'Him'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
After smonster brought me to the car rental place, Tom and I went to have a Taiwanese brunch on a bridge over the St. John Bayou, then stopped for a couple beers at the Avenue Pub, and then came home and cleaned A Bunch Of The Things. Enough so I don't hate myself come tonight.
Just need to get our broken car to the mechanic's tomorrow morning and then deal with all that. Fingers crossed for a cheap fix.
How was the brunch? Courtyard is low-key today, which suits me. eta y'all should come by. I brought a six pack of Abita pecan, and you know I'm not gonna drink it.
smonster, sweet tea and lemonade is one of my fave drinks. If you like cranberry, cran and a lime added to the mix is pretty fantstic, too!
Ok, I went with the DiorShow. I tried it, it looked pretty, and it is my reward.
I also got my brows waxed, but that's because I'm going to the show, and I had that in my "all my writing money has gone to bills, so I am getting my brows waxed, dammit" fund.
And I mentioned to the makeup artist that I was a writer and going to do a article on the merits of different serums and moisturizers, and she HOOKED me up with samples. A BAG full of Tarte, Perricone, Murad, Dr. Brandt, Lancome and a couple of others I can remember. So I'll be testing different products over the next month or so, and then writing an article to try to get placed on a beauty blog or mag. AWE-some.
And I went to TJ's, scored some bananas, chocolate covered almonds, butter (cheap! their butter is cheap!), milk and some Cuban pork plantain masaitas(sp?) that they had samples of for dinner.
So, to work on some stuff for a bit, then dinner, The Walking Dead and a little more work after.
GREAT weekend, y'all. Productive, tiring yet also relaxing.
Nora, I hope the car gets fixed for a minimum amount of money and time!
cheap! their butter is cheap!
Seriously? I never think to look at TJs for butter, and I am going through it like wildfire because I've been baking a lot. I'm going to put that on my TJs list as soon as I get off the couch.
TJs is god.
Milk, butter, eggs. I am out of those every week. I need a butter and egg man.
Don't sweat about the protest. With luck, there will be more!
I... I think I need that as a tagline. Shir, may I have it?
Job~ma, quester.
Lots of hugs all around. It's good to see Aims and Seska and Shir around.
Hil, I hope your fever/cold/ick gets better soon.
Oh, yeah, we burn through eggs, too. Between me baking and weekend scrambled egg breakfasts (or sometimes scrambled egg dinner*, like tonight), we usually get a dozen a week. Sometimes we make it 2 weeks, but generally not.
*Scrambled egg dinner reminded me -- when I was a kid, my mom would make scrambled eggs to go with Leftover Night (because there was usually 1 serving -- or less -- of any given leftover, so the scrambled eggs sort of filled in the gaps). And she would cut up hot dogs, fry the pieces in the pan first, and then scramble the eggs with the hot dogs. And as an adult, had I never heard of the concept before, if someone were to try to feed me hot-dog eggs, I would run away. But I associate them with being a kid, and I remember loving them, so I often wish I had some hot dogs in my eggs.
Also Mrs. Paul's fish sticks. Er, not with eggs. But they're food I ate as a kid that I wouldn't eat now if I were just being introduced to it, but because I ate it as a kid, I really want fish sticks (and tater tots) from time to time.
Hot dog pie! Did you ever have that, Steph? I think it's a midwestern thing. It's basically eggs and noodles and probably cottage cheese or something baked in a casserole with cut up hot dogs. Nom. Awful, but nom.

That's really not that different from Toad-in-the-hole.
Dag, those are some lewd looking weiners.
Erin, sounds like a totally fab weekend.
We had a minor scare - two dogs got out and we didn't realize until the game was over, but they were quickly found so all is well. Not my dog, btw.
