Thanks, y'all!
This conversation is reminding me that I want a new large skillet for those times when you want to brown more than 2 pieces at once (my cast iron, she rocks but she is only 10 in diameter).
I got my mother a huge frying pan for Christmas a couple of years ago, and it is kind of great. It mostly lives in the attic, but when she wants to use it, it's super handy. And huge.
I woke up this morning to my cat puking blood. Yikes.
Jesse, was it a lot of blood? Or blood tinged bile? Isn't he on meds? Years ago, Pico starting vomiting blood while on antibiotics and it was because his stomach was irritated. I had to start giving him antacids before he got his meds.
(And Clio sometime throws up bloody bile after eating grass. I guess that irritates her stomach.)
I think it was just blood-tinged, but the meds he is on are totally for his stomach! So now I think maybe it's the B12 shots that helped him and less the steroids, because I've been giving him steroids at home, but not B12. He's been fine for a month until this weekend. We'll see! Bleh.
I hope Homer's okay, Jesse. Poor old guy.
Hope Homer's all right! Blood stays inside you, kitty.
I need new pans too. I usually buy them a piece at a time from Marshalls or TJMaxx. I like the ceramic nonstick ones.
I love my Dutch oven, although I can't remember the brand. Most of my other pots are pretty cut-rate, although my cast-iron skillet is seasoning nicely.
Happy birthday, Lee!
I had scheduled a meeting on Friday for today but half the attendees are out of the office, so I've rescheduled it for next week, yay. And it's an extra-short week for me because I have my regular Friday off, and tomorrow my sister & I take the day off to tour eldercare facilities.
Warp Drive May Be More Feasible Than Thought, Scientists Say
White and his colleagues have begun experimenting with a mini version of the warp drive in their laboratory.
They set up what they call the White-Juday Warp Field Interferometer at the Johnson Space Center, essentially creating a laser interferometer that instigates micro versions of space-time warps.
"We're trying to see if we can generate a very tiny instance of this in a tabletop experiment, to try to perturb space-time by one part in 10 million," White said.
He called the project a "humble experiment" compared to what would be needed for a real warp drive, but said it represents a promising first step.
Awesome! Also, I am in the wrong line of work.
