I can have furniture delivered on Tuesday along with a bunch of stuff I've been putting on my Amazon wishlist and get someone in to set up internet.

That sounds good, especially getting stuff delivered that quickly. Would you then just sleep on the couch until the stuff arrives? And do an air bed or something Monday night?

I don't get in Thursday until 4:20, so I think most everything will be done, but I can come help if necessary. And the hotel reservation is in my name, so let me know if you want me to extend it.

my bank is run by Saruman The White and The King in Red (from Last First Snow). This is bad. This is the second time this is bad. Why am I still with this bank.

shrift in San Francisco. It just seems so right. From way over here, anyway.

Over here, too, I must say. Oh, I have a single air bed and sheets that fit if they are needed, shrift, although getting them to you on Monday might be tricky.

Oh, hey, brenda, we share coworkers! Who knew? Although mine only IM if I am away from my desk when they call, to tell me I have a voicemail and what it's about.

I am going to go visit shrift in San Francisco too!

Maybe I will come armed with booze so I don't get stabbinated. Also, wait a month or so.

Note to self: even if you have a black dress with only a tiny bit of white trim, that white trim will attract your lunch. Especially if it's curry.

I worry that it's a heart attack in a Corningware dish.

The latest is that dairy fat is good for you!

The only tuna fish thing I remember my mother making was a sort of tuna melt on English muffins. Her go-to quick noodle dish was Skillet Dish -- ground beef, onions, green pepper, can of vegetable soup, noodles and lots of Worcestershire sauce.

One of my favorite comfort foods is ground turkey, sour cream and onion soup mix (brown the turkey first,drain, add the other ingredients and cook on low) served over a toasted english muffin. SO GOOD.

oh, that sounds good. We used to have a tuna melt thing on biscuits that was a recipe off the Bisquik box. Always liked that.

Mmm Scrappy's turkey thing I have almost all the ingredients for. Noted for when I can chew...

Cheese for the win! I knew cheese would never betray me.

I cannot eat ground beef unless it involves a LOT of cheese or is part of a hamburger. What my mother did with ground beef haunts me still. Ground beef, elbow macaroni, and stewed tomatoes. Dear god, just reading that combination makes me bilious. She called it slumgullion, and I concede that she grew up poor in the Depression, but by the late 60s I would think she would come up with some variant on the food. And burnt-offering pork chops. Poor woman, she never really did learn how to cook--though her fudge and meatloaf were celestial. And she could make divinity from scratch.

Timelies all!

My mom made a basic tuna noodle casserole with noodles, cream of mushroom soup and tuna. It was layered.
