Took a shower and got dressed and felt bad enough to take my temperature which is up a little bit, so I think actual sick day today. But what I was really coming to tell you is that I broke out the peppermint soap I got from my butcher and it smells surprisingly beefy. I mean, I knew it was made from beef tallow, or whatever it's called, but I didn't expect it to smell like steak with a side of peppermint. I don't think I like it.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Beef and peppermint seem WRONG. IT should be beef and...mushrooms?

Yeah, they are two great tastes that don't go great together. Lesson learned on buying soap from the butcher, I guess.
Maybe sage or rosemary would work? Or cedar. Mesquite for BBQ-scented soap?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
My mom gave me wine soap at Christmas, and I'm a little afraid to use it. I loves me some wine, but I don't think I want to smell like the back room of the Cork N' Bottle.

My condolences about the bad job news, ita. May a good prospect show up in a hurry.
Happy belated birthday, Dana!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds terrible!

Wine scented bath soap = plausible deniability

fingers are crossed, ita, I hope you land softly in a good new gig soon.

All these kids growing up and leaving elementary school! The passage of time, man, I don't know.
I've been using a cabernet-scented soap all winter, Tep. It's pretty nice, did not make me smell like I'd been boozing it up every day. At least not to me and no one else said anything. I think someone would have.
