They have merlot chocolate chip at a place around here. Very tasty. Champagne sherbet must be a thing somewhere.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have recipes for Butter Pecan with brandy ice cream and Jasmine Tea with Sake sherbet and Fig with Barley Wine ice cream, Champagne and Strawberry Sorbet, and Mimosa sorbet, and Raspberry Bellini sorbet and a Sangria sorbet.
Why did I put this magic aside? Just because of one failure???

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Useless thoughts on traffic: does the morning commute seem more awful in Septembers? If it's not just me, what's the deal? Is it teachers back to flooding the roads after a summer off and forgetting how to drive (sorry teachers!), is it overall back-to-school (teachers, students, and parents alike) getting back into the rhythm of things? Or am I just running into a slew of rubber-neckers, residual accident slowdowns, and bad luck?
Sheesh, going home today we got backed up from rubber-necking and three-police-car pullover (and the car appeared to be empty, so I'm assuming there was an arrest, hence the need for three cruisers).
Grammar question: when listing a series of items where part of the nomenclature needs to be put in single quotes, do the commas fall inside or outside that single quote? For example:
... wonderful examples of Japanese Anemones are J. x 'Honorine Jobert', J. x 'September Charm', and J. x 'Whirlwind'.
For some reason earlier today I was sure that the commas went inside the single quote. But just trying to type it write now seemed hella wrong.

I got my flu shot today. I can't remember the last time I got one. My arm is sore now.

Ice cream made with wine I am down with. Ice cream in a dish with wine in a glass, nsm. I don't know what that's about.

And they are out of stock. Blast! I did put my e-mail in to be notified when they are back in stock.
Went to a wedding last night. One of the dojo "kids" I met when we moved here 6 years ago is now 21 and has tied the knot. It was the first wedding I've been to in a while and it was very lovely. There were a few of us ladies from the dojo and we all sat and cried together.
