I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

I am watching NPR Tiny Desk Concerts. I just got to one with the Cranberries. WHOA. The voice sounds so different when they are just standing at a desk in the office singing.

Why do you need to blend tofu? What does one do with blended tofu??

Among other things, it makes a good egg substitute for some recipes. 1/4 cup blended tofu = 1 beaten egg.

Thirty is a very respectable age for a blender.

Oh, Grace. That's very confusing!

Chopping pepper with gloves on is amazing. I ran out of my box of disposable gloves and haven't re-upped, maybe I should make a shopping list and put those on it. So handy! Pun not intended, but now that I see it, I like it and am claiming it.

meara, push it through Grace's tube! That's what I'd do with blended tofu (same as blended steak).

Oh my god! Adele's Tiny Desk Concert is amazing. [link] Her voice even in a freaking office! Amazing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Adele is fantastic. And the gloves! And the laugh!

I feel extra validated!

We use gloves in our house, not only for medical stuff, but for hair dye and making jalapeno poppers. They are the best.

Adele is fantastic. I love that she's sitting there in her coat with her purse slung across her body.

Why blend tofu? In my case to mix with ricotta, lemon juice, olive oil,honey and balsamic vinegar to make a pasta sauce. [plus various spices and veggies] (I exchanged the ricotta that had spoiled for fresh, and since I was not going to use it in the original recipe, this is what I came up with.) Probably will top with a little mozzerella at the end.

OK, pushing through Grace's tube makes sense, I meant why would people-who-don't-tube-feed need to blend tofu. (Hil's answer also makes sense)

Why is my cold medication no longer working? I am worried it means my cold is worse, and that this IS the medication working, it just is working against more cold than before??

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Hey, it's been several hours/posts since this, but

One of the reasons I have so much trouble talking about my childhood in therapy is that I start asking myself, "If it really was that bad, then how did I actually get through it all?"

The answer is because you're an amazing person with a quiet strength. People like me are loud and appear to be strong, but you are the kind of person that soldiers through and supports the people that you love. Your quiet smiles make me feel like I've done something good, even if it's just us hanging out in a courtyard in New Orleans checking our phones.
