Thank you both. It's been a rough summer, but then summer tends to be a bit rough on me. I'm trying to just let go of the anger and frustration since fall is almost here and there's a new school year ahead, and that presents a whole different set of challenges.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

I think I'll try to make frangipane cream
What is frangipane? I turns up in British Bake-Off, and I don't know what it is.
ION, as I clean up the house, things end up in odd places. I looked over from my computer to see this looking at me.
After being mildly startled at eyes looking at me, I remembered it was this.
Bought in a short-lived Mexican furniture and art store in town about twenty years ago.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
What is frangipane?
I swear I thought it was a flower, but that can't be right.

It's used a lot in French Pastry...if you've ever had an almond croissant, the almond paste was probably frangipane.

I miss this place. I'm using the Chrome Beta browser on Android now and it seems to do a better job of keeping my place than the old one.
The only thing of note to report vis that a temporary rental car is making driving much much easier. As in "working AC easier."

The alumni group bowling thing was fine. No one there from within a decade of my graduation date, so that was not great. Everyone seemed nice though and I will go to ones in the future. Next one up includes a few other university alum groups.

msbelle, I admire how willing you are to go out and meet others. I've grown terrified of that sort of thing.
