I'm watching teens on Chopped, and this one kid has not said he is gay, but he has said he was "born this way" (about being a chef), and just said his plate is "fit for a queen." I think there was something else I now forget. Hilarious. Also he wants to have his own dinner theater that he cooks and performs in.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Our wings are not tired.
grumble grumble My family is never on time. We are supposed to be at the location for MIL birthday in half an hour, it takes us that long to get there. DH has not showered yet. I know that the guest of honor and the rest of the family will all be late, but I Like To Be On Time. I am showered and dressed and ready to go of course. grumble grumble

It the curse of the punctual to wait around, Laura.
Breakfast concoction currently in progress: layers of kale, Canadian bacon, poached duck egg, Hollandaise, and custard. I hope it comes out okay. Trying out my new poaching pan - I think I like it.

One of the Readercon committee is an amateur gourmet chef, so he demo'd making ice cream scientifically via liquid nitrogen. I had a dab of dark chocolate ice cream (literally the size of a melon ball because that's how it was served out) that was sinfully delicious, but I'm probably going to regret it later tonight.
The program item was entitled "Science Considered As A Helix of Semi-Frozen Cones."

Mine looks just like [link] It's a deep skillet with an insert that holds six removable cups that hold the eggs, basically. And a clear lid so I can see how the eggs are progressing, which I like. You can take the insert out and use it as a regular pan, which keeps it from being the dreaded One Purpose Item.

So I ran away from home and am hiding out at the grocery store Starbucks. Just frustrations and bad communication despite trying to communicate and I hit a high level of "can't deal" Wish the dojo was open so I could lunch the pads. Could have put on sweats and hit the gym but that would have delayed my departure and I did need to hit the store.

I went out to pick up a gift for my sister while I was thinking of it, because her birthday's in a couple of weeks and we were expecting a storm later so errands & exercise needed to be combined. I left in shorts and a Captain America tank top and returned a sweaty mess. But now I have gifts and socks and duct tape, and I plan to do nothing but drink white wine spritzers and watch TV for the next few hours until I can work up the energy to clean the bathroom. Or until I get hungry and make something for dinner. I have fresh sage that could go in a garlic butter sauce.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
DashCon looks like the kind of clusterfuck that's entertaining to read about, when one is not in the middle of it.
We went to the grocery store, and then I came home and tossed a huge salad of kale, broccoli slaw, snap peas, feta, and dried cranberries, and portioned it out into individual servings for lunch this week. I want my metaphorical cookie now.
