My microwave just made an unusual noise and shut itself off. That's new. I think the pot roast is probably done, anyway...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My microwave will sometimes shut off early when it senses what I'm heating is done. Usually it's right.

Really? Neat. Maybe it's a feature I never knew I had.

And I still have a bunch of raw kale and that second goose egg to figure out how I want to eat.

Sautee the kale in butter/garlic/lemon, serve poached goose egg on it. Voila! You just need something like quinoa to make it a some fancy spa biz.

I was already considering that! Without the quinoa. I don't need no stinking grains.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Are you getting it delivered? I am confident that either the delivery people or the installation people (if they are different people, if that's all the same person I am more confident) will bring it upstairs for you.

Yes, it's being delivered, and the guy is bringing it up the stairs on a dolly. The last time someone did that (washer and dryer delivery) they messed up the floor and I have a weak floorboard at the top of the stairs now. I'm bracing for this delivery to turn into a broken-floor disaster. Because there's money in my savings account, and the Universe will not let that go on!

Ah. Well, I hope it goes better than you expect.

Microwave has not healed itself overnight. Fortunately I think I have a spare out in the shed. And meanwhile, frittata reheats in the toaster oven just fine.

Timelies all.

I had a great weekend which included a fantastic wedding. The bride has a literature degree and the groom is a sports fanatic. The bride doesn't like traditional weddings and would have happily eloped, but her family insisted on putting on something more traditional. So, she made it her own.

  • The centerpieces were small stacks of books that had been given white dust covers and wrapped together with a wide ribbon.
  • The wedding party came down the aisle to the theme from Friends (a different version, though).
  • The officiant was a friend of the bride and groom.
  • His discussion of love, during the ceremony included many, many sports and literature references (from Shakespeare to winning the game, from the Harry Potter to hitting a home rum and so much more).
  • The bride and groom wrote their own vows that were full of humor and spoke to their specific relationship.
  • When exchanging rings, the officiant talked about how the ring is a perfect circle like a basketball hoop or the One Ring.
  • Dinner was catered by Qdoba.
  • The bride/father, groom/mother dance was to You'll be in my Heart from Tarzan
  • The wedding party chose a song for the happy couple - Dark Lord Funk You Up.
  • The last song of the night was Bohemian Rhapsody which became a very loud sing along.

  • Oh and right before presenting the married couple to us all, the officiant pulled out a flask and a couple of shot glasses, pouring the bride and groom a shot (of Crown) for them to toast their marriage in memory of how they first met.

Sounds like an awesome wedding!
