Jesse, I have a recipe for Avocado and Jalapeno Stuffed Eggs if you want it. Also Chipotle Chile; Anchovy with Capers; Smoked Salmon and Potato with Caviar; Italian Tuna; and Cream Cheese and Chutney if any of those appeal.

t /belated ita and Ginger font Sorry about that, y'all, I knew better.

My apartment is a hundred fucking degrees, because I refuse to put on the a/c. I may go to the supermarket to cool off.

You know what's less effort, and doesn't require you leaving the house? TURN ON THE A/C.

t you may opt to respect your electric bill more than I respect mine

t but a/c really is the bomb diggety

Thanks, -t! The gist is probably plenty -- I never use measurements, anyway.

Steph, the other half of my problem is the dreaded smoking, which I do in the house, but with the window open. I want to have a window open half the time anyway, so it doesn't make any sense to cool off the apartment before bedtime.

I guess running the A/C with a window open is crazytown bananapants? I ask while currently not running my own swamp cooler because when we took it apart a couple of weekends ago it turned out the pump was burnt out and fixing the loudly rattling fan is way more complicated than I thought because someone has welded it in spots and other spots the metal has actually broken and probably the whole thing should just be replaced but that is too big a job for me to think about right now. So I'm hot. Maybe I'll go to the movies this weekend, soak up their cold air.

The gist is pretty much like you would guess - minced jalapeno, mashed avocado, cilantro that I'm sure could be left out depending on one's preferences, green onions, lime juice. No mayo needed, because of the avocado, is the main thing.

I think so! When I'm paying for electric, for sure.

Fair enough. Heat sometimes make you do the wacky, is all I'm saying.

I think so! When I'm paying for electric, for sure.

Don't think of it as paying for electric; think of it as paying for a smoke.

Congrats on the job changes, -t!

-t, that's most excellent!

I hope I don't have to take a drug test in the near future. If I did, I'd see if I could get a medical marijuana card just so I could pop as many flags as possible.

Dana, can the internet people message your husband "::shrug:: she did tell you so"? I think that's a service I could provide.

Watching Prometheus a couple weekends after watching Shame is...weirdness.

Oh, yay. Tornado sirens.
