"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Sheesh Tom, that's no fun.

I was just indecisive, which one cannot afford to be with jelly. I ended up making two separate batches, each with its own kind of pectin. And then I was going to do water bath and it was taking too long so I took the water out to do pressure canning, and then it took too long for the dishwasher so I put the water back in. Yeah. But it's done now.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

One of the buildings at the end of my block is having a party that is so loud it sounds like there is someone standing in my living room with a boom box. I know there are certain compromises one makes when one chooses to live in the city, but SERIOUSLY TURN IT THE FUCK DOWN.

I just ate too much quinoa salad. I had like 1.5 servings left, so ate it all. I should have made it two small servings. Ah well. Quinoa babies.

this exact thing has happened to me.

Our wings are not tired.

Horrible flight, 3 1/2 hours late. I suppose I was due...

And yet, I bet it was still a better day than last Saturday~!Of course last Saturday did end on a nice note, checking out that cool new Vietnamese place Miss Walker found. But still, most of that day sucked.

I am HOME! And my Wigglebutts are BACK! Still a lot of repairs to do, so I'll be camping out on my couch and living out of luggage but STILL. My backyard! My kitchen! My dogs!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Just made super cheesy risotto with broccoli. It was good.

But not as good as Perkins' bday dinner last night!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Give the dogs a scritch for me, javachik.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I know there are certain compromises one makes when one chooses to live in the city, but SERIOUSLY TURN IT THE FUCK DOWN.

I live out in the country, and I'm still listening to my neighbor's band practice.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I kind of feel like making homemade Fig Newtons with fresh figs is a waste of figs. Goat cheese + squished out fig + baguette = heaven.

Really? Because I'm not really much of a fig eater. But Noah will eat them as fig newtons. This is what happens when things show up in the CSA box. I've also made a ton of baba ganoush with eggplant. I'm stretching culinarily!

Also made: an ale, cheddar, cauliflower and green chile soup that is heaven. I have embraced the cornstarch trick and it helps the cheese melt.

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

And I am ordering in mediocre sushi and being appalled at the unrelated deadlines I need to meet Monday.
