This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Ha! I knew I spelled it wrong.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Do you want me to keep both of them for you?

Yes, ma'am, that would be lovely.

I just made soup for JZ as she and Matilda were walking back from church in the rain.

It started off as black bean soup but ended up being more like Italian wedding soup with veggie meatballs. Yet another improv cooking success.

Though I'm still a little more proud of the crystalized ginger I used in the stir fry last month.

Italian wedding soup is one of my favorites, and I would love a veg-friendly recipe. What did you do? Did you use tiny veggie meatballs, or big ones?

Though I'm still a little more proud of the crystalized ginger I used in the stir fry last month.

Ginger makes so many things so much better.

Not if you ask MaryAnn!

Hey, we don't know what shenanigans they got up to in that hut....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am doing my part for my cholesterol by having smoked salmon hash at a swanky restaurant on my way home from the con.

You make an excellent point.

Mmm, ginger. Not that Ginger isn't nice, too.

I have just killed an hour reading some Temeraire. Now I must move some laundry about, then venture into the rain to make a Good Will run and see houses.

What are my chances of unloading a small flat-screen monitor on Craigslist? Should I just Goodwill it instead?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

A computer monitor, 'Suela? It's worth putting it up on Craigslist. There are people out there who still have CRTs.

You could likely get some $ for it on Craigslist, but probably not more than a tax write off would be.

I was supposed to spend my mid-day with Kelly, but thanks to flight snafus, I won't see her until tonight. So then I was like "COOL, I will get to see the SF Giants game and pre-game ceremonies" but that's on rain delay.

So I may take myself out to a late breakfast and read the Sunday paper. I cancelled my subscription for the Chron, but today is exactly the kind of rainy day that calls out for leisurely paper reading.

And then, depending on whether the game is postponed or not, I will go see "Ghost Writer".

I love Sundays.
