Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

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

I feel compelled to say there's no particular evidence that Hilter was an atheist. From what I've researched his theology was pretty whack, making it hard to classify as any particular thing. But, the argument that was made to me was that he had to be an atheist in order to be capable of what he did.

For that matter, he wasn't a vegetarian, either. (People have made the "Hitler was a vegetarian -- why do you want to be like Hitler?" argument to me.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That reminds me of one my favorite bits from Daria, when she's babysitting a couple of twins, whom she offers sugary cereal or something. To which they respond:

"Sugar is bad."
"Sugar rots your teeth."
"Sugar makes you hyper."
"Hitler ate sugar."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Hugs and ~ma to those who want/need them.

I managed to catch my pinky between the chair and my computer desk yesterday. Oh, joy, more bruises.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

sweaty sweaty hot mess. I want to blast the air and pack like a fiend, but mac needs some attention. Last day with both mental health professionals is a lot and I expect he will have a break at some point tonight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All I did was get home from work, and I am a sweaty mess. Oy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

All I did was get home from work, and I am a sweaty mess. Oy.

I'm sure that'll happen to me too, as it's 90 here and I'm riding my bike home....

Yeah, my little walk plus the stairs were enough. Luckily, I have a cold dinner already prepared! Potato and green bean salad w/ bacon.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I was watching this week's Cooks Country Kitchen, and they had a recipe for potato salad that looked easy and tasty. They used only Yukon Gold potatoes, and after draining them, they spread mustard and pickle juice over them before chilling the potato chunks for 30 minutes. They mixed together pickles, red onions, celery, and salt, pepper, and dried thyme with mayo and sour cream before adding the flavored potatoes into the mix. Then you can add (optional) hard-boiled eggs, although not until just before serving.

They even answered viewers' concerns over leaving potato salad out at a picnic--the mayo doesn't turn, but the potatoes can go rancid relatively quickly.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think Greek yogurt also has less sugar than the regular stuff. Mostly I buy it because I'm lazy.

Cook's Country/Cook's Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen drives me nut with their potato salads! They have one from each publication (possibly more) called "All-American Potato Salad," each with slightly different ingredients and a long screed on why potato X is the only potato worthy of being used in a potato salad. Except they each use different potatoes! Argh!
