Just got to my hotel room and put on the golden globes. Juliana Margulies looks awful. And I can't tell if George is wearing weird makeup or the light is hitting him funny or what.
We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Failed to make groceries, but had a lovely afternoon with the 'rents. They gave me a perfect -t gift: a cooking thermometer that reports to my phone. It'll give me graphs, y'all! Dog parked twice, so good day for Walter, and I think I stuck to my diet ok when we went out to dinner.
And I have leftovers I can eat for breakfast and lunch tomorrow, so groceries can wait. Just need to put the towels in the dryer and I can relax for the rest of the evening.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy crap! I barely have a cooking thermometer at all!

I have so many. Meat thermometer, candy thermometer, thermometer that came with a french press (or maybe with a torch, but it was a gift with purchase with something), Instapen, probe thermometer with alarm, laser thermometer, and now a Range [link] Probably some of those are made obsolete by others, maybe I should weed. OTOH, they all fit easily in the little drawer between the sink and the stove, maybe they can just stay there in case I need to simultaneously monitor a zillion temperatures.
BTW, I feel so proud of myself for starting the dishwasher before I left, and I unloaded it, reloaded, and started it again after I got home. So adult. [please ignore how having enough dirty dished lying around to need to do that is not particularly grown up. WIP, adulting]

I have a candy thermomster, but I would happily give it up for a Cuisinart or suchlike food processor.

I have a candy thermometer, but I don't trust it. I still find myself poking a blob of sugar and asking it if it's a soft ball yet.

I've been meaning to use it to try to make divinity, but I'm on a coconut macaroon kick, and I don't need it for that.

I have no cooking thermometers at all, and now I feel left out.

I made bread yesterday and served it, along with some other snacks, to friends who came by to watch The Librarians. It felt so old school-- breaking bread with friends. I didn't strictly need a thermometer for it, but I used one to make sure the interior reached the right temperature, as it's a new to me recipe.

That sounds lovely, Calli.
So, was awoken by sirens around midnight, which usually I can ignore and go back to sleep, but these stopped abruptly nearby and then I heard voices, so I got up to see what was going on. Cul de sac full of cop cars with lights flashing. One or two guys arrested and a motorcycle impounded by the end of it. I'm not sure what was going on, but I couldn't go back to bed until all that excitement was over. Tired now.
