I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

One of the things I am making this year is roasted cauliflower where you roast it whole. I'm hoping it comes out as pretty as the pictures. It roasts for over an hour so I plan to toss a whole bunch of asparagus around it to roast the last 15 minutes or so. Mmmmm cauliflower. Love it about anyway you can cook it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

The meds are handled. And I took a nap with the dog.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Cindy, that story is hilarious.

Oh hey, Pangs. Might have to watch that tonight.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sparky, I'm so sorry about your uncle.

Also, you're having your roof removed in January?!

My condolences to you and your family, Sparky.

Oh, Sparky, condolences to you & yours.

My day was just stupid. Got to work, realized I'd left my food at home. No problem, we have a grocery store, 2 restaurants and food trucks just downstairs (not to mention riches a couple blocks away.) At which point, I discover I've left my wallet at home as well. Went home to work from there the rest of the day, cramps hit.

Otoh, after I clean up the leaves tomorrow, I'm gonna go to Maria's family TG & talk too much.

I'm so sorry Sparky.

I went for a massage today. I had a cold about 4-5 weeks ago and I've dealing with some pulled muscles or a misaligned rib in my back ever since. Then my massage therapist said, "I can feels something on your rib. I can't diagnose, but I think you might have a fracture."

I rebooked at the end of my massage, and her next available time outside my work hours is in March. I'm never giving her name to another person.

Most of my cooking I am going to delegate to the kids tomorrow. I'll supervise and have all the ingredients and recipes already assembled. My back has been in misery the last few days. I did manage to put up 4 long tables and cover them with brown paper set the tables. 12 people so I took the long tables from work and assembled them in a square so everyone would be facing each other. Forgot to get table cloths so I used the brown paper rolls they have been using for painting. Looks fine!

I did cook the cranberry relish so it could chill overnight and put together the broccoli lasagna for baking tomorrow. I'm patting myself on the back for having the foresight to make sure my boys could cook! They will be fine doing the rest. GF doesn't have any real cooking experience, but Bobby and I have been teaching her.

I'm exhausted and rambling. However, I do have to add that msbelle has most awesome hair.
