Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Our wings are not tired.

Perfect and appropriate response from the school.

In other news I made Bear Creek chili tonight

I made vegan Indian chili yesterday for DH and he declared it awesome. His reward for going to the Indian shop for me to buy spices.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good response, David!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Just adding my "Hooray for Matilda's school!"

Also, why did no one point me to Blue Haze's version of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" before? Brilliant mid-tempo reimagination of a beautiful song.

Driving in to work this morning, I noticed that all those taillights on the highway before me reflecting off the fog yields a very heading-into-Mordor vibe.

vegan Indian chili

I varied from recipe because I use canned beans and don't soak and all that.

Sauteed half a large onion, bunches of garlic, large red pepper, and a few small hot peppers. Added: 2 Tbls minced ginger, 1-1/2 tsp cumin seeds, 1 Tbl chili powder, 1 tsp garam masala, 1/2 tsp cayenne. Cook with spices for a couple minutes then added a can each of black and garbanzo beans, large can crushed tomatoes, some veg broth (but water fine), splash of lemon juice, and a handful of parsley (didn't have cilantro on hand)

Very tasty and not as hot as you would think, but we do like spicy.

That sounds yummy, Laura. Hybrid cuisine for the win!
