Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I was just emailed a photo of someone's computer screen, along with the question of if the document I sent her was a Word doc or a PDF.

That makes me want to stabinate. All. The. Things.

I'm probably not going to kill everyone.

I'll be your alibi if you'll be mine?

spaghetti with canned tuna in olive oil in a tomato sauce.

For us, it's a cold rice salad with tomatoes, potatoes, canned tuna in olive oil (or Simmenthal), marinated vegetables, eggs, onion, and peas. The longer it sits in the refrigerator, the better it tastes.

I was with shrift. We were nowhere near IL or PA at the time in question. I swear.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In her (very slight) defense, the photo of the screen was about a separate issue than what format the document is. BUT STILL. This is already my stupidest project ever.

Punishingly Intricate

What is Simmenthal?

I am a great hero who has not succumbed to the powerful urge to nap (yet). However, I've not accomplished anything I want to get done today.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I am also on Team Wants To Nap But Needs To Accomplish Things Instead.

Boo.

An Ecuadorian guy I used to date made something very similar as comfort food. Wait, I think that was eaten warm.Tasty, in any case.

Tuna mac&cheese (from can and box respectively) is, of course, a comfort food staple from college.

Dammit, I forgot my desktop crockpot insert, I'm gonna have to reheat my soup in the microwave. This is annoying me all out of proportion for TOTALLY LEGITIMATE REASONS

Edited to fix stuff because my typing is totally for shit today. I shoulda stood in bed.

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

Burrell, what other kind of noodle casserole is there? I mean, I guess I've had other noodle casseroles, just not called that. In my head, tuna is the only noodle casserole!

In my universe, the ne plus ultra of noodle casseroles is the noodle kugel my grandmother made. It was savory, not sweet. No raisins, no cinnamon, just cream cheese, sour cream and butter. Decadent, slightly salty, so damn good! I have made it a couple of times in my adult life, but I worry that it's a heart attack in a Corningware dish.

Ooh, that sounds great, Burrell.

Tuna mac&cheese (from can and box respectively) is, of course, a comfort food staple from college.

I add frozen peas to that. Healthy!

What is Simmenthal?

Short version? Italian SPAM. But so much better than SPAM. It's jellied beef. One of my favorite ways to eat it is with tomatoes, basil, and a little olive oil. Oh, and some bread.
