Last night I sauteed spinach! It was magic. I put such a great volume of leafage in the skillet, but it shruuuuuunk. It tasted pretty good with lemon.

Spinach is fun like that. It's really good if you throw in a handful each of raisins and pine nuts, and let the pine nuts get a little toasted.

I got changed into my pajamas before I remembered that tonight is the night to take out the garbage. I guess I can just put my jacket over my pajamas, but I was getting all comfortable, and now I've got to go outside again.

I don't like raisins, but pine nuts are an idea. Also garlic.

So it was kind of inevitable that people would at least glance at the other people.

This was full-fledged, all the guys stopped dancing and pulled aside the curtains to look. Given the shitty glances the people who crossed over got, it seemed a little hypocritical. But I don't have the nuanced sensitivity to the customs.

The women had to pass through the men's section to get to theirs, so there was that much intermingling. The genders were separate during the ceremony, but co-mingled at the dinner.

Timelies all!

I can't recall anything really weird at the weddings I've been to, despite having been to three that were held at conventions.

Also white beans (canned are fine if you rinse them), and then serve it all over pasta.

Dried cranberries or cherries would work too. I just made brown bread with tart cherries instead of raisins and it was so much better.

Ooh, sounds yum! I have dried cranberries for my oatmeal...

I always pick up a bag of baby spinach at TJ's. I use it for salads, omelets, stir fry (always added at the very end), or in things I've sauteed to put on pasta.

JZ is true to her Greek heritage and will eat spinach, feta and olives every day of the week.

That's what I used!

How does that work? Just spinach on top of pasta? No sauce? The spinach is the sauce?

I've only been to nondenom, quaker and random other christian weddings.

So today, they came to me with request to do an insert on a table. "It's just like your system! Except on a different database! And a different database OS! Oh, you didn't know about it? What, you don't have an account on the server? And don't have the interface software to the db? Oh and we're live!" WTFF. They've been SO GODDAMNED CAGEY about this mission that ops didn't know they went live until today. They've been live for a week.

This isn't the first time this has happened lately. We need to have a talk.

And sitting at my desk, I pinched a nerve or something right by the shoulder/collarbone meetup. And it's really annoying. Even could feel it in the pool. Which was a madhouse, at one point with 10 people sharing 2 lanes. At least they were considerate and stayed out of my way.

I so so SO need an attitude adjustment. I feel as if I'm having 2 weeks of pms, such is my irritation level. And yet, no. It's just the situation.
