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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That sounds delightful, Laura (the menu and the company). I'll be hitting a bar and a restaurant with amyth and some mutual buds tonight.

I picked up a cookbook from a local Persian restaurant, which led to wandering around a Persian grocery for exotic (to me) ingredients like pomegranate syrup, saffron, and tahini. We'll see if I can turn these into food in my kitchen at some point.

Our wings are not tired.

Yum, Calli. I love trying new recipes.

The Sage Restaurant cookbook. [link] It's something a local restaurant self-published. [link]

Cool. I'd recommend the Food of Life cookbook if you get further interested in Persian cuisine.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Mom gave us this tagine link for Christmas. It came with a teeny tiny recipe book, but I need to find a larger book on either Moroccan cuisine or a book specifically about using a tagine to cook.

Thanks, SuziQ. I adore Sage's osh, so that'll be my first thing to try.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I think house guests are done. The closet is constructed. Just needs painting, which I'll do on a warmer day when I can open windows for fresh air. Fridge has been leveled (it was a little off kilter, and closing rapidly on you. Most annoying). And the washer dryer leveled too. Now, it's time to relax. Which is good, my spoons were running low.

Laura, you are in most excellent company. And I envy the meal y'all are eating. YUM!

The status is NOT quo.

Laura's meal was amazing! We then went out for a couple of hours on their boat on the intercostal, which was also pretty fantastic. Laura and her family rock.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

It is like a snow factory up in here! I can't even. Like, just trying to deal with snow as a reality is so weird. And it wasn't that long ago that I did so... probably I just hated it so much, that having to do so now bugs?

Man, I drank a bunch of beer though.

This trip is weird but I don't know if processing will ever occur. Can't wait to be home again (though I'm doing OK on the trip, not miserable or anything.)
