Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I'm trying to write up notes from a conference call that took place last Thursday. A lot of it didn't make sense anyway (I didn't have the info they kept referring to, although I could find it later) and I was bored out of my mind. That, and with the intervening time and drama, and I'm finding myself even more bored. This is one thing in my job that I really hate ... it's boring, it's tedious, but it saves my boss being bogged down with it.

Thrive to spite them

We had country ribs last night and I had accidentally taken too much out so today I chopped them up, added onions, carrots and celery and the country ribs to the crock pot, threw in some shisito peppers because I need to finish those up, seasoned it with some cumin, paprika, bay leaf, thyme, oregano and a few other things and let it cook away. I didn't trim the fat enough so I had to add some things, added a little Worcestershire , a bit of red wine vinegar, and I've just turned it to warm and threw in some cilantro and green onions while the rice cooks. I thought of the rice after I threw in the cilantro and green onions otherwise I would have waited.

Tastes pretty nice. Needs some corn bread but we are out of milk.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I've been home today and yesterday.(My on days this week are Thursday and Friday) We've had the nanny in for a few hours both days since Gary had a webinar yesterday and some conference calls today, and I have work to do.(Mostly data editing, but it's something to do.) Still tired.

My niece asked if I wanted something from teh good local grocery store, so I asked for organic cheese curls, apples, and spreadable butter. I'm such a fucking snowflake.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

My weekly food delivery order is on its way. 8 substitutions for those playing along at home. I can't get any ground pork or ground meatloaf mix to make a bolognese.

Our wings are not tired.

Please observe how valiantly I am not pouring myself a glass of the wine I needed to open to cook the lamb, because Work.

Most impressive. Of course it is now past 5 here, so I say go for it. Also, {{{-t}}

Side-note: what is the point of fat-free Half & Half? Shouldn't it just be called Half?

I did not know such a silly thing existed! Much ~ma for your residents Theo. It's a real plus to get the regular testing.

I went to the grocery store! First time in weeks. I'd say 70% of people ignored the one way signs in aisles. Grrr.

This reminds me I need to add thermometer to my spam list. Seriously, the number of emails I get.
