'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I don't Cook so much as I Heat, so microwaves are fine by me.

My tip o' the day: never use plastic containers to heat anything in the microwave, since there are all sorts of bad molecules that can get released into your food. I'm lazy-efficient, so taking the extra step to remove something from the Tupperware into a perfectly clean plate or dish is a step that pains me a little. Also, don't cover your dish with plastic wrap -- use wax paper or a paper towel instead.

I've given it some thought, and I'm going to err on the side of caution -- I know Europe is a lot stricter about plastic/food interaction, so I'm going to trust my IKEA 'tupperware'. The FDA isn't what it used to be, especially in being able to check enough plastic imported from China to be sure what the hell is in it.

Bottom line for me: I don't trust anything from China that goes in/near enough your body, including toothpaste and plastics that hold your food.

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

I'm so cavalier about that. But I am pretty cavalier about food safety in general. Good thing I rarely feed anyone but myself.

Are they indoor only kitties now, Matt?

Cranberry sauce #2 still not set up. I should not have signed up for this dish for tomorrow's potluck.

Aaaaand no internet at home except on my phone. Great. Maybe it will magically fix itself while I'm at work.

Have I mentioned to you guys that my interview is this Friday? This will be a week of flailing. I am totally swinging from excitement to panic to guilt to "oh my god, what am I doing." Sometimes within seconds. Right now I have to find a working headset to see if I can do this video interview from home.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Wow! I'm cheering for you - I think it is so great that you've applied for this job.

Crossing fingers, Sue. Remember, an interview is also an opportunity for you to interview them to see if they're good enough for you to work for.

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

I don't trust anything from China that goes in/near enough your body

And...there goes acupuncture...

Sue, may this be an amazing experience.
