I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Strangely, y'all have not convinced me to trade in my pizza craving for burrito. I'm usually so susceptible to suggestion!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, Shir, I hope you and roommate are OK!

I guess I've always thought of quinoa as a starchy side like couscous rather than a salad ingredient, but it makes sense.

I think of couscous as a salad ingredient, too! Especially in the summer.

I'm about to make a salad approximating my old favorite Sweetgreen salad, which includes wild rice. [link]

Hey. New board.

Right now I'm wishing I had pursued a programming career instead of a teaching one. Dealing with the types of problems work-from-home-teaching causes beings me so little joy.

I know this is probably a grass-is-greener thing, but it would be nice to have a checklist of bugs to work through quietly and alone right now.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

msbelle - I sent you a reply.

I haven't had breakfast, so I am not interested in a burrito presently.

But I do want a shower.

Mmmm, beets.

That's understandable, Gris. This is presumably temporary, though, right? Right? Trying to remind myself, also.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I went through a brief quinoa phase but it turned out I prefer brown rice in every quinoa recipe out there, and it's about a gazillion times cheaper.

I really wish I had a burrito now. I had enchiladas a couple of days ago, but then my lousy family went and ate them all just because they were "leftovers" and "in the fridge" and "delicious."

I woke up at stupid-o'clock in the morning and then couldn't get back to sleep after an anxiety dream about...eating dinner in a restaurant with my sister. Not a nightmare-scary restaurant where anything bad happened, just a normal pre-2020 dining experience that completely ruined my ability to relax and get back to sleep for the next 4 hours.

That is amazing

Our wings are not tired.

I just finished an egg salad sub so I have no need for a burrito at this time.

I'm trying to give up dairy to see if it eliminates my persistent cough (it probably will), as coughing in public can cause people discomfort. I expect it is an allergy/digestive cough so no cheese for a while. Boo.

Shir, much negative~ma for the roommate and you. Do you have convenient testing options?
