Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I still haven't seen this mythical bacon popcorn.

And I don't have any bourbon.

But I do have gin. And the makings of egg salad which maybe I should get going on so I don't have to try to do it in the morning. Or maybe I should go to TJ's for lunch tomorrow, I understand they get deliveries on Tuesday so maybe they won't be out of everything Teppy taunts me with.

I'm at the gym, waiting for my climbing partner, then I will quickly hit TJ's I the way home, & hopefully make a cake to bring to the office tomorrow. Man, this gym is crowded...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I saw that bacon cheddar popcorn and decided I had just enough willpower to not buy it at all, but once purchased I'd be helplessly in its thrall.

I was unsure about the beet hummus, but will have to try it now.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

For the hummus lovers: [link]

My ex-boss's son is the owner. It's available via mail order and at retailers in the DC/Baltimore area. sarameg and lisah are familiar because he also puts up a stand at the farmers market. So good, even if I wasn't a fan of working for his father.

I was just kidding, Steph.

Oh, I know -- my comment didn't come off the way it sounded in my head. It was totally mocking my damn family and their damn heart disease. (Plus my propensity to consider reading a valid cardio exercise and Cadbury eggs a protein source.)
