I discovered that mashed sweet potatoes with honey butter taste exactly like pumpkin pie. (yes, I know a lot of pumpkin pie is actually sweet potato. I'm good with that)
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Steph!
A/C has been fixed, but it'll take a bit of time to cool down the house.

Happy Birthday, Teppy!!!
I do not like tater tots. They taste too artificial to me in some way. I prefer home fries or oven roasted potatoes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hapy birthday, Teppy! Thanks for sharing your funny, smart, quizzical, loving, non-vanilla brains with the board.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Never met a potato I didn't like.
So I'm not even done with the first dinner after my CSA started, and am already feeling oppressed by lettuce! On the plus side, I already made my salad for tomorrow, and I bet I like it better than tonight's. Don't ask why I wouldn't just start with my favorite salad from jump.

I'm actually not a huge potato fan. Yeah, they're ok, but I don't miss them ever.
Ye olde roof leak is back. 2nd patch. I might just hire a new roofer (this is free under 10 yr warrantee.) gonna be storming for a while. At least I have a bucket, fuckit.

Happy birthday, Steph!
How can anyone not be fond of tater tots? They are the best.
Mmmmm. Deep fried in duck fat!

Burrell, the nectarine cake was me. You must make it! It is so wonderful, all almondy and sugary and nectarines. Nom. It has a really dense moist crumb and the nectarines (which don't always sink down into the batter the way the recipe says) get slightly caramelized on the top from the dusting of sugar over the top. I also added just a touch of cardamom to the batter, for reasons. Mainly, I love cardamom.

Well fuck, my crown just broke. It is on a canine tooth, so very visible. I'm due on a plane at 6:15am, so no chance to get to a dentist before I go. Blast. Gonna pick up some crown adhesive to try to get through the next 2 days.
