anchovies are hairy. ewwwww.

HAIRY? Aren't they fish? How are fish hairy? The talk of saltiness was making me consider trying them, but ew. Hairy cancels out salty.

One of my goddamned girlcats just managed to fuckup the work I've been doing. I don't even know how bad but my db person can fix in the morning. But GODDAMNIT. Stupid heatseekers.

Dear cats, don't mess with mom's work.

Lee, the Del Taco is near Civic Center on Market.

I don't know if I'd like this cocktail, but it made me think of DavidS and Jilli, so I'm posting it

Intriguing! Yeah, I've seen a lot of fancy mixologists doing stuff with tea because it's basically another infusion and they do those all the time anyway.

I get the greasy/cheesy Taco Bell love, though I'm kind of avoiding Fast Food Fake Meat since the pink slime made me Think About My Choices.

I know this sounds weird, but taking my cue from the food trucks I've been satisfying that cheap food craving with tacos I make with Trader Joe's turkey meatballs. (With Srichacha sauce, melted cheese on the tortilla and baby spinach.) It's really good, and turkey meatballs are savory and delish but easy on my getting-older-objecting-to-red-meat stomach.

I kinda think I would like it? I don't know, I have Gin Issues. As in, there's something about gin that makes me scrunch my nose up and be not sure if I like it. Which is ridiculous, because I love the juniper soda that Dry Soda makes.

I've been enjoying browsing the 1940 Census all day! I'm very frustrated with Chicago, though, because although I found a map that I THINK shows my grandparents' neighborhood (I'm not sure they actually lived there yet), I can't figure out what census tract it then was.

I'd totally order that cocktail and have Jilli take a sip. There'd be nose scrunching all around for various bits of it. But it still sounds like it might really work. Or horrify all parties. But that is part of experimentation... You do risk squinchyface though. I wonder if it might end up too floral for me.

But just avoiding fast food meat doesn't really avoid the potential for pink slimeness, no? I mean, fast food meat is more likely to not be animal bits at all and I don't really mind some TVP in my "meat." The creepy factor with the lean finely textured beef is that it can show up in a lot of ground beef like you'd buy at reputable supermarkets. Though possibly with JZ at home, you don't ever deal with buying ground beef.

If I focus (and, fuck, it takes a whole day of me not focusing to get to the hour or two of laser focus), I can pack for a longish weekend with family really quickly. Once I do laundry and figure out what to wear for a 45th surprise birthday party for my brother and then do NOT try to fix jewelry with tube of Advantage that I mistook for superglue briefly. Instead I stuck the stray sparkly bits in an old clean makeup jar with candle wax. Dad will have superglue that isn't all dried out like the tube I finally did find.

Of course I will then realize that I missed packing a pair of shoes.

And bras.

OMG, I nearly failed to pack bras! That would have been an expensive mistake. There is no faking that kind of thing.

For what it's worth, those are tiny, tiny bones, not hair.
