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.

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.

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.
