'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"

Podiatrist seen, and showed me on the Xray just how many pieces my middle big toe bone (he used a fancy science term for it) had shattered into. The good news is that it was all broken in the middle, which means that the tricky between-bone places (another sciency term) was all OK, which means there probably won't be any long-term consequences like arthritis, and it should heal cleanly.

Also bad news: it will take 4-6 weeks to be fully healed.

Also-also bad news: No clutching with my left foot for most of that, so I won't be able to use my car. I am looking into Zipcar, which has several nearby parking spaces so that I'll be able to go grocery shopping and so on.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

The Japanese version is sweet black beans. Which the so hates, so he used to swallow one like a pill every year to keep my grandmother happy.

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

Yikes, Theo! Well, the good news is pretty good, all things considered. I hope Zipcar works out for you.

Ooh, I have the ingredients for roast pork, I think.

I have maple bacon in my freezer with which I will make bacon fudge for tomorrow's Sherlock viewing.

Yum!

Eat it with cheese!

Can you tell I don't have much actual work today?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm thinking of ordering Chinese food delivery. Then I can have the traditional NYE meal of, um, fried rice and wonton soup. Yeah. Oh, and then I'll get a fortune cookie (or six, they're generous with them) and I'll know my fortune for the year! Good; plan made.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

That sounds like an excellent plan.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Can you tell I don't have much actual work today?

Until this morning, there was a pile of papers and other stuff that had been on my desk since before I started. It's gone now.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm making veggie burger sliders. They're "caribbean" style, which pretty much just means that there's Jamaican curry powder in them. They're supposed to be served with nectarine salsa, but I didn't feel like making it, so I'm serving them with mango chutney instead. They've got mushed-up black-eyed peas as one of the ingredients, so I guess that counts.

OK, gotta go make bread dough. But first, have a totally wonderful short animated film about a knight and a princess and a dragon. The animation is awesome.
