Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Hey, Frank. Can you send me your current address when you get a chance? Your Christmas card was returned this year.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm making oatmeal cookies, and the suggested cooking time is so insufficient, I don't know how small they think I can make them. Anyway, they will be delicious and (at least mostly) delivered to the neighbors.

Adventures in cooking:

Balsamic vinegar and honey dijon mustard are wonderful substitutes for the basic version in my egg salad. Oh, and the smoked salt was a nice touch, too.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Yum! I'll have to try that the next time I make egg salad.

Thrive to spite them

My adventures in cooking included the microwave spontaneously coming on causing me to drop my dinner (face down on the floor) and then in my replacement dinner making I accidentally melted my favorite spatula some in the pan.

I kept cooking because at that point I was hungry and did not want to start over a third time. I think I ate some of the plastic though. Or maybe it just flavored dinner.

The last time I had people over, I totally melted a spatula into the food, while everyone was right there! We picked it out and it was fine. Eh!

I'm sorry it was your favorite spatula, though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, hell, everything hurts and I hate everything.

I don't think Ouise would mind me sharing some positive news. This week she has her last chemo session. I visited her yesterday afternoon (with Elena). She's in good spirits and it was really nice to spend some time with her.
