Aww, Cass! You're being punny!

GCT better in concept than in practice.

That's too bad! Admittedly, it's pretty excellent in theory, so a small disappointment might still be acceptable.

I did not roast anything today, but roasted heads of cauliflower came up in dinner conversation. It's the zeitgeist. The Era of Roast Cruciform Vegetables.

Today was pick up my Box o' Meat at the Brewery Tasting Room Day, and this time I dragged along my parents and we shared a flight of whatever they had available. All quite tasty! That Imperial Stout aged in Bourbon barrels is no joke. Haven't even opened my Box o' Meat yet but the label on the side says I got goat, lamb, beef, and pork. I am interested to see what cuts of which are in there. I still have ground pork and boneless lamb from last month, so clearly I need to step up my carnivorous dining.

You're being punny!

Yeah, we've clearly misspelled me being a dork there. But it made me laugh and I couldn't help it.

so clearly I need to step up my carnivorous dining.

You have a Box o' Meat!

Mostly I want a Box o' Meaty Noms. And an endlessly stocked kitchen. And a good night's sleep and a day off to play in the kitchen. I like to cook.

And a good night's sleep and a day off to play in the kitchen.

I very much hope that this will be part of my upcoming three day weekend!

The DH was away all week, as he was the last two weeks, and gets back tomorrow. I get home from work tomorrow night and then leave at 6 the next morning to go home to Virginia for a week. I am hanging with mom so I can be there when she gets the results of her CAT scan to see if the nodes in her lung have grown which means the cancer is back (which we are all kind of expecting). So, not feeling very valentine-ish. However, we do plan on watching lots of old movies and stuff when we're not doing medical things.

I'm intrigued that the box o meat has so many types of meat!

Scrappy I hope it all goes ok!

I kind of want a box o' meat.

Dinner was yum. I made the cauliflower and pork chops, and some gravy to go with. I try to avoid gravy usually but I was feeling the need and ye gads was it good!

No cancer~ma, Scrappy.

I had no cauliflower, which was clearly a mistake on my part. I did have mac and cheese, though, so all was not lost on the noms front. I'm intrigued by the box of meat, too. Is it like a CSA for meat or more like a beast bits of the month club thing?

In theory I should be heading into work today. In reality, both ways back into town from my office involve shaded hills that may to entirely unfreeze, so I'm gonna see about working from home.

Theodosia and Sheryl, I am on the train to Boston! this small miracle brought to you by DH, who got me to the station at ass-o'clock, through a pile of snow and slush. I can't wait to see you guys. Theo- I don't have your contact addy - can you hit me or Sheryl with it?

Best of luck to you and your mom, Scrappy.

I am almost on vacation! As soon as I have this 8:30 call with my boss. Then I have a huge to-do list before I get on the plane tonight. Ooh la la!
