Go home, ita.

Me, I am at home before a three-day weekend during which I will cook meals for a dozen semi-strangers, and watch Foyle's War, and plot a story I signed up to write (as a pinch-hitter).

What should I do with a couple of pounds of freezer-burned tri-tip? I'm thinking bulgogi. Soy and sesame and ginger solve a multitude of evils...

Spicy stew of some sort, maybe? I don't know if cooking a long time would help or hurt, but my instinct with questionable quality meat is to cook it forever.

Low and slow, I would think, right?

Right.

sara, I take it Cherno Inferno is the FOAF? She was my MOH.

The reason for all the comments is breaking my arm! My first broken extremity, and my first (nondental) surgery is Monday. Typing is hard and the xray is kinda gruesome.

Most of the time, I'm fine with eating gluten-free. But sometimes, like right now, I JUST WANT TOAST. There is no substitute for toast.

that is the tempo.

end result of the night is me wondering if I have some undiagnosed mental illness that may be the root cause of my instability. I am not on webmd yet, though. surely therapists over the last 10 years would have suspected something more than low-grade depression and anxiety, right?

You're a single parent with an often challenging child, who recently moved to a new (sort of) state after years in NYC, and you're working for an asshole who likes to be a bully. The stress alone has to be incredible. There is no secret mental illness hiding in there, seriously.

I think it's generally wiser to trust the experts that have met you and treated you over Dr. Google, yeah. Stuff that is out of our control happens. Kind of a lot, really.

Melissa? YES. How the hell?? What's the connection to Boise or gender studies or B'more?
