I finally tried out that stove top Mac and cheese we were talking about a while ago.
Holy crap, this is life-changing. Now I need to work on some variations.

Our wings are not tired.
brenda, speaking of life-changing, I discovered Costco sells packages of 20 crepes. And they're DELICIOUS. I sauteed a pound of spinach, threw in a bit of feta and OMG the easiest and most delicious crepe ever. Can't wait to put other things in it.

Oh I did not need to know that. Or maybe I did.
My latest super fast OMG so good creation is TJ's Gorgonzola gnocchi cooked with a bag of their frozen kale.

Whoa, area Ys closed at 8:30 tonight (not 10.) Here's hoping they open eventually tomorrow.
Still snowing.
Really want to leave a note for useless neighbor that reads "maybe you could clean your walks with the same dedication that you wash your car and ice up alley in process." But I won't. He's an ass, but his roommate is sweet and it won't do any good. I have no idea why she lives there, and she's stated her rent doesn't include upkeep and she won't be used, so I get that. Maybe the rent is that good and she's got blackmail material (actually, that's not a far stretch at all.)

Ooo, this place is making me want to travel to Italy just to eat there. (Though I'm sure I could find one or two other things to see while in the country...)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Whoa, Monday night tv did not disappoint... until the weather report just now. It's gonna be stupid cold the next few days and the heat in my office still doesn't work.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That sounds utterly amazing. And now I have to finish my nightly drink and bundle Matilda off to bed, because tomorrow is another ridiculously early morning (though possibly the last for a while; my bike has been unearthed from the storage space and tuned up, and the boss's holiday Amazon gift card has been transformed into a bike helmet which should arrive by midweek).
The last time I rode my bike regularly, I was in middle school out in the dead quiet suburbs and I used to read a book while riding. Without a helmet. Because I was twelve and phenomenally stupid. Will NOT be pulling that shit on the streets of San Francisco.

Things closed until 10: Y and my work. Closed for the day: everything else. just about.
Given the unclear policy fromCSC, I'm only happy about the Y opening. And I can't stop sneezing. Any work I do will be half assed. I'll call into telecons. I'll do my ethics training for the year (irony don't escape me.)

Say, isn't today pancake day? I'm socked in with ice and sleet covering snow, but I have power, so I'll be celebrating with blueberry pancakes.
