It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Allyson, have you read Touched with Fire?
No? Any good?

It's a great book written by a clinical psychologist. The in-depth research of creative famous people based on a lot of resources. I've noticed my creative output greatly reduced since I've been medicated for cyclothemia (mild bi-polar). Lord Byron, Van Gogh and several other poets, painters and musicians throughout history have manic, highly productive cycles followed by long periods of depression and lulls in productivity.

It's a fascinating subject.

The one trick I've learned with meatloaf is to add bread or breadcrumbs to it. It creates a nicer texture.

My trick is no bread crumbs, but lots of bleu cheese!

My mind is blown. Is there also onion?

We always used oatmeal instead of breadcrumbs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I like cupcakes. I like meatloaf. I think these are an abomination:

I love those! But it has been documented here that I love meatcakes. I should make some! I think I just use breadcrumbs, grated onion, an egg, and worcestershire sauce.

Now I might have to make meatloaf this weekend.

Because books.

I was thinking about Jesse's meatcakes, actually.

We make very old-school meatloaf -- bread crumbs, egg, a little ketchup, a little Worcestershire, onion and garlic.

One of my favorite leftover meals is mashed potatoes with the usual toppings (butter!), turkey (dark meat!,) corn, stuffing, and cranberry sauce all mixed up. It's weird, because usually I am kinda anti-mixy. But that is so good.

Sara, you are the reason for that horrifying KFC bowl. I'm just saying.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

sara, that sounds good.

ION, I have the morning off AIFG. I went to the Paul Simon concert (OMG so, so fabulous) last night, so I decided that I was better off not trying to get into work at o'dark early as I usually would. I would have taken the whole day off, but there is a meeting this afternoon where my presence is not optional.
