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

Ha! No, it was a non-buffista Floridian, but he didn't give me an alternative. That's what my mom has in her yard, though. At least I think so - they're small, thin-skinned, sweet, practically yellow limes.

Yeah, yeah, biology is a subset of chemistry is a subset of physics which is just applied math. I don't see how it applies to our friend the lime cordial - the ingredients are just sitting there, not fermenting or cooking or apparently doing anything, yet something clearly happens because it tastes different. Mysterious.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My friend Organic Chemistry and his buddies Hormones and Neurotransmitters would like to have a little talk with you.

I'd like to have a little talk with Hormones and Neurotransmitters myself. Send them on over here. Tell them to bring chocolate.

That sounds like Key Limes to me.

Here you go.

Oooh! Cool science designs!

Today's chili does not taste like tomorrow's chili.

I'm making vegetarian chili right now, and it better be fucking great.

(buying two bottles of gin, one of vodka, and some cheese at 10am on Sunday is apparently my lifestyle now)

I don't even know if I can buy booze at 10am on Sunday here. And since I was thinking about it, I had to check. Nope, can't buy alcohol until 11am on Sundays.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Plei and I went and had pedicures today! My toes are black with OPI's Divine Swine over it. Pink and fuchsia glitter with larger silver glitter! My toes are very sparkly. Then we browsed through some consignment boutiques, and went for a small amount of tapas and drinky-drinks. Mmm, Death in the Afternoon.

I know where you were for most of that and I am jealous. I adore that bar.

You will laugh, but that's the other color I was considering.

I am not a bit surprised.

I made pasta sauce using beef neckbones that I braised in the oven for two hours. I deboned and shredded the beef then added it to the cooked down braising liquid and put it over some homemade gnocchi.

We will take you back the next time you're up here, I promise.

That sounds delicious, Vortex! Also, I would kind of like a Stephtini now. Or some of -t's lime cordial. Mm. I just had my leftovers from last night's dinner--one goat-cheese stuffed date, and some tagliatelle with peas and greens and rabbit.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I just had dinner - and it was great but suddenly I am hungry
