Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

New appliance report: The root vegetables and the brussel sprouts roasted up perfectly with the oven on the convection setting and in less time than it normally takes. The farro pilaf also cooked up perfectly on the stove top.

TCG just joked that I should have broken the stove years ago.

What do I need at the store besides vinegar and distilled water? I'm thinking also milk to eat with my cookies. But I'm leaving town tomorrow, so...not things that expire.

One of those little individual milks at the register? Pasta? rice?

Compassionately intolerant

I roasted mushrooms and cauliflower today...so amazingly yummy!

Also chicken/leek/mushroom soup. So delish. Plus, beet salad and cranberry sauce.

I'm set for days!

Hmm. Then again, i would have to get dressed, to go to the store. It may wait.

I made that chickpea soup that JZ linked to here or in Natter, and it was good. I'll probably add carrots the next time I make it, but I like futzing with recipes.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Dale Earnhardt Jr just won the Daytona 500 and I'm kinda emotional. He was totally Dad's driver. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about racing this year.
