, but can I use the same skillet with the meat juices left in to saute my onion after I finish browning my meat, or should I wash it out first?
You might want to wipe it if there's a lot, but otherwise yes.
No, don't wash in between. I do the onion first and then just add the meat to brown, but I like my onions cooked to disintegration.
I CAN STOP watching the NeutraFace video. I know have a list of improvements that can be made to their costumes (the shorter, non-bearded dude needs his shirt fitted, and he is wearing those low-cut socks, so you can see his ankles!)
Sophia that is hilarious. But isn't the short pant/sock combo kind of a Thom Browne thing?
Maybe- although these look more like short sock liner sweat socks! I read this article (maybe linked here) that the Thom Browne look can work for anyone, but I am not sure....
You know what's annoying? Work is closed monday. But I don't have it off, per my company. So I have to take vacation. EXCEPT, my company gives us Presidents' Day. Except work is open, so I have to work. I can then float the holiday for later in the calendar year, but not over to next year. So it's a wash, but incredibly stupid they can't get their collective acts together.
my brother and his bf came into the city to join mac and I in the regular post-therapy dinner at Chipotle so it could feel a little like a birthday. My brother is a really good older brother (megan walker can back me up) he had gotten cupcakes and is being extremely generous for a gift in covering moving costs, and had brought in mac's gift to me also (which, of course, he had also bought).
So yay a nice ending to a pretty normal day, but no issues or problems which all I was really wanting out of this birthday. 39 is just a holding pattern year anyway, right?
