That reminds me- does anyone know how long a fetal pig stays good?
It depends on how it is rendered -- is it packed in oil? water? Was it frozen? What kind of container?
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

La Cuchara. Clavel is still doing traditional fare, not grocery.

I finally decided I wanted to order a burger and fries for takeout because someone else would be making my food. Got here half an hour after my order and they said 20 more minutes. Apparently everyone had the same idea. Now I'm hungry!!

Happy Birthday Sheryl! It's before midnight here, so it's still Friday.
Too much milk- caramel flan?

What is even happening?
Of all the questions I've ever read here, or ASKED here, or thought someone might one day ask here...this was never, EVER one of them.
I laughed so loud that I woke up the kitty.
Same, except I startled the dog.
My Fetal Pig
When I was a high school senior, I worked at a small family-owned grocery store, the kind that's now hard to find. One of my co-workers was also my lab partner in my high school Anatomy & Physiology class.
Susan and I dissected our fetal pig together. We named her after our boss's son, who was a few years older. Overall, he was funny and decent to us, but could be an utter pig of a different order. L was best friends with Susan's brother, and my dad and his dad were friendly, so he left her alone. Where I was concerned, L split his time with me either flirting madly, or regaling me with tales of his sexual exploits. I never got how he thought that would do anything other than turn me off, but where I was concerned he was basically harmless if wildly inappropriate.
Flash-forward a few years, L is also the person who ran into my mom right after I finished college and told her to tell me to apply for a job at the hospital where he worked and served as a reference for me.
Our offices were off-campus in the Charlestown Navy Yard, where, co-incidentally, my mom worked for a public agency. She was supposed to pick me up after my 1st Christmas party there. I was outside waiting for her (which never happens -- if mom is only 5 minutes early, she apologizes for being late) when it started to snow pretty heavily. I went back inside to the lobby pay phone to call and see if she got delayed at work, when my L came by and said he would drive me home.
He talked me into staying, so I did. Soon thereafter, he introduced me to his co-worker who had worked there much longer than I had, but I'd never before laid eyes on him.
And that, kids, is how I met your father.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
That's just... Neat!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ugh, I got to sleep at 1:30, woke up again at 3, read until 6, and slept until 12:45. My body is profoundly unhappy from being in bed that long.
