Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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

I made lasagna for dinner. Pretty good, but the vegan ricotta has lemon juice in it, and I think I made it a bit too lemony.

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

My favorite Book Emergency story

Is that irony? I want to call that irony. It's a great story, whatever you call it.

I roasted a duck since I was home and had a thawed duck in the fridge, and I'm quite pleased with how it came out, but I seem to have no appetite. More for tomorrow, I guess. Cold duck is even a thing, right?

Maybe not like you're thinking: [link]

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I've been reading through the Zantac suggestions and decided to put it on my shopping list…only to discover it was already there. I don't remember doing that.

Weird.

Heh, yeah, my leftovers are unlikely to turn into that.

Heh, yeah, my leftovers are unlikely to turn into that.

In general, though, I like cold leftover chicken or turkey, so I would imagine cold leftover duck would be good, too.

Awwwwwww thanks, le nub.

I have cilantro lime chicken with corn and black beans in the crock pot. But I have no clean bowls and no energy to wash a bowl. Spent what I had on packing. Maybe later.

I've had cold leftover duck many times, it's quite tasty. Probably more than I have had Cold Duck.

ETA: Suzi - any clean mugs?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So -t is more civilized than I. I would be eating from the crock pot.

Oh, good idea -t. Though I'm in my bedroom with my boot off, so I'm here for a while.

But one of my big bookshelves in 90% packed. That includes all my demitasse cup and saucers. I have one cup and saucer left from my grandma's china set and as I moved that to the table where I was wrapping them, the voice in my head said "careful, that is the one out of all of these you don't want to break" and...it fell and the cup broke into 3 pieces. The super glue I have isn't bonding, so I'll have to find something specific for china I guess. I'm never going to drink from it but I'd like to fix it and keep it. But I have no more spoons to deal tonight.
