Glad to hear it, Maria! Get well soon.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I cannot see the words "Destiel is canon" without laughing, and you have officially seen it in the second funniest place (do they have public loos at the Vatican?), Sue.
I think I will try orange with the muffins next time, and use the light agave syrup instead of dark (I was swapping for brown sugar, so I thought...but no). These are totally tasty enough for me to snarf, unlike the last batch which you could tell wouldn't keep well, not even well enough for tea revivification. Don't want to depend on butter as fat, though, because I'd like to be able to eat them right out of the fridge. And I don't mind nutty flavour, I just don't like the consistency of nuts in most things. Will juggle suggestions accordingly--thanks!
If you're sizing a meal, how many ounces of meat (beef in this example, pot roast to be specific) do you estimate per adult?
Also, could you help a sister out? Mine, to be precise? She's looking for a good pesto recipe, but I dislike pesto, so I don't have anything to offer her. Please to assist?
Are there any other Buffistas in mid to finishing trips? What's with this timing anyway?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Does your sister prefer vague ideas or really specific recipes?
3 oz meat is the vague guideline. I go between 2 and 4 depending on what I'm making, what I am making with it and how delicious and vaguely healthy it is. I cook in ranges.

I say 4 oz.

Because books.
A nutritionist taught me that 3 oz. of meat should look roughly like a pack of playing cards. Which is probably enough, but a lot of adults are going to eat closer to 6-7 oz. at a meal. I'd go 4-5 per person as an average and expect some leftovers.

Maria,
welcome back! I had no idea you were away, but glad to know you had a decent enough time and are back.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Glad you're home safe, Maria, even if sick, and glad you're glad you went on the trip!

Just sitting down to watch Downton Abbey. Still thinking about my attic. Maybe I'll use that ladder improperly after all.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
If it's any consolation, I use my ladder improperly for that very purpose and I have yet to have died tragically. However, I did once nearly kick it over while returning down. So.

I think a fairly specific recipe would be best for her. I didn't get the impression she's made pesto before.
The recipe I used for this pot roast seems to assume at least eight ounces of beef per person. Even to someone who's not thinking about the weight of the serving, when the butcher hands you that parcel of meat, that's more than a small dinner party worth of cow. The recipe doesn't have to fill the slow cooker, fer crissakes.
