You are absolutely right, Daisy. I noticed that hint at the time, but I'd since forgotten. Sorry about not whitefonting, Natter! Forgot where I was.

Mmm, wontons. I've been working on making a dumpling a week, because I never met a dumpling that wasn't delicious, but I haven't gotten to wontons yet. This week was leftover pirogi, because of the cleaning out the freezer project, but next week will be time for a new one.

I think making the wrappers is not hard, either - basically just flour and water. Other than the rolling them thin part, which I am not good at. Glad I have a pasta roller.

what if you can't? They aren't cheap.

Well, if you can't afford an ultrasound, you can't afford an abortion, now, can you? Of course, you can't afford a baby, either, but the whackaloons don't care about that. A good Christian white traditional family will probably adopt it. Maybe.

Storebought wonton wrappers also make easy homemade ravioli.

flea, I make homemade crab rangoon with those wonton wrappers. YUM!

NSFW Recipe Generator: What The Fu*k Should I Make For Dinner?

Aptly described on MetaFilter as "indecision + vulgarity = dinner," "What the Fu*k Should I Make for Dinner" (WTFSIMFD, for our purposes) is a new recipe generator that happens to be pretty NSFW because of its prominent huge-lettered use of the word, "FU*KING."

Actual site: What The Fuck Should I Make For Dinner?

There's also a vegetarian option: I Don't Fucking Eat Meat

NSFW for (text) language, obviously.

Barb, if it is any consolation, I just found bloodspatter on my wall from where I got clobbered with the fanblade a month ago. That sucker bled like crazy.

I had dumplings for dinner. Frozen TJ chicken and veggie dumplings. Used up a bottle of soy sauce and cracked open a bottle of soy vey teriyaki sauce. Also brewed up another batch of iced tea.

I'm reading Dear Prudence. [link] A father wrote in, asking whether he should go into the mens' room or the ladies' room if he's out somewhere with his toddler daughters. The answer includes this:

Ideally, you should get in the habit of anticipating toilet needs so that before it's an emergency, you have a chance to see if you can locate single-stall facilities that allow you to lock the door. Sometimes there are special handicapped or family toilets at museums, etc., that would work. In a year or so, when you feel your older daughter shouldn't be entering the men's room at all, you can stand outside and wait for a mother and child and ask the mother if she will keep an eye on your little girl while she does her business.

My first thought was that this was written by someone who has never dealt with a kid who has to go RIGHT NOW, or a kid who has been told "don't talk to strangers." Someone later asks whether it's safe to send a kid into a bathroom with a stranger, which also seems like a good point.

Okay, it's no "eat your Cheetos with chopsticks" but I just realized that I can slice the nifty preroasted and prepeeled beets from Trader Joe's with my egg slicer. No fuss, no muss, no looking like a serial killer.

Wait, then why would you want to do it? Where's the fun in that?
