I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

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

Oh, coconut oil - last time I made mayonnaise I used half olive oil and half coconut oil and I really like the solidity of the result. Usually my mayo seems to emulsify well enough (in the sense of not breaking, anyway) but stays more liquid than I really want it to be.

I was wondering, of the other people who were interested: did you wind up completing the course? What did you think of it? Have you signed up for any other online courses, through Coursera or EdX or such like?

I finished Dino 101 and I really liked it. There was a nice balance of video and interactive content, and each week was easy for me to do in one session. I tried to do the Science & Cooking Course on edX, but it started while I was on vacation and I never caught up.

There's a Food for Thought course coming up soon that looked interesting: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I know this is inappropriate, but I really don't understand why Michelle Dockery never hoists up her boobs.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

In life or on Downton? On Downton I think it is the style.

Birmingham schools cancelled school for Monday. On Friday night. They're supposed to have the temp drop 40° overnight tonight, rain turning to snow and not get above freezing again until Weds.

Yeah, Nashville's in a pretty similar situation. On Friday they closed the city schools through Tuesday (!), which means Rose's daycare is also closed through Tuesday. Still no word about *my* school. It's hard to know whether the roads will actually be bad tomorrow or whether it's just people freaking out over the cold. The snow right now sure looks pretty, though.

Vanderbilt just cancelled classes, if that tells you anything, Kate.
