All the tickets I filed resulted in someone coming in to my office and throwing the gates wide. Just as planned.
Nice.
Atherton: Half the men in this room wish you were on their arm, tonight. Inara: Only half. I must be losing my indefinable allure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ground or beans?
Ground, for maximum aroma dispersal. It's very calming. It's nice to have something that cuts through other scents and isn't remotely cloying or sweet.
I had a couple people at work harass me about the reputation of Blue Mountain coffee so I asked my mother to bring me some small bags of the stuff up to the NO funeral. I will happily dole the stuff out like a crack dealer. It's little enough that she doesn't begrudge the expense, and if they get hooked, it's a worthy investment in a potential future revenue stream.
Except now they're saving it for special occasions. I just want to know if they like it. Of course I talked it up. BUt only when asked.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hummus is chickpeas! What's there to like?
Chickpeas are a food of gods. I love them every which way.

Chickpeas are gritty and hummus is gritty mush. Don't get it. Oonu weird.

Gritty hummus is poorly made hummus. Add enough tahini and olive oil and it's smoooooooooooooooooth. And delicious.

Olive oil! Yeah, not gonna work. In quantity, migraine trigger. Can only consume lightly. No doubt a contributing factor that took me this long to remember.
Can you make hummus with bacon fat? Maybe I'd like that.

Now you're talking. There has to be a niche market for that. Besides just me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Bacon, vanilla, bread, and chocolate. Best food smells ever.
I just unearthed my bread machine (seriously, I had no idea where I put it when I moved here. Um, five years ago.) and started a loaf of bread. Because I am feel eh today and baking bread seems like an amazing way to feel better. If I go buy bacon, I am ... you know, I was going to say "blame ita" but "thank ita" seems like the better choice. Mmmm, food.
