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.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

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.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
In today's edition of Matilda's Exciting Adventures With Nature she was playing in the front yard of JZ's dad's house, which is rocky, hill terrain landscaped with shrubs and lavender and such.
Matilda: Mommy, come here. There's a snake.
Snake:
[rattles tail. Hisses]
JZ: Oh! Okay. Let's back up very slowly.
Snake:
[rattles tail again]
A fucking rattlesnake! Jesus Christ. Well, at least she didn't reach down and try to pet it like she did when she found a rat in the ivy plants when she was two.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Impressive composure. Well done, JZ!

Time to repeat the instructions to never EVER touch a snake you don't know without adult supervision.
I've never seen a wild rattler. Now I'm all jealous, sort of!
