7:25 here. No kid so far.
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Jilli, nothing was better than you sitting on our porch and scaring away the teenagers on Halloween.
Oh, my. I just got the most adorable little Captain America. With a frisbee for a shield.
My cats are worn out from standing at the screen door and being impossibly cute and crying, CRYING to come out and join the fun this evening. I started rubbing Pumpkin's haid and she curled tighter to avoid it and tucked her head into Loki's butt. And he didn't even flinch. Or move.
Burrell, sorry I didn't say this earlier, but I'm so sorry about your sister. I just saw Beep me.
Thanks, Vortex.
The kids have finally made a good sized dent in the first bag of candy. phew! Favorite so far is the little green fairy who complimented my costume, so I complimented her right back.
Just had a mom full-on ToTing alongside her daughter. I was happy to oblige seeing as I still have too much candy.

I had one of those at work - so cute!
I swear I can never make the recipe on the side of the rice box successfully. Sitting for 15 minutes, bring to a boil, let simmer closed for 35 minutes. AWFUL. It's soupy and I have to let most of the rest of the water evaporate not push as steam into the kernels. I google "brown rice basmati recipe" and follow the bring to a boil, let simmer for 50 minutes...and voila! One of the best pots of rice (it's a tense relationship--I am keeping score).
And after all that (FIFTY MINUTES) I find I don't actually have the chicken I was going it with its fluffy brownness. Luckily I have survival food in the freezer, so was able to whip up something, and...the dish¹ broke in my lap!!! Why is my food fighting so hard to avoid being eaten? I MUST OM NOM. I will overcome. Ooh! And time for half brownie!
¹ The last deep plate/shallow bowl from the Kat'n'Lori housewarming startup package. I liked those! Way more interesting than anything I own, and that perfect shape for something where you need a rim to help get the food on the fork, or it's something more liquid than normal, but you need to get a knife and a fork in.
Goodbye, dear hybrid placesetting. Goodbye. You served Los Angeles well.
