I have to use the expensive tissues, the ones with the lotion. Two plain tissues in, and my nose is red and peeling. I have delicate nose skin, apparently. I'll buy the damn expensive tissues and save those pennies elsewhere. Cheap TP, prob, because the other end don't care.

It's still raining here, but it cleared this afternoon. The poor workers trying to clear the landslide site of bodies. Even the dogs are depressed. They've found most of the missing, though, alive and out of touch. Only something like 14 still unaccounted for, out of an initial 200.

For your amusement: a new restaurant that opened near our house: [link] The jokes have been endless (like the caption to the photo, which was said by a friend: "One does not simply walk into Mario's").

I appear to be allergic to the expensive lotion tissues. They make me sneeze. Ah the irony.

"One does not simply walk into Mario's"

I will drive to get the take-out wings, though I do not know the way.

Me: "Do you think the wings come with taters?"

Tim: "What's taters?"

Me: "Po-tay-toes! Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a deep fryer!"

I want to make a joke about Eagles but I can't quite find it.

I think I'm gonna not finish watching The Good Wife tonight. They are doing too good of a job with this story for me to watch it right before bed.

t, this shit is BRUTAL. oh my goodness.

The tissues with lotion make me feel like maybe I still have snot on my face. YMMV.

I'll brace myself for it later in the week, le n. Meanwhile, Bob's Burgers makes a nice palate cleanser.

.you guys, I have so much paella.

This is what the freezer is for, I suspect. I froze a bunch of my oatmeal risotta from last week, and the freezer has become kind of a treasure chest of leftovers. There's some Greek feta-rice casserole in there, and pumpkin bread pudding, and cassoulet, and some of the ground nut & sweet potato stew from a few weeks back. Oh, and I froze a bunch of the beet pesto.
