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.
Thanks, Erin. I may give it a try. I don't have any syrup, though, so not today, sadly.
I'm kind of excited about your cake, too, Kat. What is the occasion?
I just discovered that Hermione Norris is no longer on Wire in the Blood, which is news about five years old, but whatever. I'm a little bummed. I liked the two of them together. New person seems OK, though.
You people are not making me want those shoes any less. Just so you know. C'mon! Those with black tights, my usual fluffy skirts, and a severe Victorian jacket? Fantastically creepy.
Well, yeah, I'll give you that. You would rock them.
I wish I could get skating lessons here, but the only rink we have doesn't offer them. It's such great exercise.
The Mad Rollin' Dolls have a rec league called the Mad Wreckin' Dolls if you want to get some good exercise!
Those shoes give me the willies!
Run, ice bath, laundry, bloodbath & beyond -- done. Naptime!
green chile pork stew in the crockpot -- any an all are buffistas are invited to have some -- hatch chiles + beer + spices and tomatillos + pork.
This is almost my dinner! Except Trader Joes didn't have any fresh chiles, so I'm going to have to improvise with canned jalapenos. And I need to use up zucchini, so that's going in too.
Good karate class today. I'm tuckered though.
I need to go through my CSA veggies and get cooking. I have a huge squash (not obscene, though), some beans, spinach, and, ummm, some other stuff.
I so want to eat at Kat's!
I'm unnaturally excited about this cake.
I'm excited about it too. I think everyone who's been following along with the construction is excited.
For me, what I call "Irish-Jewish pot roast stew" is in the crockpot. Chuck roast cut in single serving portions, potatoes, cabbage, carrots, onions. (liguid, red wine and olive oil. Spices: salt, pepper, bay leaves, garlic, black pepper )
Still undecided: marjoram yes or no?
I say marjoram yes! But I like marjoram.
This morning I ate homemade grape jelly on bread machine wheat bread for breakfast. Then I went to the farmers market. Haul: 20 pounds of tomatoes, sweet corn, grass-fed flank steak.
Tomatoes are now sauce that is reducing. But I am now officially concerned about the concert and/or church this evening, because I think I probably have a good hour or two more just of reducing, let alone the actual canning, and the concert starts at five.
