I am well aware of the joys of garlic. But I actually dared the produce section and dealt with actual plant parts instead of something from a jar or bottle. Though that jar of minced garlic in garlic juice looks promising.

Mmm, garlic.
The downside to my making-lunches-for-the-whole-week-on-Sunday ways is that I seem to have forgotten how to make one lunch for tomorrow. It just doesn't seem possible.
I do have deviled eggs. And cheesecake. And hazelnuts. Maybe if I have enough snacks I can count that as lunch?

I always eat like that. Unless my mother feels guilty and worries about us getting pellagra or something.

If I did work from home I would roast some pork belly for lunch. Or make an omelet.
I don't think I can spin "I couldn't figure out what to make for lunch" into a legitimate reason to work from home tomorrow though.

To be fair, I had roasted figs with goat cheese one day for lunch last week.
Today it was cottage cheese with blueberries and...maybe turkey rolled up with swiss cheese?
t edit Man, pork belly sounds good. Why am I so hungry at midnight?

Well, I finally got a good reason to stop following a particularly New Agey whoo-whoo person on Facebook. In addition to perky and sharing of inspirational quotes, she thinks comparisons of Hilary Clinton and Hitler are hysterical. Buh-bye!

Oh jeez please don't. I know you were just kidding, but HTG just seeing it makes me tense up. I don't call senior people on their language but this is one I don't let pass.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Freakish discovery of the day: my sister told me last night that when she met her now-husband, she was then dating a guy whose father was Philip Michael Thomas, from Miami Vice. My sister dated the son of Tubbs. (I never met him, but my brothers did, and mocked him mercilessly.)
