That sounds delicious, Cass. I almost bought a jar of the Hatch salsa but I was worried it would be too hot for my kids, so I opted to get the one they eat instead. sigh. Low on the list of sacrifices I make for my kids, but still....

My coworkers are on their own until Dec 4!!
There a 75% chance I'm gonna come back to a mess.

Oh that sounds good, Cass. I think I got some of the salsa last time I was at TJ's.
No thinking about work while you are gone, sarameg!

I hope to see you while you're in CA, sarameg.

BTW, still can't open my lunch. Made do with leftover Halloween candy.

Maybe running hot water over the top, -t? Like, that would make it expand just slightly?

Our wings are not tired.
Yay, sarameg! Enjoy your freedom!
TSA, I'm glaring at you
They were very nice to me this summer traveling with my expired license. She told me they wouldn't give me a hard time until it was expired a year. I was left thinking I must really look non-threatening.

Because books.
I think cold water might be better, -t. Although leftover Halloween candy also sounds good.
DMV has always been a nightmare for me. I still don't get how, in many many places in this country, driving can be considered a privilege anymore when there's minimal public transportation.

It's almost down to room temperature, now. It was pretty hot when it got stuck. Maybe if I heat it up the inside will pressurize, but then it will be too hot to hold on to and try to unscrew the lid (how I got into this pickle in the first place). I'm really surprised the seal is that good, it's just a plastic lid on a mason jar, but it seems to be.
The candy was tasty but not satisfying (Snickers lies!). I think I will pick up some takeout on the way home to make up for my trouble.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
-t, if you have one, you can use the tip of a bottle opener or something similar to pry the lid up just enough to let in some air, and then you can open it. I do this with pickle jars.
