Because books.

I should probably just slam a frozen steak on the grill and call things averaged out, right?

I'm sure someone can spare you a beet.

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

So then it would be 24 + Lost + Heroes.

At the 30-minute mark, it finally starts to get interesting.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

To me, beets are those things the plant in Croswell, MI, uses to make sugar. OK, I do like them when they're pickled. And I've had borscht and liked it. But I just don't find myself at the grocery store going, "Hmmmm. I'll have beets with dinner tonight."

Tonight I steamed some green beans and baked some chicken. It was tastier than you might expect. The chicken was fresh and juicy and just needed a touch of salt. And the beans hit the spot.

I had a spinach empanada and spinach and basil (from my neighbor's plant) and tiny tomato salad. Which I will probably have tomorrow night. Basil is a nice surprise in salad.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I can. Fuzzy raspberries thwarted me from having an Ocean's 11 joke themed dinner (Check this... all... red!) and so I am steaming artichokes.

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

I think that's No Ordinary Family, Jesse. Or that happens there too.

I have the TJ's beets in my fridge. But they have been there a long time. I should probably toss them. No way they could possibly taste good.

They have an expiration date on the packages and it's a very long time usually.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

FUMBLE!

meara, does your fridge contain sweet chili sauce? Because omg do I have a nommy way to eat salmon if you do.

I have...hot sauce. Um. What is sweet chili sauce? Can I get it at trader joes? Cause I'm as close to them as you are. (OOH! If only Trader Joes' were the vortex of transport! Then I could be all "here! Have some raspberries, because I have many!" and you could hand me chili sauce and explain your salmon plan)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think that's No Ordinary Family, Jesse. Or that happens there too.

Oh yeah, that could be right. Both titles fit the concept I have vaguely in my head! And I'm not watching either, dammit.
