Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

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

Is it photoshopped?

Nope. It's a mutation.

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

Is it photoshopped?

I don't want to know what you know...

Okay, I'm working on a picture to make up for it. I swear. I have to go work.

I don't like certain rites of passage of a certain age. OTOH, as I was feeling morose about that, Pumpkin, another rite of passage (You Are Still A Sucker) leapt onto the banister to 5 steps ahead of me and ran into the bathroom, expecting I'd scoop her up and give her a mauling. So there is joy in it too.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Lisah, I'm very sorry. That sucks.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

was anyone else highly amused by the juxtaposition of ita's most recent link (NSFW) and a response to her about "morning glory muffins?"

I lost my shit laughing.

I certainly went there. And then I backed away very quickly.

"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

In other news, I am making my first attempt at braising a beef roast. I ate a full dinner hours ago and the smell of it cooking is still making my mouth water.

Question: when it's done, would there be any problem with me using the excess fluid in place of plain water for making couscous?

Matt, I shouldn't think so. It's basically beef broth.

ION, I just managed to shatter both my pyrex liquid measuring cups on the kitchen floor. Way to go! Sigh.
