I DAMN THEE, ASPIC!
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Make that seven. Some repeats. Other highlights: lime jello salad with bleu cheese and horse radish, spaghetti pie, eggplant pudding cake (grated eggplant, vanilla pudding mix, cake mix), and some tastier things. I snagged my great-grandmother's gumbo recipe.
Also, she apparently once read that 1/4 tsp ginger could be added to beans to reduce flatulence, and it's a recurring theme in many recipes. Apparently this grandma was always kind of gassy.
Mmm, marshmallows rolled in baked sweet potatoes mixed with cornflakes, and then baked again.

Thrive to spite them
I have to admit I've always wanted to try jellied chicken salad. Just to see what it was like.
I have a slight problem buying cookbooks especially when I can go to the library sale and get a bag of books for $3 (I got 8 books last time!). One of my latest acquisitions has a recipe for something called a Bacon Big Boy. Which is a french roll split with 2 hot dogs and 2 slices of cheese inside, and then wrapped in bacon slices and broiled until the bacon is cooked. It serves 1.
It just reminds me that calorie bomb recipes are not new.
And when I was in Maine I picked up 2 cookbooks from the time of WWII, one specifically for dealing with rationing. They both were geared towards introducing women to "old fashioned" cooking when "convenience foods" weren't available. Things like rediscovering how to make soups from scratch instead of relying on cans, and how beneficial and cost effective gardens are.
The wording kind of reminded of some more recent cookbooks and the idea of farm to table or planting your own garden to save money and get fresher foods.

TCG and I finally exchanged our presents tonight, and BBCA is working again so all is good in my world.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
Calli, Leifur has been great! He actually came up to me and requested pets today. Last time, it took at least four days of me being his only food source for him to do that. I think we're getting closer.
M. had a cupcake with red icing for dessert tonight, which she smeared all over her face. She looked like the toddler who survived the zombie apocalypse.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I've seen multiple jello salads every day this holiday, and I can safely say that none of them involved blue cheese.

I think I threw up in my mouth a little, and THEN I got to the eggplant pudding cake! eek!

Smonster, that's quite the recipe box.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I keep waiting to hear my mom make some horrible remark about FSIL when she's not here, but instead she keeps saying nice things about her. I just heard her tell a story about how the gods have blessed their marriage and everyone who's met her really likes her.
It's still really, really confusing to me, after all these years. I keep expecting it to all fall apart.
