Boo to Yes-Man.
Hmmm. Now I am thinking I must make brownies tonight. I have all the ingredients.
OK, brownies MAYBE if I get all my work done. Time to get cracking -- coffee is consumed, and chocolate (and, ya know, completion) is my goal!

Because books.
Now I want a brownie. Oooh, or gingerbread! Oh yeah, gingerbread. I wonder if I have what I need.
Like I have any time to bake today, but it's all I really want to do. In my glow-in-the-dark skeleton apron.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That reminds me I need to make some banana bread today.
If I wanted to tart up the banana bread with some complementary flavor, what should I use?

Dried cranberries? Salted almonds or pecans?

Banana liqueur. It amps up the banananess in a really awesome way. Only downside is you wind up with an almost-full bottle of banana schnapps to use up.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Jess, just a room humidifier? Let me go check mine (I'm working a half day due to extreme insomnia last night, and I'm still home but about to head in).

Yes, for a small bedroom. Apparently the one in our room started working again this morning, which is great timing since I've already lost my voice.

We have a lot of August babies in here. I too am a peridot and I am convinced that is the ugliest birthstone of all 12.
no competition.
I would take any other birthstone besides that one. I would even take the forelorn aquamarine as a birthstone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If I wanted to tart up the banana bread with some complementary flavor, what should I use?
Chocolate chips? The Joy recipe I use calls for lemon, which I usually don't add, and no spices, which I usually do (cinnamon, ginger).

Aw, I like peridots. At least, I like olivine and I'm told they are the same thing. But I generally like gemstones. And stones that are in no way precious. And colored glass. Pretties.
I like walnuts in banana bread but I don't know if that's a flavor so much as crunchiness. Rum? Nutmeg?
I should clean my humidifier.
