I'm sorry you have to put up with all that, Rebecca. Hopefully the weekend will be relaxing and rejuvenating.

Gud, you're doing more this evening than I got done all weekend. Can you clone yourself, I need a you.

Grilled meat, melted provolone, on a good hoagie roll. Onions available on request.

I'm going to quibble and say an Amoroso roll. Also, for me, I think of cheese whiz as most authentic, though I like provolone better. And for me, though not traditional, mushrooms.

So I was right???

Yes, yes you were. I will totally affirm your rightness.

I have no opinion on cheesesteak as I believe, by any measure valued by those who love them, I've never had a proper cheesesteak. I've only had whatever it is they make here in California. A sandwich, on a roll, with steak and cheese in it.

Cheese Whiz is an abomination. (Who am I kidding, I'd eat it. But it's wrong, and I would ashamed.)

Untrue!! Whiz is one of the two possible cheeses on your steak.

I can totally do this. I have wine and beer and work.

You can totally do this! You also do have us.

A controversial opinion for the new millennium: La Croix is no better than Polar Seltzer, and possibly less good.

I fucking hate paint.

I have my own SodaStream machine, so I am godlike and have fizzy water whenever I want it. But I -- for real -- think all brands of fizzy water/seltzer are the same. So I'm kind of a heathen.

I share your heathen habits, Steph. I am perhaps even more heathen as I don't even have a soda stream.

Other than tonic water for my G&Ts and the occasional seltzer, I have very little interest in soda water at all.

On fajitas. I should stay away from cumin but I don't as much as I should. So I usually do corriander, fresh cilantro, slat and peppper, thyme, allspice, ( or a dash of ginger, groinf clove and nutmeg if you don't have all spice). Maybe some steak seasoning. The allspice will kick it more into Caribbean flavor but it's good.

I just ran away from home to go cuddle the cats I'm catsitting. Not because my cats are defective, just because I'm so sick of the state the house is in and frustrated every bit of progress is failing for stupid shit.

I don't like disruption, and that's the theme of the week in every aspect of my life. Work, home, pool (storms.)

Thanks, askye.

The grocery store was sold out of corriander, because our grocery store is always sold out of something I'm looking for.

I think I'm going to go with crushed red pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, a bit of sugar, and a bit of sea salt. Then add that to some worcestershire sauce to marinade the chicken in.

I'm trying to find the right combo to suit my wife's tastes and she wasn't big on cumin or chili powder. Thyme sounds interesting to me, but I don't think she'd go for that.

I tried a couple of mixes but they weren't quite right so I need to make my own so I can tweak the flavor to get what she wants.
