I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Raise your hand if you knew that 'frying' Fage Greek yogurt yields paneer curds?

I did not. And to be fair, the frying was accidental. I was meaning to make mushroom gravy without any actual milk. And too high heat.

In the end, some brown rice flour, olive oil, sliced mushrooms, red peppers from the freezer and spices made a lovely side dish.

I'm in an EAT BIG mood, but you know...a billion degrees out...so I pan fried some chicken tenderloins battered with egg and the aforementioned rice flour. So, so good.

The original plan, steamed rice was on the menu, but the mushroom concoction proved completely satisfying.

Huh.

I've found nine times out of ten I'm happier to just add more veggies and skip the rice. Better for you anyway.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I get it Jesse! I was not reading that right.

Someone on my facebook posted a video of a really old (19 year old) therapy dog who could no longer walk and was wheeled into dying patients rooms on a little red wagon, and put in bed with them, and the person died holding the dog, who was licking their face. This was set to the tune of Sarah MacLachlan's "Arms of an Angel". I am now a blubbery mess, because the doggie is going to die soon too, and who will get in bed with him and lick his face?

Oh jebus. I will! I mean, maybe not so much with the licking.

I'm not sure I even want to see that video, given how much I would weep...not from sadness about his imminent passing, but that kind of service, especially from animals, just overwhelms me with a painful kind of joy.

For every story of degradation in the human experience, there is another about grace. Often, about non-human sources.

Bless bless this boy's heart, and the people who keep him. I want to think they know how to comfort him. Brave, beautiful soul.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, god, apparently Joshua Jackson went to Comic Con dressed as Pacey. ♥, big time.

How would one designate a Pacey costume? Didn't Pacey just wear regular clothes?

ION, I love Joshua Jackson!

That was exactly my question! What, he wore trousers?

HA! What the hell is Pacey-Con? I feel like I should be in San Diego.
