I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Super windy here, but the advisory ends at 11a. I hope that's accurate. Need to visit my mother today and stock the larder.

Right now I'm getting black beans soaked for black bean and sweet potato soup later and cooking bulgur so I have bulgur. Last night I made butter bean soup and made chicken stock from a roasted chicken (I bought it roasted) carcass. I feel very domestic and glad I finally tackled my kitchen nightmare last weekend. Much more to tackle overall, but at least now I'll be healthily fed.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That's appalling, tommyrot. Seems kind of unbalanced actually.

Try splitting leftover biscuits, spread each half with a little butter, add a biscuit-sized slab of very extra sharp cheddar and run them under the broiler for a few minutes

Yum! When I have leftover biscuits I like to do that with just butter, but adding cheese sounds amazing.

So I woke up at 6 am feeling rested and refreshed and it was already getting light. I know I'll be less happy with the time change at 5 o'clock tonight when it's already dark.

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

I was riding in a coworkers car on Friday and it had little blowers in the headrests that blew hot air on your neck. Delicious.

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

Wow. My car only has butt-warmers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good stuff, Jen!

I think I'll make some meat sauce with pot roast out of the freezer. It's definitely a day to have something on the stove here.

Pumpkin's on one radiator, tucking her paws between the segments; Loki's on the other, sprawled with abandon. Clearly, they've been waiting for this.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Below 66 inside, I can't deal.

I join you in delicate-flower solidarity.

Butt warmers - I was forewarned that if you didn't know what was going on, you might think you were peeing. Kind of true! Glad for the heads-up.

Wow, Howdy Doody Time is on TV. I think I've never actually seen an episode, so I'm in.

I wish I had pot roast in the freezer. Yum.

I was not forewarned, and it was very confusing!

When I was a kid, I had a Howdy Doody Little Golden Book that I LOVED, and my mother hated. Good times.

Oh joy, it's snowing. Sort of.

Now I have to do work.

hip deep in pie

I turned the heat on yesterday. It never goes on before November 1st, and I usually try to hold out for longer, but, hey, I was cold!
