Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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

Delizia. I had a slice of chicken and a slice of mozzarella. Nummy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Now I want pizza, except I know it wouldn't be as good.

I suppose I should point out the existence of this place in your vicinity. They have goat on the menu.

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

So, I decided on sesame chicken, which was 1 1/2" thick slices of chicken breast, stuffed with crabmeat and spinach and topped with peanut sauce.

That sounds delicious!

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

Sad though it was that the Saints lost, I am taking pleasure in the fact that the Falcons are currently getting their asses kicked.

not your mom's socks.

My mind is in the right spot when I look through menus.

Cheering you on Kathy - menus are so hard. Sounds like you are doing it right!

ION OMG Downton Abbey. Does this have a home in the tv threads somewhere? I'm slow to find it if so.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I don't think it does, Sox. That reminds me--I should check it out OnDemand tonight or tomorrow morning before it gets replaced with the new ep tomorrow night. Either that, or watch it online.

I'm going to cook up some lemon chicken tomorrow, so I'll have meals for the whole week between the lemon chicken, sesame chicken, and the rest of the chili I made last weekend.

I'm going to put the chicken breasts into a foil pouch with water and lemon juice, sliced lemons and onions on top, and lemon pepper, salt, and a few other spices, and then cook it at 350 for 45 minutes. Does that sound like enough time to poach them?

One of my favorite antique places in Ellicott City is closing down. Makes me sad. I got awesome glass from them, and had my eye on a desk I kinda loved in theory, but not actual style. And they had a maine coon I called Bob, who turns out is in fact, Bob. Always gave him some love when I went to get a haircut.

It's a landlord thing, had a long talk with one of the owners, they aren't happy at all. Main business is auctions, but this was their side of retail, and I loved it.

For those into ruins, I offer Ani, Ghost City of 1001 Churches - completely abandoned city between Turkey and Armenia that reached its peak in the mid-18th century, and was a rival to Constantinople, Baghdad and Cairo in its time.

Ah, I haven't read the Doctor Who books it sprang from(I've read a few summaries as part of figuring out what the hell) so I guess we're coming from opposite ends. Perhaps we'll meet in the middle eventually (I don't know what that means, either.) Oh, you might enjoy Miles' comments on The Ancestor Cell if you haven't seen them: [link]
