Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Because books.

The Fall Fair at Sara's school is next Saturday, so I'm donating anything they'll take.

I'm so sorry about your grandmother, msbelle. Is she in the hospital?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

OK, kuzu/kudzu (its sold as both) root starch specs here:

You'll have to do the math yourself to see if it's worth it. :)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Also, I got a lead on a job which might be really interesting: doing environmental work in-house for a big solar company. Sounds cool, less stressful than consulting, and less ridiculous than federal work.

For homes, businesses or those great swaths of solar farms?

I'm sorry about your grandmother's fall, msbelle. Glad they finally got the pain under control.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I really like this mystical Pope.

Yes, she is in the hospital. Just spoke with my aunt. She has either a bladder or kidney infection, so they are dealing with that first before the ankle, now that they have the pain controlled. AUnt does not think I need to come down to relieve people since GG is resting now and everyone should be able to sleep at home tonight. I still offered because next week I am working and I do not want it all to fall on the daughters (aunt and my mom).

So I am just hanging at home- taking turns between fb games, house projects, and ebaying stuff. For those of you not on FB, I am on a mom strike, so I am only doing what I want, and no cleaning, or cooking for others. I am feeding the cats and dog, also medicining the one cat - because they should not suffer b/c mac is on a stubborn selfish trip.

ita ! Unflavored gelatine will definitely thicken. It has almost no flavor, so that should not be a problem. The texture may not be exactly what you want. And no, if you don't use too much it will not turn your soup into jello, just thicken. But more an aspic sort of thickness rather than a floury sort of thickness if you get the distinction.

Much ~ma for your grandmother, msbelle. Also kid ~ma for you.

A strike seems like a sensible idea, msbelle. Ma~ for your grandmother.

S. just made old-school popcorn (not microwaved!) for me. NOM.

Adding some brown rice and then pureeing part of the soup might do it.

I have split pea flour and have also cooked lentils then pureed to thicken.
