Making pasta. The "sauce" is chicken breasts, lemon juice, olive oil, a little butter, mushrooms, onions asparagus and appropriate herbs and spices. Normally my reflex is always to add cheese to pasta, but with this combo, probably not. So no mozzarella because it might clash with the asparagus. Agree? Disagree?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

their 1099s are for money paid within a calendar year, not money earned. So December is always on the following year's 1099.

Parmesan goes well with asparagus. I think mozzarella would, too, I'm fairly sure I've had it on pizza. But that doesn't sound like it needs cheese, necessarily.

I am sad to report that the Well Re(a)d wine from American Canyon does not taste very good. So it goes.

Nobody else has said anything for two and a hours? Where is everyone?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Where is everyone?

Baking cookies for my crazy husband who is going camping this weekend. (I have no idea what impulse possessed me, but I decided he should have Toll House cookies to take backpacking. So I dug a renegade bag of wheat flour out of the back of the pantry and made some cookies. I feel like I deserve a Donna Reed badge or something.)

Well, those both sound like worthy occupations. Carry on.

You should totally get a merit badge for baking cookies you can't eat, Tep. That's nobility right there.

I went to Staples and Wegman's, and now I'm looking at the pile of dirty dishes and thinking that I ought to put them in the dishwasher.

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

I am home, finally, but I have no nommy food. At least until tomorrow.

Shrift, do you know how to get to the Ferry Building?
