Sorry, black pleather animal print? I...is it black, or animal print? I feel like black pleather skirt is hard to pull off for business, but animal print pleather would be near impossible.

Agreed, but your vision of business may vary.

No, it's black pleather skirt with animal-print blouse.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I think the blouse is animal print, not the skirt, but I am guessing here.

I was exhaustle-pated and had a lie down. Didn't actually nap, but rest was good. Now I am making dinner for everyone. Sandwiches for Cody and myself because he asked for that, ravioli for the kids because they asked for that too.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

No, it's a black pleather skirt and, separately, an animal print blouse. I bought them at the same time, and they would totally go together, but I'm thinking maybe not to the office. OTOH, what would go better with the skirt? Solid long-sleeve blouse, maybe? Sweater?

Yay being home being awesome!

Not gonna wear it tomorrow, in any case - high of 91 pretty much puts the kibosh on pleather.

I have to stay up until midnight so I can read tomorrow's strip as soon as it posts.

I totally get that. I don't think Willis is gonna go full Minear on us, but who knows? And that would be pretty upsetting.

New TJs find: feta spread. It's basically a cream cheese+ yogurt+ feta with a sorta Mideast/ Greek herb blend of garlic, mint, basil and oregano . Like. Good on lots of things.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, for freezing purposes, should I make butternut/black bean enchiladas, or a butternut/kale pasta bake?

Anything understated. That balances out the pleather.

He killed Dina off in a previous strip. And he killed Ruth off in a different previous strip. DoA is basically all his previous strips thrown into a blender and remixed.

He's said repeatedly that no one will die in DoA. But there's a lot of awful shit that can happen short of dying.

I've made bean-less butternut squash enchiladas, and they freeze and reheat well. But lasagna freezes and reheats well, too (which is my comparison food for the pasta bake), so...basically, I'm no help.

Yeah, I know, I just don't feel like he's going there right now. But that could, of course, be wishful thinking.

Those both sound good - do you have something else to do with the kale if you don't do the bake? That would be the deciding factor for me, I think, what will keep if you don't use it.
