We're in London! We went to the Tate Modern yesterday and also had dinner there overlooking the city. It was gorgeous! I'll probably only be popping in every once in a while because internet access is pricey.
You all gonna be here when I wake up?

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.

Our wings are not tired.
Yay! Thanks for letting us know you arrived, sj. Enjoy!
smonster, I totally understand about the stupid. I have employees that are all out crazy, mightily eccentric, and even high maintenance emotional. But I won't and can't deal with the stupid. Can't deal with it.

Hey. New board.
I would like to make a delicious fall suggestion for you all. Last night I made a pumpkin pie (testing out recipes for Thanksgiving and, also, loving pumpkin pie) and had some extra filling that didn't fit in my crust. So I baked it alone in a crock, yum. This morning, for breakfast? Toast with cooked pumpkin pie filling spread on it like jelly. Utterly delicious.

Hey. New board.
Cereal to say that if you mix some of the cooked pumpkin pie filling with milk (about 2 tablespoons per serving), a little extra sugar, and a teensy bit of vanilla extract and heat it on the stove, you can mix it with strong coffee to make a pumpkin spice latte at least as good as Starbucks'. Yum.

Speaking of pumpkin, I'll note that Trader Joe's was handing out samples of their pumpkin souffle last week and it was really delicious.

I'm discovering, once again, that hypoglycemia and Judaism don't mix too well on fast days. I'm way too dizzy to feel safe driving, so I'm trying to decide whether fasting or synagogue is more important today, since I can't do both.

I would say synagogue is more important. Eat.

Yeah, but I'd feel weird saying all the prayers about fasting when I'd already eaten. I can read some of the readings at home, I guess.
