To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Lady of the Manners tea + cream and sweetener = so good.

Yay! I'm so glad you like it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, that sounds good, Sail!

Vacuumed and made the bed! Next I'm off to do my father's nails. Other upcoming excitement includes doing my own nails and mopping the kitchen and bathroom floors. Also making some lentils.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Anne, what brand is that? It sounds teh yum.

Sail, it's Dreaming Cow. The other flavors of theirs I really want to try are Honey Pear and Maple Ginger.

Ooh, that sounds really good and easy, Sail. Thanks!

I overbought take-and-bake goodies for today. This might require postponing the return of the low carb diet a little longer until I get it all eaten up...

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just put a top a petite sirloin roast in the crock pot. I've never used this cut, is it tasty or tough?

Dreaming Cow, check. Those other two flavors sound awesome, too. I miss the little Chobani Bites flavors I used to be able to find; they had a Fig and Orange Zest that I loved and I'm looking for something to replace them.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oh man. FB concern troll anti-vax friend is now posting links to the Food Babe. I can't decide whether to hide his posts or keep hate-reading them. He's so smart, I can't believe he's gotten pulled into this bullshit.

I always have to look up cuts of beef, and I have the feeling that the names keep changing, but I am pretty sure I had a sirloin roast not long ago that was not remotely tough, so I'm gonna say tasty.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

FB is making me laugh. "Oh I see, Chicago: when you said a foot of snow, what you meant was A FOOT OF SNOW."

It's a crock pot kind of day. I've got curried chicken going. I need to do laundry but I'm currently becatted.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

hide posts Steph. or at least choose to see less of them.

I feel like week old ass from the neck up. Neck down, fine. My house is a mess and month end close is tomorrow so I have to go to work. blearg.

I am just going to try and do some to make me feel better about the house and try my best to avoid a shame spiral about it. Thus far:

1 load laundry in
my bedding on air fluff in dryer to de-cat hair before washing
kitchen floor swept
dishes washed
recycling out of kitchen
stray dishes gathered and in dishwasher

now break

I've got 2.5 hours before the Super Bowl starts. I will watch, but I don't care about it, so do I run out to grocery store now? or wait right before kickoff?
