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

Mmm, mac and cheese.

Ginger, just so you know, moving anything round California right now is super slow because port issues are creating trucking issues and it's all a big mess. So possibly there were four days of getting to the shipping partner, depending on how it was going. At least that appears to be the case based on all my shipments going to Colombia and Costa Rica that are stuck in our warehouse unable to get to port.

BUT my day and half of meetings is OVER and they were productive and enlightening so yay. And I am not going into the office for two hours. I will check my e-mail in case there's something that I REALLY need to do, but otherwise it's the weekend. And I got fed lunch, and it was only a little off my diet.

ION, my Box o' Meat is now being delivered to me by UPS (instead of being delivered to a brewery in the next county where I would pick it up) and that has eroded a significant amount of the warm fuzzies I was getting from having a Meat CSA. Also, "subscribing" is one month at a time, for one delivery a month, so, I dunno.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

In one post, I pointed out that gluten is only bad for people with a demonstrated intolerance and there's nothing inherently bad about GMO foods.

Yeah, but everyone knows you're just a shill for Big Gluten. Open your eyes, sheeple!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Yes, Monsanto told me to write that.

I'm reading a recipe for Pork and Udon Soup, and the first commenter says, "To cut carbs, I left out the noodles...." So that would make it just Pork Soup.

I am clearly in a Mood.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

But did they pay you to write it?

You know that all of us in the reality-based community are getting money under the table from Monsanto, Kraft and Big Pharma.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The comments on recipes/recipe blogs are comedy GOLD. (Alternatively, they can also induce raaaaaaaage.)

It's mainly the people who substitute almond meal for flour and Splenda for sugar and then give the recipe 1 star who bring out the rage. They're right up there with the people who give a book 1 star because the USPS squashed a corner.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I've been getting irritated lately with all the 1-star book reviews on Amazon whose comments start out with, "I haven't read this yet..."

Our wings are not tired.

That list is the best thing Mallory has ever written. I've read it dozens of times and it still makes me laugh.
