Pete ended up heating the broth gel so he could whisk an egg into it for me. It was very tasty!
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
BTW, Jilli, if you need soft foods for a while, I recommend making custard out of broth. It's easy, tastes good cold, and packs a little more protein than straight broth.

I think making custard out of the broth is beyond Pete's cooking skills, and I know I'm not up to doing it right now. But I'll keep that in mind, because it sounds yummy.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Boy, I am sure glad I left my house at 8pm to get here for an 8:45 rehearsal that the director decided to start late. The concert will be great, but this guy is an asshole.

the Mary Stewarts, and I'm not revisiting them so my memories of them stay rosey. I don't want to know if they're awful by today's standards.
They're not. At least, I don't think so. I suppose there's some issues with man/woman relationships and British superiority, but I've been pleased with the ones I've re-read. I was pleased to discover that Airs Above The Ground is just as good as I remembered.

Speaking of the Suck Fairy, I'm saddened by how poorly a lot of Andre Norton has aged. They're just... thin, by comparison with modern YA. No characterization to speak of, really. The plots are good, and the world-building, but the characters are 2D if you're lucky.
I had maple-roasted brussel sprouts and a piece of grilled salmon for dinner. The sprouts were way better than the salmon, I must admit.

That sounds so good, Consuela. Yum! I've been trying to eat a bit better. Yesterday I made tofu and beet greens, and today I braised cabbage, leeks and fennel and ate it over quinoa.

Probably the books I loved most as a child was the Narnia series. Not at all sure what book to pick for college. Ulysses? I read it through more than once in college, and only once for class. And then grad school? No way to pick just one book. Mrs. Dalloway? Nightwood? A Room of Ones Own? Pride and Prejudice had a very particular role to play in my grad school incarnation and I adore it. And then parenthood so far would be the Harry Potter series.
