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.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

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.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This is pretty. Judge as red carpet wear, but this is a consummate professional, not that puling child Stewart.

I'd love Dita to give Stewart lessons. By which I mean porn.
