I am trying to psych myself up to go to the networking happy hour at my conference. I am not a natural networked and 6pm is not my best time of day (I am honestly better at 6 am.) But the big girl thing to do is go and set a goal of talking to x number of people and staying at least an hour, right? Then I can go read romance novels in my jammies in bed.

Thanks, y'all.
I'm watching The Big Lebowski and eating Left over Mexican food. It seems like a decent way to spend the evening.

Way to go, meara!
Good plan, flea!
Also good plan, Calli!
I am overflowing with enthusiasm and exclamation points!
My broken report wasn't as awful to fix as I feared. Still not done, but progress has been made. My chef salad from yesterday did not fare too well, I think the lettuce got frozen at some point (before yesterday, probably, although who knows what the work fridge does overnight). I'll probably still eat it, but it doesn't look too appetizing.

My folks are coming through town this weekend, so cleaning is going on.

Yup, that lettuce was inedible. Everything else was pretty much salvageable, but didn't really add up to a satisfying meal.

Hey, does blue cheese count as a cultured/fermented food?

I'd assume so.

I'm going to take Hil's answer as definitive, because it's what I want to hear. Healthfood!
I baked a couple of small sweet potatoes for dinner, so I sprinkled pumpkin pie spice on one and five spice powder on the other, for science, but then I forgot which was which. Will have to repeat the experiment. Fortunately, I see a lot of small sweet potatoes in my future.
