Our wings are not tired.

When my recipes get unpacked I will share the recipe. It was lovely. In theory I don't see why any couldn't be served warm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Mmm....cheescake...

"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?"

That's hilarious -- I kind of forgot that might still be a thing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

In theory I don't see why any couldn't be served warm.

Hard to slice, is the only reason I can think of. Especially if the center is still wobbly, the way recipes say they should be. But individual little cheesecakes served in their own ramekins served warm - that does sound good. Like baked brie.

Man, I hate nylons. It's the only thing I don't like about this temperature -- I think it's too cool for bare legs, but too warm for tights. So of course I put a run in my stockings the first time I went to the bathroom here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Five days in Turkey? I need to start saving now. The accommodation will be free, since she's going to a conference. But I'm inspired by Jesse's jaunt to Lesotho, and I haven't been anywhere since Kenya, and that was near ten years ago. I'd have to start saving now.

Jesse, pants for the interim? Uh, like that didn't occur to you.

God, work, I can't.

Hi folks!

Love that Scola provided you with tea, ita. Scola is indeed wonderful.

Hil, living in LA means being surrounded by people who are convinced that eating according to their particular ideological preferences will keep you healthy and make you live to 120. It can be crazy making, and I embrace the idea that eating a healthy diet can keep you healthier, I just don't think it can keep you alive for decades longer than you were gonna live elsewise.

My mantra for now is One More Week. I get through this week, school is done.

Do it! Turkey is so great!

Jesse, pants for the interim? Uh, like that didn't occur to you.

It basically didn't occur to me because I basically don't have work pants. But maybe I do somewhere! Also, this kind of weather only lasts for about a minute here.

How does one cope without work pants? Then again, I'm not sure I could cope with a work environment that asked me to aspire to anything higher than office casual.

I have no work skirts.

I only have a couple pairs of work pants (well, that fit and that don't need the hems to be fixed, etc). I have a LOT of work dresses. And two skirts that I don't remember the last time I wore. My issue is less the pants (or even skirts), it's finding tops that are nice enough to wear with them, but not so nice they have to be ironed/drycleaned. And look good on me. I feel like I have t-shirts that look good on me but work-appropriate tops mystify me.
