Cool; I'll give it a look-see. And now, I must do some yard work before it gets much hotter.

Yay.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oof. Got back yesterday from a weekend in Alexandria, MN, and am now back at work. My brain is still fried from the stress of all the driving and the extra sleeping pill I took last night, but it was a very fun weekend.

I was very happy yesterday. It's weird, but I'm finding myself happy more and more these days. I remember the day Obama was re-elected--I was happy that day for the first time in years. (It actually took me a bit to figure out why I was feeling so "weird.")

I've come to the conclusion that the last ten years or so have been rather bad for me. I think it was a combination of anti-depressants not working as well as they had been and me often being too depressed to call my doctor and get new ones prescribed.

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

whyfor am I scary?

Keeping your drivers in line!

tommy, I'm glad you're feeling better, and sorry you've had such a hard few years.

tommy, I am glad you are feeling better.

ION, I understand the constant beeping that smoke detectors produce when the batteries need to be changed, but I really really don't appreciate it. Especially when they wake me up. Right now I want the inventor of this to DIAF. I have been awake for hours.

I am also cursing the homeowners of this rental property because I just know those batteries are older than a year. We haven't lived here a year!

I'm glad you can see that and are coming out of it.

I remember as a child when my Mom went through a long period of depression, and being startled when I couldn't remember the last time she had smiled in the previous four years.

Me, too, very much so.

And I am working hard on recovery, too, so if you ever need support, email or phone, feel MORE than free. I know how so very hard and awful it is.

Thanks for all the support!

ION, I have started cooking again after having my landlord replace my stove. Thanks to google I've found it's very easy to make great steak by frying it--I salt the steak, wait 45 minutes and then fry it. When it's close to done I pour melted butter on both sides.

The salt tenderized the steak but also sucks the moisture out of it. But it you wait 45 minutes before cooking, the moisture goes back in. It turns out I love learning the science of cooking.

So, anyone have recommendations on books that deal with the chemistry an/or physics of cooking?
