I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I may need to have some popcorn for dinner.

I wish I had popcorn.

I do have edamame.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But hey, more for me when I do make it, right?

Well, exactly.

I am hoping to have leftovers from the cheese and crackers I just bought for the choir, unlike the excellent spread I made for my boss's party, which she kept to serve at another party! Tack-eee.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Well, edamame is pretty important.
 
While we were at the folks` place for Thanksgiving, my mom was super stressing out over wht the grandkids would eat. The older one has bad table issues, particularly exacerbated by her dad`s random discipline enforcement thus resulting in constant dinnertime battles which drives my dad nuts. So mom`s goal for the holiday was all food they would like so there weren`t fights.It`s a bit hard to predict since they`re half-Japanese kids raised in Africa.
 
Anyway, we get to dinner one day and there`s a giant bowl of edamame. Mom mentions it`s because my niece and nephew like it. My niece pipes up, "No, Grandma, we don`t like edamame,.." long dramatic pause, "we LOVE edamame." Hee.

I don't know where either of the two liberals in OK live.

I do! Because they're my in-laws.

OK, I got home from my work Christmas party at 4:30 and have watched some TV, talked to Mark, faffed around online and eaten a pear. I suppose at some point, I actually need to do some dishes and pack. And take out the trash. Since it's 7pm, and I leave in 12 hours.

I'm having mustard greens with pierogi from a local maker. It's always random what kind she makes and when they're available. These ones are sweet potato with maple and bacon. Le nom.

But now I think I may have edamame with it.

Since I bailed out of work at 1:30, i went to TJ's on the way home, and the line was as long as I've ever seen it. Which isn't that bad: they have 8 registers and they move fast, it's a good setup.

And although I went in for juice and soup, I also bought meat and pecans and eggnog and mixed nuts and and and -- and two bottles of sparkling wine I put in the refrigerator, just in case. When did I become a person who keeps multiple bottles of sparkling wine in the refrigerator?

God, I'm so glad to be on vacation for the next ten days. t flops in exhaustion

Of course, I really ought to go clean my house and wrap presents and walk the dog. Bah, humbug.
