Cooking for one is surprisingly satisfying. I made another calzone and have discovered that croissant dough makes an acceptable crust. As a grownup I realized that I can overload my calzone with ricotta cheese and Canadian bacon. I can also discover why overloading with ricotta is not a good idea and that I need to mix my cheeses. And I can additionally discover that there doesn't seem to be a downside to overloading on Canadian bacon.
Nothing worse than a monster who thinks he's right with God.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It seemed like I could keep reading it as long as I didn't try to open another book. Curse my foolish looking up of recipes!
In this particular case, I've given in to my impatience and just bought a copy. And upped my default loan time to 14-days for the future.

Croissant stuffed with ricotta and canadian bacon sounds fabulous, Connie! I also find it liberating to cook for just myself. If it doesn't come out great, it's not like anyone but me cares and I can try again later with lessons learned.

Cooking for one is surprisingly satisfying.
Whereas I was just coming here to whinge about my loathing for cooking, especially for myself, and I understand why I was so skinny when I lived on my own in my 20s. Besides my youthful metabolism, that is.
Parts of this month of bachlorette life are fun. Cooking for myself is not one of those parts.

Dan and I were going to stay in and have some drinks, finally watch "Snowpircer."
But we got a last minute invite to go over to some friends' house, eat pizza and play Settlers of Cataan. And drink wine. So that's going to be our evening.
It'll be an early night, since I have an 8:30 yoga class tomorrow & my friend is getting her yoga certification and has to be at her studio at 7 am, but that's A-OK. I'm pretty beat.

Oh, Snowpiercer, that's a good idea. I haven't done that yet. I could make popcorn.
I would like it noted for the record that I am a nice person who answers these damn phone surveys about whatever election is coming up.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
surely you could muster up the spoons to cough up a surname? Maybe? Just an initial?
I respect people's need to grieve, but...really? They can't type out "Smith" but they CAN type out "I'm too distraught right now; IM me later"? IT'S MORE LETTERS!
