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

How old and how tall is he now, Hec?

He turns 16 in September. He's already six feet tall. Maybe a little more.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

What I made:

Each batch has 4-6 servings.

3 batches of cajun chicken (will be grilled or baked)
1 batch of jumbalaya (to be baked)
2 batches of garlic and parsley chicken, with breadcrumbs (to be sauteed)
1 batch of honey lime chicken (to be baked or grilled)
2 batches of parmesan crusted chicken (to be baked or grilled)
2 batches of herb crusted pork chops (to be baked or grilled)
3 trays of black bean and beef tortilla casserole with bonus hatch chiles from the freezer (to be baked). Each tray is probably 2 meals.
1 batch of herb crusted flank steak, to be grilled tomorrow.

Wow! That's awesome. That's a lot of work.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I do not even know how you prep all that. Now I feel all lazy that I didn't manage to bake one batch of muffins.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I am... not doing too great with the uncertainty of the Isaac's projected path and the conflicting advice on staying or going. I'm actually incredibly tense and also scared. People are now saying to start evacuating tomorrow... I'm nervous about being able to get out of here if we decide to... I would prefer to stay but I know Tom wants to evacuate... and, in conclusion, ugh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't wrap my head around that, Kat.

Who advises not to evacuate, Nora?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That's amazing, Kat. I don't cook that much meat in a year.

Nora, aren't they recommending evacuation in low lying areas?

Look what I missed by not working this weekend! [link] I don't know if this was for a movie or a TV show. Chicago Fire and some Bollywood movie have both been filming in the loop recently.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Can you prepare to evacuate, but then not evacuate until later when you feel like you should?

Wow, aurelia. That would have been interesting to watch.
