Supersadface here: I am actually home ALL WEEK, so last night I went to the grocery store and bought a bunch of stuff, and made a huge (8X11) pan of breakfast strata....and this morning heated up the first piece...and it was AWFUL. I have no idea what went wrong with it (different bread would've been better, but I don't think would've completely fixed it, there were also some spice issues). Total waste of a whole bunch of asparagus and a dozen eggs! :(

Also I had creepy nightmares last night that were so realistic (in part of them I was in my bedroom, in bed, and woken up by awful things) that I had to get up and surf the internet for about 15 minutes before I could go back to sleep. And now I have a headache and am hoping the tylenol and coffee will make that go away. BOO today, I say!!

That sucks! So disappointing.

Yeah. I'm thinking I will have to find a different recipe, scrap the current stuff into the compost, and go buy more eggs and maybe some frozen asparagus this time (the fresh stuff is too expensive, but I was lured by lovely produce!) I still have milk and cheese and turkey bacon I can use, so just need eggs and bread and veg.

Nilly, I too wish you could be here, more. But I always like your New Year's message. Strix, like I said, she's a pro, and I've been mindfucked by the best. Hope that moment of victory is worth leaving a snail's trail in your relationship, M.'s mother.

What's the difference between strata and quiche?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That's right. From now on, they're going to use a calendar.

Genius!

What's the difference between strata and quiche?

Quiche = crust, round

Strata = chunks of bread mixed in, rectangle

Oh no! That is such a shame. And asparagus and eggs pair so well, usually. Sadface indeed.

If raccoons raid your compost, they will probably be happy.

OK, I don't mind people thanking co-workers for doing specific parts of their job, but the people replying-all with "your welcome" are starting to get on my nerves.

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

The bad news is that it's probably going to cost me more than "merely" replacing the engine because they're going to rebuild the one I have. The mechanic, who comes highly recommended, just hasn't been able to find a replacement engine with "low" mileage (it's a 10yo car), which he would trust.

A rebuilt used engine should be as good or nearly as good as a brand-new engine.
