Beth, I'm sorry about the asthma. Not fair about the tired, but I'm glad you can at least enjoy slounging.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Does anyone here know what yeast extract is? I am trying to use up some turnip, and I found a recipe for vegetarian "cornish pasties" that sounds good, but at some point you mix yeast extract and milk and stir it in. I think it is being used as a thickener, so maybe I could use flour?

I also have a whole bunch of leftover glop from beef stew (I had too much liquid, so when I thickened it, it was still too much liquid). Maybe I could use that?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yeast extract is Marmite or Vegemite.

Ok then. I think I can safely skip it

I was just watching a British reality show called Come Dine With Me and one guy used marmite as the secret ingredient in his chili. I think those who love it, love it in everything.

Because books.
Marmite is yeast extract?! I had no idea.

Marmite is an umami flavor: [link] In small amounts, it'll make pretty much any savory food taste better.

Yeast extract in vegetarian recipes is mainly used to create umami, since it contains glutamates. A splash of soy sauce is good in a pinch.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I thought about it, after the other thing fell through, but I'm pretty sure that the 2 hour drive it would have been because of the rain would have turned my tired into rage.
You could've done what megan did, and spent the night there.
Errr. You're kind of missing the point--it's not the being there or the going home that was the issue, it was the getting there. It took me over 45 minutes to get home last night, and that was on the good freeway, and about a third of the distance. I would not have been up to game night after the drive.
It's good you all left the city though!
