Brava, shrift!
The dog-sitter (my niece, who is building a pretty good sideline in house-sitting) left a small portion of mocha chip ice cream in the freezer, so that was dessert. OTOH, she also didn't run the dishwasher, didn't put out the garbage, didn't bring in the mail, and did a surprisingly poor job washing the pots she'd used. I had to rewash three of them.
Yay for the ice cream, anyway.
Now I shall return to my regularly-scheduled GBBO. (I may try to make a Bakewell Tart this weekend, it looks pretty simple.)
Woo shrift!
Nice one, Matt. I do like a multi-source reference, and that's a beauty.
Yay ice cream? I will forebear to criticize the niece's professionalism. And have a cupcake.
mmm, cupcakes.
More GBBO: apparently Paul Hollywood has never experienced the brilliance that is banana and peanut butter together. WTF.
I have no respect for Paul Hollywood's opinions about some things. Like all American desserts.
The American pie thing was frustrating. Lots of American pies are double crusts and people doNT decorate single crust pies that much . At least in my experience.
Sorry about the cold, sarameg. My go to method when I suspect a cold is to drown myself with both water and Vitamin C. Flush that sucker out. It works for me anyway.
Yay for learning and for gin & tonic!
I think I officially have a couple cats now. They were my neighbor's cats and she died, then her mother took care of them, then she moved. So over the last couple months we have been feeding them and moving their bowl closer and closer so it is at my house now. They are now spending most of the time under, over, or in our cars and boat. And will walk over for love and pets now! The next time we have a storm I'll see if they want to come inside. They go in the garage now. Still have to see how Zoe does with them, but my experience has been that cats manage to avoid dogs if they don't want to play. One seems a bit old and tired. We'll see how it goes.
Yay cats!
I got three pairs of shoes from Zappos last night and returned two this morning. Efficient!
Jesse, I aspire to that level of efficiency. I'm terrible about returning things, even to stores, nevermind when I have to mail something back.
What are people doing this weekend. We're going to head out to a garlic festival as soon as ltc wakes from her nap.
