Gluten free people, does this [link] flourless peanut butter cookie recipe look do-able? I ask because I know gluten can hide in all sorts of wacky places, so I can't promise the safety of it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Andi, I make that one all the time, but without chocolate chips (because I'm lazy) or without salt (because the first recipe I found for the cookies didn't use salt). It works beautifully, although the dough seems unwieldy when you first mix it, but it eventually behaves. I roll the balls of dough in granulated sugar (although that's not necessary), and then I do the cross-hatching thing with fork tines. They're super yummy.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

That was the way I read it too, Brenda.

Flea, I'm so glad you all are okay!

I got to have dinner with Scola the other night, which, after an all-day migraine, made everything better.

Wah, strawberry season is over! Peach started but the first week is usually disappointing.

Punishingly Intricate

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, we only just got the first local strawberries last week.

In other news of summer, went to the beach! And am already home again because I was with my mother and that's how she rolls. Pretty sure Tuesday will also be a beach day, and then I'll be by myself.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Thanks, that $33 answer is the one I got as well.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

For reasons passing understanding, I woke up at 5 am today. So I treated myself to a leisurely breakfast at the local diner and then did my weekly shopping. I was home and had most of the day's chores done (at least the ones I had any plans to do, which probably doesn't encompass everything I should do) before 9 am. A nice byproduct, at least. Now I plan to spend the rest of the day reading Steampunk novels and hiding from the summer heat in my ACed apartment.

Our wings are not tired

Gronk.

I've already been up, fed all the pets, and taken the new work cargo van in to get a trailer brake controller installed, and now I'm back at the office trying to get myself into grove to work on a big estimate. It's not even 11 am, ugh.

Gudanov, I just read the last dozen or so posts on Building a Better Board. I know I have said it before, that I don't really understand what you are talking about - that I appreciate your hard-won knowledge and all the work you are putting in, bears repeating. I'm sure people who do know what you are talking about appreciate it even better.
