Nope. Pre-made fresh stuff that is purchased at the meat and fish counters never come with instructions. WHICH IS VERY FRUSTRATING.

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

Pan-fry, not too high of heat. Flip til nicely brown on both sides.

My 6th period is taste testing chocolate including ones with cracked pepper, chili, bacon, beef jerky and BBQ potato chips.

I've tried most of those. I made bacon fudge for my last dinner and Downton.

Jesse, your new place moves fast! Where I work, from interviewing to hiring often takes weeks.

I just saw Michael Ondaatje speak. (Except I was in the overflow room.) It was so great. I want to write novels and travel the world and listen to jazz now.

Thank you, Cass!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, it feels crazy fast to me, but it was actually four steps, each a week apart.

Ugh, sara. Teeth are the worst. Is our new piecemeal way really better than false teeth? I wonder. (I mean, I assume that's why so few people have dentures now, compared to my grandparents' generation. Fluoride and whatever has to be part of it, too, I guess.)

Also your dinner sounds delicious, Jilli.

Mine took three months from tentative hire to a start date. And six weeks more until I actually was finally cleared. Totally stress free. Not.

I was actually kind of hoping the position wasn't in the budget until January -- that would have been a lot easier for me! I move in two weeks, start the new job two weeks after that. Two weeks after that is Christmas, when I'll have a week off.

Having had a large number of teeth extracted at once (babyteeth that weren't budging,) I definitely prefer this approach. And given the issues my grandparents had with their dentures, uhck.

Besides, the impact of crowns now are so much better than even 30 years ago. My mother has a 4 tooth bridge of that vintage from where a smaller bridge over a pulled tooth from a decade before ended up ruining the other 3. And her dentist is just champing at the bit to replace it with individual crowns or implants. (He may just get his wish, she needed a rootcanal in one of those teeth, and they still aren't sure if they can save the bridge/what it will do to the other 3.) At least each of these crowns of mine only impacts its tooth!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That does sound hectic, Jesse, but then you'll start the new year in your new place and with a new job, which sounds pretty good.

True fact.

You know how some people wish they didn't have to eat? I wish I didn't have to have teeth. And mine aren't that bad!
