We are babysitting the dojo kids for the first time in a long while. The baby boy I used to watch is now 4 and in pre-K. His baby sister will be 2 in January. They are so big. Kids grow up WAY too fast.

I'm still trying to imagine what one might describe as "figuratively fried octopus".

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
They fry a squid that's missing two tentacles.

Oh, I've been meaning to ask:
Hivemind on cookware? My frying/saucepans are all shot to hell, and I desperately need new ones. I was thinking I might just buy a whole set of things, so they all match pretty, but that's just a thought. What should I be looking for? I remember hearing vague things about nonstick being evil chemicals that will wear off and rot my brain. True? What other options are there besides like, cast iron? If I don't get nonstick, won't my pans be hella hard to clean? What are the secret codewords I should be looking for?

Oh, yeah, like it's finals week and he hasn't been sleeping much and he just can't get that damn pickle jar to open! That would really fry his tentacles.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

meara, I think that Teflon rotting your brain is nonsense BUT anodized nonstick cookware is supposed to last longer than coated and is dishwasher safe and stuff. That's mostly what I have for non stick stuff and it's pretty nice. If you can wait until December Meyer has their annual warehouse sale with 30% off everything in stock, could make for significant savings on a whole set. Potsandpans.com has the sale, too, I think, but the warehouse is near me so I just go in person.
