Yum, beef stroganoff!
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

I've been extremely pissed off.
So, okay, Grace did a Special Games event (not S.O.... ) it was sponsored by panhellenic life at Loyola Marymount. I cannot for the life of me figure out who is supposed to be learning what from that situation. Like is this to make the special needs folks feel good or is it really about secretly making the frats and sorority girls feel better.

Well, I told my landlord that I'm leaving at the end of the school year, and I asked her if I could extend my lease until the end of June (it ends at the end of May) so that I'd have a bit more time to get organized and actually move stuff after classes end, but she said no. She also said she wants me to "create order" in the apartment as soon as possible, so that she can start showing it. (It is currently a mess, and I do need to get stuff organized and de-cluttered so that I can pack things and move.) I did get rid of three trash bags full of random papers and packaging and plastic junk that had been in my front room today, though, so that's a start.

Shrift, we love the Hotel Monaco. Bob's also stayed at The Palomar and liked it but the Monaco is his home away from home (with better room service and less pet hair than home).
sarame, that's so sad but wonderful the salon is taking care of her.

How sad, sarameg, but what amazing support from her work. Good for them.
Like is this to make the special needs folks feel good or is it really about secretly making the frats and sorority girls feel better.
Well B is definitely a factor, so the real question is what, if anything, do the special needs folk get from it? Sounds like you weren't impressed.

Hil, I suggest a Homeland-style color-coded evidence wall. That shows order, right?

Re: the stroganoff.
The sauce was good in the pan, but it's too subtle over the noodles. I don't know what it needs. Hubby would know, dammit. Maybe more salt? I did leave some out.
And egg noodles. I will never get pasta right. It's either over done or mush. Tonight it's too close to mush. Bah. And the meat's tough. Double bah.

Since the meat was tough, is this something that you could let simmer longer, maybe with a splash of wine? When I make soup, a long simmer both tenderizes the meat and develops the favors, and a little wine often gives some brightness to creamy dishes.

Hey. New board.
Connie, if there is one thing I have learned in the last few years of cooking, it is that "more salt" is almost always the right answer for underwhelming flavor from a recipe. For beef stroganoff, I would sub soy sauce for some of the salt; it brings deep meaty flavor that can help enhance the beef and mushroom flavors.
