Natter 75: More Than a Million Natters Served
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I appreciate the explanation, Steph.
Today has been a total self care day so far. I feel very indulged but now I need to buckle down and get some homework done.
I got the pedicure and fucked up one of the big toes, as I would have predicted. Oh well -- no one is seeing them anyway!
Roasted carrot and red lentil ragout is simmering...
I'm about to make a strawberry sour cream pie.
Anybody else read ragout as rage out? I spent about half a second trying to figure out why the red lentils were so upset with the carrots.
The ragout has a little kick to it (2 kinds of chili powder, plus cayenne) but I wouldn't call it angry. It's less flavorful than I might have liked, but not bad. It makes for a pretty easy, filling, and cheap winter stew.
Oooh, strawberry sour cream pie. I need to look that up.

Thanks for the explanation, Tep! I appreciate the pharmsplaining, actually.
I just baked 10 doz oatmeal cookies of different varieties, per request: straight up raisin, raisin and chocolate chip, raisin and cranberry and chocolate,, blueberriy and raspberry and chocolate, blueberry and cherry and strawberry and cranberry and chocolate.
I can actually tell them apart by smell.
I'll probably make espresso fudge ones too. Not delivering all at once, breaking it up I've the next couple weeks to hit all shifts.
I swear, I'm delivering them with a voting sheet. But a diehard raisin hater who just really was hungry when I brought in the last batch told me he loved them, to the point he is rethinking his raisin hate. I think the secret is melted butter and all brown sugar.
