I am the fly who dreams of the spider

So, my brother's snake Spike, that he lost months ago, went on a bender over, and has been grieving over even as recently as last week when a friend asked him if he was going to get a new one?

Yeah, Spike's back.

Damn thing was sunning itself on the front porch when he took the dog out for a walk. Her back half that was still in shade was actually frozen (ew!).

She thawed out.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I thought they looked very new! And mom is acting very tuckered out, so I didn't think it had been very long.

eta: talking about puppies not snake!

Because books.

Any suggestions for good recipes with plain yoghurt in them?

Chocolate Earl Grey Cake.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Jilli, Flylady will nag you unmercifully. She has a fetish about shined sinks and wearing shoes, and never wearing jammies out of bed. On the other hand, there is purple.

msbelle, you just made my evening with the mac story. You should be able to see my grin from there. Also better living is a wonderful thing.

Go you, P-C, on the cooking!

ita, you should be able to sub plain yogurt for any recipe that calls for sour cream. I usually use it instead of the messed around with low fat sour creams.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I don't get the wearing shoes thing. Shoes are for outside. If I need to wear shoes inside I haven't vacuumed in way too long.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, I shoulda just used sour cream. But for some reason, Cook's Illustrated makes me more reluctant to substitute. Except to reduce sugar. That will be down by 1/3.

Chocolate Earl Grey cake? That sounds delicious.

Our wings are not tired.

You know what I need? Ideas on what to do with the 700 or so ripe Meyer lemons that are hanging in my backyard. Recipes? Please?

I successfully used 4 of them last night in my gin/tonic/lemon Golden Globes drink.

Julie, that's great news about Spike.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
