You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

Has anybody heard from Trudy lately? I don't twit or fb, so if she's there, I wouldn't know. But she hasn't posted here for a while.

She's been on facebook.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Heh. Trudy just busted my mom's chops on FB no less than 5 minutes ago.

My bird is beautiful. The skin is crispy and golden. I took it out and poked it with the thermometer and it's not quite done. At least I think I poked it in the thickest part of the thigh. I really didn't want to puncture that lovely skin.

I talked to Dad, he said since my aunt isn't coming up this fall (due to a variety of reasons she's waiting until Spring) and I'm still jobless he wanted to fly me back home for a visit. If I thought that would work. So now I'm checking out out flights. Although it looks like in order to see my nephew this would have to be in mid October

what name is Trudy going by on Facebook, if you don't think she'd mind that information going out?

Connie, I just sent you "suggest a friend" thing from facebook with her name so that I don't have to post it here.

Chicken was a success! I think everyone should be able to see a picture here - [link] the color is a little off though for some reason.

Rubbing the whole thing with butter really does make it crisp. And even though the back side got flipped over and in the juices it wasn't as soggy as if it hadn't been crisped first.

Only problems - I need potatoes to go with the gravy I made. And I need more salt and pepper on the actual bird.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Congrats on that fabulous bird!

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

That chicken looks good enough to eat, askye!

Hmmm. Wonder how long it takes to get to VT from here....
