High School was big soaps time for me. That was when Dark Shadows was on too. Loved it. Watching them made me appreciate the series Soap that much more.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Connie, you can add more butter or parmigiano if you want a less acidic tomato sauce. There are a lot of little tweaks you can do but that's the first thing that comes to mind. Also if you sautee onions and carrots in butter first and them build the sauce around that it will have some depth of flavor and less acid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also just add sugar.

This weekend+1: stock up for invalidhood. Meaning not just noncontraversial food, but all the heavy stuff I might need for the next 2-3 weeks. Bake 5 dozen cookies. Clean my house, because that too won't be happening for a bit (between recovery and Xmas.) Launder everything (see previous.) Last 2 swims before hiatus. Talk to Y trainers (haven't run into the one I'm friendly with recently.)Go to cookie swap. Stop eating and drinking at midnight Sunday. Take cookie swap cookies to neighbors and Y. Get gallbladder yanked.

I still say the best tomato sauce is Marcella Hazan's: butter, onion, and tomatos. That's it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, that's the first one I thought of too.

Also, I really don't care for Bactrim. It's not making me nauseous per se, just makes food seem gross, which is the last thing I need right now. Odds are I'm gonna drop below 140 for the first time since I was 18. And I've got a lot more muscle now.
I'm tempted to take pre-surgery pics of my torso, just for me. Because I've never had major surgery before, and this will leave at least 4 scars from a knife. It's all just so strange to me. I grew a freaking rock, likely for no other reasons than genetics, it deformed an organ, silently, for years, and then went critical. Now they'll chop my insides open and reduce me an organ. And shotglasss sized stone. WTEverlovingF.

Aw, the guy who played Stefano on Days of Our Lives passed away.
Aww- Stefano...
And I totally remember Eugene and Calliope.
I followed multiple channels of soaps, too. Days was my first soap, but then I moved to ATWT and GL.

I need to get freezer bags to store things in. I wish a third of my freezer wasn't taken up with an ice maker I don't use.
