Natter 76: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Foaminess
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.
Due South sounds perfect! I should dig out my dvds this evening.
I seem to recall reading that the first Deif looked the most wolfish, but he was also dumb as a bag of hammers, so they swapped him out for someone smarter.
Also, I think we had a thread about fat-free half and half that got COMMed back in the day. Something about it being a tautology and a sin against God and man?
It is overwhelming. I asked my son why he was still wearing a bandana when his employer supplies masks and he said the regular masks were worthless with his long beard.
Yeah, masks and beards don't mix very well. When I was working at the chemical company, I had to be taken off the first responder list for spills when an OSHA inspector pointed out that beards prevent chemical masks from sealing properly.
If I can't get prefab spreadable butter, I'ma make my own: let butter sit on the counter all night, then run it through the food processor with some olive oil. that ought to do it, I figure...
Butter will actually last quite a long time at room temperature, like at least a couple of weeks, before going rancid. My sister uses those holders that you invert over a saucer of water for hers, but I just been using a glass dish with a sealable lid and it's fine.
Did my weekly shopping this morning. Stop and Shop was looking pretty barren, but the other places I went were fine. The only thing I had trouble finding was tortillas, of all things.
I was also going to comment about spreadable butter! I just keep a stick of butter in a glass thingie, no fancy water, and it's fine, and mostly spreadable. (Although my kitchen is pretty cold in the morning, so it's not always THAT spreadable...)
I love that JZ's friend's mom is a DS BNF.
Also, did you all not see the amazing CDC beard reference sheet? French fork is no, walrus is OK.
I never watched due South, hmmm. Will have to put that on the list if the current queue finishes.
I hate this administration has woken the wolverine (not the character, the animal) in me.
I know. I am not accustomed to the kind of feeling I get when I see gun toting advocates of killing grannie, or anytime I see Mitch McConnell's face. I want them all sick, then I feel guilty for the thoughts.
Do we talk about Zoe's Extraordinary Playlist anywhere?
Yes! In Comedy. I haven't seen this week yet and it is taunting me in my Hulu queue. I enjoy it more and more.

I keep it out all the time when I am in Otter Lake for the summer, but here, even with A/C blasting it is a puddle before long. We end up zapping it for a few seconds in the microwave to soften it.

So, the CDC name for a Hitler mustache is a toothbrush? Good to know.
I ordered son a dozen more bandannas so he is more likely to change them at least daily. He only had about 6, which isn't enough. At least customers now have to wear masks and they are pretty good about cleaning the store surfaces.
Washable masks are easy to handwash, when you get home just walk back tovthe sink, and wash them at the same time you do your hands.
After I've soaped and rinsed my cloth mask, I use it as a washcloth for my face, then rinse again and hang it upbto dry.
Add me to the list of those who love Due South. And I thought the dog/wolf in the first season was the best looking, but they changed him out in later seasons.
And I always remember one scene where Fraser is in a closet with Ray's sister (Francesca?) who has a huge crush on him. She sniffs and asks what she smells and he says it's neat's foot oil ... he rubs it into his Sam Browne. At which point she's ALL ears and says "Sam Browne?" and he (repressively) replies it's his BELT. sigh ....
First world problems. Taco Bell changed their breakfast menu. No more breakfast quesadillas which I LURVED. The substitute I tried today was underwhelming. So I guess my waistline thanks you and I am back to no Taco Bell in my life.
