Woe to the fucking wicked.

Someone didn't do their text-work. If you don't know what you're saying, you're not going to say it well.

I may tune in for the second half, but for now I'm off to the grocery store for ground lamb. But, now that -t has mentioned it, I may have to pick up cheese dip and nacho chips.

I just had a cheese and apple snack. Good but no chips and dip

Good luck with the ground lamb, Sail. Last time I needed some, I had to girnd up some chops or steaks or something in the food processor - 4 stores, no ground lamb.

bon bon, where?

Spent the morning in Northridge running errands. I cannot believe how windy it has been.

Noah looked at the TV (showing the Superbowl) and said, "That's a bad guy." On screen were John Madden and George Bush.

At the Winter Farmers Market, I asked at the local "ranchers" booth about ground lamb, and it turned out they'd run out early. Said it was quite the thing these days. If I can get it, I use it instead of ground dark turkey, because it has even more flavor to it.

Bagel with cream cheese almost satisfying that cheesy dip desire. Almost.

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

Finished my queso. Sad now. (This stuff: [link] It's only sold in regular stores in Texas and a few other states, so I can only get it here by mail order. I was ordering some stuff from one of the mail order places already, and I'd heard this was good, so I put a jar of it with my order. The shipping is way too expensive for this to be a regular thing.)

That's funny, Kat. I heard the announcers say W. was sitting next to Madden but I didn't see him.

Whole Foods is the only place near me that seems to reliably has ground lamb.
