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.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

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

Because books.
Oooh, strawberry sour cream pie. I need to look that up.
Anybody else read ragout as rage out?

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I feel like that was pharmasplaining. Sorry.
You're the expert! It would only be pharmasplaining if I was telling you how it was a speedball.
Yes, I think her undiagnosed heart condition was the x-factor involved.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Suddenly I am rethinking my "Doc was just playing with his new toy" attitude toward my PCP hooking me up to his office EKG machine to take readings before, during, and after prescribing and discontinuing my first attempts to take ADHD meds.

When I was a kid, I loved a show called The Big Valley, a family saga set in 1870s California. I just found it on Hulu, and I did not get all the political stuff back then. This is cool.

I think that show was always just ending when I got home from school. I've seen the closing credits many times.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Oh my god, Melissa McCarthy.
