I could show the kids how to "look busy" and other handy office skills.
Heh. You could teach them to Alt-Tab to a spreadsheet whenever the boss comes around....
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have a spinach, fennel, and beet salad, with orange miso dressing. This is possibly the most perfect combination of flavors ever. I think next time the dressing should have a little more orange and ginger and a little less miso, but this is very close to perfection. (Also, the salad should have more beets, but I got tired of cutting them after a while.)

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

I've been wanting to try some beet dishes, but I've been nervous about the mess of peeling and cutting them. Do you have any tips, or is it just not as bad as I've been imagining? (which is pretty much CSI Veggie Tales)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You love a scavenger hunt, Perkins, right?
Ask me later, after the kids are gone?

Man, Nora, what I wouldn't do to be able to come to your yard sale and divest you of the Le Creuset.
But somehow not seeing a 3K mile road trip for a yard sale. Bummer.

Well, I used golden beets, which cuts down on the CSI factor a lot. If you cut them while they're raw, there's much less mess, but they're also harder to cut. Peeling is easiest when they're raw. For this, I needed them julienned, and I used a julienne peeler, which was possibly not the best choice -- it works great on carrots, but I had to use a whole lot more force with the beets, and my hands were aching by the time I got through two.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Having tire replaced now. In my head this was a much quicker procedure. C'mon, people!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Isn't male pattern baldness associated with testosterone? Not a lack of it.

Nevada Senatorial candidate Sue Lowden has a solution for health-care costs.
"before we all started having health care, in the olden days our grandparents, they would bring a chicken to the doctor, they would say I'll paint your house."
"I mean, that's the old days of what people would do to get health care with your doctors," she said. "Doctors are very sympathetic people. I'm not backing down from that system."
No, seriously.
Because health-care hasn't really changed over the last 100 years.
