I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

I've also found almost 9 acres of land in Austin that we could easily build 30+ houses on. The land cost would be less than $50K per person and then we'd have to build the houses.

I don't have chili or apple crisp, but I did make roast CSA cauliflower with tahini sauce, which I always wish I'd made more of because it is THE BEST.

I'm up for moving to the buffista compound with msbelle.

Our wings are not tired

I'm sending positive thoughts your way Jesse.

I'm so sorry Jesse.

I am too tired to provide distraction. Sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Tell me more about this, because I just bought a big jar of tahini to make CSA baba ganoush.

So, I chop the cauliflower into florets and toss it with EVOO, salt, cumin, and curry powder, and roast it in a hot oven until the edges are brown and crispy and the florets are softish. The tahini sauce is tahini, garlic, salt, lemon juice, and water. (You need to add water because when you mix tahini with lemon it seizes up. The water turns it back into a sauce. I pretty much just toss all the things into a bowl and hit it with the stick blender, and then add more of whatever it needs.)

Mmm, OK, I will do that.

Oof, Jesse, I'm so sorry.

I vacuumed and mopped and swam a horrid slow swim. Today was out of whack because it was Morgan homecoming, which means my usual errands become a debacle if I try. So I didn't. And next weekend is the marathon, so I need to borrow a tambourine again.

I think it is finally being fall, at least according to cats. They've been touching while sleeping. Pumpkin even flat out sat on Loki when there wasn't more space on the couch. It's 70 inside. Wimps.

Tomorrow, target, catfood and perhaps tacos.

Jesse, if it would be a welcome distraction, you should get ridiculous cat toys for the new guy and see what he likes. If he's not interested, you can donate (or let them languish under the couch.) And if going out is too much, chewy.com (and I found I could order a ridiculous amount of litter cheaper than stores to get free shipping and it showed up in 2 days.) (And yes, I have 3 40lb bags of litter in my basement. And I feel ridiculous, but also glad about the deal I got.)
