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 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.

Send them to Liese to can!

Ok, am done for the night. House is clean, front swept, lunch made, figured out where the onion smell was coming from: apparently all the cooking last night at friend's imbued my bra with a lovely onion smell. Ack.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Pretty sure you're supposed to make a metric fuckton of lemonade...
