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

Sounds like win win to me, Burrell.

You guys, I want to make buttermilk biscuits constantly until I get really good at it. That is reasonable, right?

I wholeheartedly endorse this plan. I am thinking about making butter in part so I can always have buttermilk.

The difference between a bribe and positive reinforcement is sometimes very subtle.

Amen.

I'm in the office today. Not sure why beyond the fact that I need to print out some color copies for a meeting tonight and my inkjet needs ink.

Oh, god, in all the mess, I forgot I still need to get a copy of my wedding license so I can renew my driver's license next month.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, now THAT is a plan!

Mmmmm, biscuits. I've been making shortbread cookies lately, but they are no yet perfected, so I keep trying. For science.

109 degrees, on the other hand, pure yuck.

I was listening to a podcast about fermenting stuff yesterday, and I almost want to try it, but probably not enough to put thought into action.

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

Long shot question, cross posted with Tech:

Does anyone know of a source for buying out of date prepackaged software? We are looking for a version of particular biotech software from 2000, and it's not on ebay or Amazon, so I thought I would turn to the hivemind.

Our wings are not tired.

They got ready for school without a fight on the condition they can play minecraft for 5 minutes. Win-win? Or is that just capitulation?

It is what works. That is win-win in my book.

Sauerkraut is probably my favorite thing I have ever made, mostly because it was so easy and also kind of amazing. Highly recommend!

I'm not saying I'd swap with Chiberia Chicago, you understand. Just that I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand.

It's snowing again and apparently we're getting a Saskatchewan Screamer tonight that I'd gladly waft your way if I could.
