I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

there's always assorted leftovers in the fridge, and then you never know how old something is or what's in what container

Should I admit that I label every container with contents and date and keep a refrigerator inventory database with estimated expiration dates? So I can know without looking that the only things currently in my fridge are: half an onion that should have been eaten a week ago, 10 eggs, a stick of butter, and peanut butter.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Now I want to see a suit made of bull penises.

I don't think those go to waste, as there's a large market for bully/macho sticks out there.

Daisy went through two big ones on the drive home with her. Now we stick to trachea. Takes longer for her to chow down.

Cow taint trousers. That's what we really need.

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

You know, if someone was lurking today, I think it might be more offputting than yesterday. Or perhaps I'm just inured to duck sex.

Should I admit that I label every container with contents and date and keep a refrigerator inventory database with estimated expiration dates?

I just stick stuff in my fridge until I'm pretty sure it's expired and then I toss it. It's a pretty simple methodology to implement.

I do that a lot with leftovers.

Last weekend I finally gave up on the quinoa (8 weeks old?) and the chicken-and-lentils (at least a month old), and tossed them. Happily, we have city composting, so at least it didn't end up in landfill or clogging up the waste-water treatment system...

Next weekend I will probably have to retire the tomato and basil salad I made the other night.

Really, I would be much better off to just freeze the stuff. At least I remember to do that with the ends of bread loaves. Once I have enough, I make bread pudding.

All I know is that while I was at PT being stuck with needles, y'all went nuts. I clicked the link. Then I read some of the conversation out to the kids. I had to share the WTF.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Should I admit that I label every container with contents and date and keep a refrigerator inventory database with estimated expiration dates?

That is super impressive.

I am currently pleased with myself that I took something out of the freezer for dinner instead of buying crap. And it was labeled: Chili 5/11.

Because books.

Duck penises (I really want that word to be penii) seem so quaintly innocent compared to cow teat dresses. Or bull anus trousers.

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

One of the things I identified as a migraine trigger was meat that wasn't cooked within about a day of purchase. I'm blanking on what the chemical that's produced is called, but it makes my head hurt. I had to try and explain that to the sleep psych and she looked at me like I was weird, and why wasn't chocolate or aged cheese a trigger?

Aged cheese might be. I don't eat it, I think.

Super duper impressive.

I made lentils and rice today... separately, but I combine them, but they won't last long enough to go bad. I'm pretty good about eating up all my leftovers. I tend to let raw veggies go bad way too often, though.

I hope this sleep psych turns out to be helpful and not just annoying.
