I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aw, that sounds nice.

I have matzo ball soup on the stove. I made an enormous amount of stock from 3 roasted chicken carcasses and a stewing hen and it smells so good.

Oh, I have an ear of corn that needs eating!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, that reminds me, I have to bottle the stock I made yesterday. It's in the fridge so I can pull the fat off.

My neighbor is driving nails into the walls. Because you are driving into plaster and brick, it kinda sounds like it is in my house. Loki is very, very confused.

ION, out of curiosity, I went researching lightning and indoor pools. Turns out Md is one of only 6 states that requires pools to close, though Montgomery county seems to have an exception. However, Y policy appears to have a closure policy There's never been a documented fatality from lightning at an indoor pool. Injuries seem to be related to electrical damage to equipment or to the structure itself, but not threat to actual people in the pool.

Grrrrr.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Tattoo consultation results: the design needs a few minor tweaks (enlarging the heads of the keys so the dates can be done clearly and with no bleed-through of linework), and my tattooist does NOT use UV ink. (He then said consolingly, "But I've got a kick-ass pink that you'd really like ...")

The appointment has been scheduled for the evening of Saturday, Sept. 8th.

Also, he was wearing one of the best Harry Potter t-shirts I've ever seen: [link]

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

For me eggplant is more a texture issue. Along with mushrooms. And sometimes squash, depending on how it's cooked.

meara's texture issues are mine. Most mushrooms will actually trigger a gag reflex from texture alone.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I always avoid eggplant. Not because I’m allergic; just because it’s really, really gross.

More baba ganoush for me! Though I freely admit that making it from scratch was the worst cooking experience of my life.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If it's after 10pm, and there are eleventy-zillion kids outside my window shouting "SHUT UP!!!" at each other loud enough for me to hear it on the fourth floor as if they're standing in my living room....am I within my rights to start shouting it back at them?

Seriously, parents in whichever building that is, your kids are too damn loud.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You're a failure if you don't turn the hose on them.
