Awww, thanks guys.
I was inspired by JZ, who once left me beer and cookies at the hotel for me when I arrived late after a long flight.

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.

Aw, just like we used to leave for Santa. That's great.
These "BLT Deviled eggs" are a little bland (to be fair, I left off the L and the T, but they're just garnishes). I think mixing some tomato paste into the yolks next time might be a good idea.
Go to Turkey. I'm pretty sure they have tea there.
I've heard of Turkish Coffee, but Turkish Tea is not ringing any bells...

Chai. It's actually a substantially more popular drink in Turkey than coffee.
There you go. Recalibrating that bell, hopefully. I was racking my brain and only coming up with a vague impression of mint.
Cheesecake will have go wait until after GoT.
VegNews magazine posted a photo of some vegan food they found at JazzFest -- a really yummy-looking Gambian dish with tofu and vegetables and peanut sauce, over rice.
Clearly, corners of the internet don't know that JazzFest trumps anything.
Heh. Vegan at Jazz Fest is a big deal! I have heard good stuff about that dish though - it's new this year. In unrelated news, I am going to start a feature for my new gig at Eater NOLA highlighting vegan dishes in unusual places.
We were making chocolate chip cookies anyway, and we happened to have good beer in the fridge, and it just seemed suddenly blindingly obvious that (a) cold beer and warm cookies is an incredibly comforting combination, and (b) it's fun to give Scola treats. Surprise treats are even better!
Long day, very weary. Started with Matilda's first communion (it's hard to see in this picture, but she's wearing the necklace SA gave her as a wee infant), lots and lots of family, Emmett being incredibly patient and sweet with her and all the lots and lots of family, washing all the dishes in the universe, and, inspired by -t and Kristin and other recent Buffista converts to running, getting off my ass and dragging it 2 miles around the track at Kezar. I am a tired, tired woman. And there's still almost 200 pages of copyediting to do before bed.
Homemade cookies no less! That is the way to treat Tom.
Matilda is absolutely angelic in that picture. So sweet.
Looks like it's going to be GoT-> pork & bok choy stir fry -> The Good Wife -> maybe cheesecake

This is that, what did Patricia Arquette call it? The dark net?
Oh, my, first communion! Congratulations to Matilda!
I accomplished the painting of the insides of two bookshelves, and got them into the house (so now the house smells of paint). And I got my toenails done, and stopped by my sister's house, where my niece fed me dinner. And then I loaded up four boxes of books into the bookshelves, which took up hardly any space at all. This is going to take a while. Any local Buffistas need slightly-aging cardboard boxes?
Now I finally get to watch the season finale of Vikings. The main question for me is whether Lagertha gets to be awesome, and I'm pretty sure the answer is YES.
I almost went to bed at about 6pm, but managed to rally and go to the store and buy two kinds of ice cream. Totally necessary for sick-food right? Um.
Then I read a book by some Hairpin/Buzzfeed writer who is 25 and has never had a boyfriend. On the one hand, the book was pretty cute and ever-so-familiar when describing futile crushes and deep readings of texts and glances with friends, etc etc. On the other hand, I kept reading thinking "girl, if you really wanted this, you'd have it already...have you considered that maybe all your celebration of female friendship is actually that you're gay and just don't know it?" Which is not to suggest that anyone who hasn't had a date (though she has) by age 25 is somehow a repressed lesbian. But I am giving her a bit of a side-eye.
