Forrest ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Ugh Dana, fingers crossed that it's just a bump as Suzi says.
I am with Steph on the somber palate rather than all black for funerals. I wore a black sweater and a grey/teal skirt for my sister's funeral.
My DH has amazing powers of hyperfocus. I suspect that he and his daughter both have the inattentive type ADHD.
(I put smoked paprika on it -- SO GOOD)
Ooh, good call. I have a ton of paprika that I got as a thank you gift last year, and I need to start using it before it expires.
And just for fun, MIL is having another surgery today, related to an infection that's hampering her chemo. Obviously, this sucks much worse for her, and is in no way comparable to us not being able to sell a house that we're lucky enough to afford.
But today still sucks.
Basically, it was a clean-out-the-fridge quiche.
So smart! I don't even know what I have in my fridge right now. Fennel and a bunch of carrots, I think, but probably a bunch of other stuff I have forgotten about. My inventory system has broken down a bit lately.
Oh, Jesus. Tim is constitutionally incapable of deciding things. If I ask him the open-ended "what do you want for dinner?" he responds with a totally blank look, like I just started speaking Swahili. So I tend to either offer 2 choices ("Do you want stir-fry or tamales for dinner?"), or I ask if my choice is okay ("Is stir-fry okay for dinner?") And that generally works.
I have the same problem. Which is compounded by my dietary restrictions, so poor M is not only coping with me unable to decide, but he has to remember what I can and cannot eat. Which is why we eat at the same places so often.
Dana, I'm sorry everything is so bumpy right now.
Even if I could cook, I'm sure I would be incapable of looking at what's about to go bad in the fridge and making a meal out of them. That's a superpower, to me.
I need to turn in my adult card. The milk in my fridge? Expired March 20th. Granted, I rarely drink/use milk, but DANG. I need a minder.
Zenkitty, it takes a lot of practice and learning enough recipes to know what ingredients work well together. I'm not saying I'd go on Chopped or anything, but given enough familiarity with the ingredients, I could take a mystery basket and come up with dinner.
Timelies all!
In Toronto now, taking advantage of the free wireless in the lobby.
We're on the phone with the realtor now. It is sounding like more of a bump, so thank god for that. It will still mean that we have to put some more money into it, but hopefully it won't be terrible.
