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?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

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.

Okay, structural integrity issues with cake. Must go get a drill to fix.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Anyone else ever have a transaction cancelled on eBay for no specified reason? I paid via PayPal, which has my correct address. Then she emailed me that the gloves had been returned; turned out she'd used a completely wrong address. I gave her the right address, and now, two weeks later, she's cancelled the transaction, with apologies and no explanation. If she can't send the gloves, okay, but I'd like to know why I'm not getting what I bought and paid for.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

contact the seller and say so. if you are still dissatisfied, contact ebay. this is not supposed to occur.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

She may be worried about getting negative marks from you because of the delay, and decided to cancel rather than risk that.

Art Crawl!!!

Kat - I can't wait to see that cake!

Also - I'm watching horseracing on versus and am amused by the many different ways that people are pronouncing Havre de Grace. Generally - some variation of the French or the Maryland - and often a combination of the two.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Challenging county fair parade today. The roller derby team skated but it started raining--then DOWNPOUR on the route. I managed to get my skates off but walked the whole thing handing out candy in the pouring rain.

My pads are soaked. I took the skates apart and cleaned, dried and oiled the wheels and bearings. I'm getting ready to put my gear in the dryer.

My cheap skate bag is toast. I need to find a new one.
