I caught an episode of Globe Trekker that was all about CHEESE - going to a cheese fair in England, visiting cheesemakers in France, Italy, Switzerland and Greece ... and tasting both the cheeses and dishes made with the cheeses. yum!
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Ha, I had Nora's feelings about carbonara, but I didn't want to seem like I was being persnickety. Who was I kidding, that's who I am and that's who we are. (We do make ours with peas at home, because that way you get a VEGETABLE in one dish.)

The oatmeal carbonara sounds intriguing to me, but I think it might be better with polenta as a base.

I need to stop shuttling between multiple weather sites. One page has less than an inch of snow on Wednesday. Another site has 5-8 inches of snow for a spot five miles away on Wednesday. Utah has freaky weather, but a storm putting down half a foot of snow is not going to be impressed by town boundaries.

That does sound good, sj. Mmm, polenta. The recipe I have calls for steel-cut oats and rolled oats and oat bran, and I'm going to have to try following the recipe exactly at least once to find out how all that works together before I experiment...
Y'all, my co-worker gave me the best compliment on my outfit. I came in wearing my purple rainjacket and purple rainshoes and carrying my purple purse, and put all that away to put on houndstooth pumps that match my houndstooth skirt and reveal my blue sweater and blue tights that pretty much match the blue streak in my hair. He said I look like a well-designed comic character. At last I know how to describe my personal style!

That's an awesome compliment, -t.

Right?
Shoot, the Kaiser app that reminds me when to take my medicine has discontinued interval scheduling. I guess that was too useful and practical. Sigh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That is a perfect compliment!
I had my morning of interviews, which went well, I think? Then had a voicemail from my mattress delivery saying they would be here well before their scheduled window and possibly before me! However, I am now home and changed and stripped the bed and they are not here yet, so that's good. (The scheduled window opens in 10 minutes.)
