Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So, you know those wire-framed clear plastic containers that new linens come in? Does anybody else hang onto those in the misbegotten belief that they will one day do the linen origami that allows them to go back in the containers where they will be happily stored during offseason? And do you use them?
My mom used them to store knitting projects. I use them to store sewing projects.

So this morning I had for breakfast an omelet with cheese and Hatch green chiles. I thought you all should know.
Whole Foods had freshly roasted (like, right out front) Hatch chiles yesterday. Now they are in my fridge. Best spur-of-the-moment WFing ever.
I don't think I've ever had Hatch chiles. Definitely something I want to try sometime.

Oooh, I am very happy for you.
I had a lovely evening at javachick's, complete with musical accompaniment by Beth's DH, and a wonderful new cocktail concocted by megan walker.
I've decided to christen it the Dark & Foggy in honor/honour of its Bay Area/London origins. [For the record, the recipe is 1 part Pimms #1, 4 parts ginger beer, and the juice of 1/2 a Meyers lemon over ice.]

It's very tasty and a fairly light cocktail. What they used to call a "2 o'clock drink" because it won't get you hammered.
mm megan, I was listening to NPR yesterday and the Good Eats lady was describing Pimm's Cup to one of her listeners and it gave me a hankering for a drink much like the one you've concocted.
ita, that's beyond appalling. It makes me so angry how they treat you at the hospital. Arggh!
Cousins are finally out the door. I got about 4 1/2 hours sleep last night, so I am exhausted. I want C to come home soon so I can take a nap.
My office is still apparently expecting everyone to come to work tomorrow in spite of the fact that we have no public transit. Lovely.
DH gave me his flu before he left for his motorcycle trip. It only lasted two days with him, and I hope it's the same with me as I cannot take time off work. I did go in to the office this morning, but am now at home lying around, all stuffed up and feeling like someone beat me up while I was asleep.
