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.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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.

In Toronto now, taking advantage of the free wireless in the lobby.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I can make something I would be willing to eat out of whatever is lying around (assuming whatever is lying around is stuff I don't hate, and since no one else shops for groceries in my house that's usually not an issue). It's a low bar, believe me.

I kind of have a crush on Carla Gugino so I'm sorry I missed that show on lots of levels.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
learning enough recipes to know what ingredients work well together.
There's a book called the Flavor Bible that basically is a huge book listing different foods/spices/etc., and then listing what else goes well with them. I keep meaning to get it, because I think it would help me a lot.

Did you ever see the miniseries of The Buccaneers? I think it was Masterpiece Theatre, but I know it's on DVD.

My swim was stormed out halfway through. Bah. Ah well, it wasn't going well tonight anyway. Start fresh tomorrow.

Because books.
I have more than kind of a crush on Carla Gugino. And The Buccaneers is really fun -- you can also stream it on Amazon.
