I'm really just trying to find up if it hardens up as much as cold butter so I know what the upper limit on the texture is--stiffer than butter or not.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

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

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Well, it could be, but it looks more like bites. Fairly random, mostly on the torso. Either bites or a mild viral rash.
Huh. Torso seems like the least accessible bite spot. I know that my eczema is itchy and pops up little blister bumps that kinda look like my lesser inflamed bites do which is what made me wonder.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't think it gets as hard as butter.
So I went to speed dating. It was fine, although I left early because I had a gap (more women than men there) and I was fading, and the last couple of guys were short. Among other things. I was definitely the oldest person in the room, but it was fine. I wrote down some guys I would see again, but am not actually interested in any of them - just, I would have another conversation. One of them lives around the corner from me! So that would be easy, if nothing else. But now I'm exhausted and up too late and don't want to go to work tomorrow.
The end.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I had bed bugs in NYC and you have my sympathies. It was psychologically really difficult but went away eventually. If no one mentioned it yet, tape around the bed legs.
Are ninja socks toe socks? I wear those for long runs.

Just got a text from KCD's wife (need to come up with a nickname for her - KCDW?). She is taking tomorrow off to come help us. It is her son's birthday and she needs a distraction. (Her kids, who are about the same ages as mine, moved out last Christmas over various issues and have not talked to her much since.)

Aw, that's really nice of her to help, Suzi. I hope things go well and quickly resolve.
When I was young, Crisco seemed to be part of all cookie recipes. We used margarine as a spread, and Crisco in cookies
Y'know, I have no recollection of USING crisco for anything growing up, but I know we HAD it. Nowadays, I do not own any, and don't know what I"d use it for. I guess in theory pie crust, except I generally just buy crust, rather than making it.

My favorite easy bar cookies call for melted Crisco/shortening. And shortening makes my pie crusts flakey.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
My kids' spots are definitely on inaccessible areas, like torso and crotch. Not areas that have been exposed. It's disturbing.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
My mother makes great pie crusts with Crisco, although a good part of her success is 60 years of making pie crust. The now defunct Swift'ning, which was part lard, made better pie crust, but it died in one of the fat wars. Crisco was recently reformulated to be lower in transfats (it could hardly be higher), and it seems to cook about the same for her.
Current science says lard is better for you than the partially hydrogenated shortenings like Crisco that replaced it. I'm waiting for butter and sugar to become health foods.
