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

How lazy is too lazy? If I make ice cream according to the recipe but substitute soy milk for cow's milk (but use real cream) is that going to mess anything up other than jeopardise the flavour?

I mean, anything chemical?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I bet it's OK, as long as the fat contents are similar.

Speaking of lazy, I just made a potato's worth of chips in my oven, which was super easy thanks to my mandoline, and I might just make another one and call that dinner.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Amy!

Don't know my status yet for work. Those in charge will send out an e-mail on Friday.

We'll be fine - it will get to be a pinch if it goes on for more than a couple of weeks, but if it's a day or two it's actually not a big deal, even a little break.

Yeah, what flea said. Heck it'll be less stressful than when I was out of work trying to get this contract lined up. At least now I have health insurance.

Also FTR, staying home from work today was a good call, since I got not one email I needed to respond to. And I did my laundry.

That's the NYT article on the shut down. Starts out clear and then ends all muddy.

Why has Chase sent me a "we've been hacked" email? I have a Chase account? *Now* I'm paranoid.

The board has a Chase account, if it could be that?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I wonder if that was part of the plan?

Probably.

My favorite non-dairy ice cream is So Delicious coconut milk-based ice cream. No cholesterol but I'm sure it's high fat. But real dairy ice cream tastes even better.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'll take gelato over ice cream every day. Less fat too. Of course, I cancel out that fact by insisting that my delivery method for said gelato be in a brioche, but damn it's tasty.
