Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't see why you couldn't?

Our wings are not tired.

Latkes sound like a good idea, but unless someone wants to make them for me it isn't going to happen.

Went to Costco to pick up Zoe's drugs, and they had to ask my address because they had 2 Zoe Holts in their system. Huh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Do you think I can make cauliflower latkes?

If you fry them in oil they should taste pretty good! I mixed my pre-shredded potatoes with a mix of onions and leeks, one beaten egg and lots of seasoning.

I don't see why that wouldn't work with cauliflower. I've made hash out of leftover roasted cauliflower and it tastes pretty great.

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

With the frozen hasbrowns, you wouldn';t be able to do that magic drain the shredded potatoes and re cover the starch from the water thing. I don't know how much difference it would actually make to the final product, but some, surely

It makes a HUGE difference. Sooooo much crispier.

So we're buying Dominic a car for bday/Xmas. How.is.he.turning.16.

(Really, it's just so mom & dad can get out of the schlepping & Josh's cars are..special. So just getting a reliable boring beater for the fam so dad can try to coax nongearhead son into maintenance & repair since it's 'his' car & son will probably get gearhead younger brother to do the work, for a fee.)

Go for it, Sophia. If Trader Joe's can do it, so can you.

Seriously, there were no potatoes in Eastern Europe until the 16th century, they were frying anything and everything before then I have no doubt.

I have very little sense of who is who in your family, sarameg, but that's shocking. The passage of time, I will never get used to it.

I used to order sweet potato pancakes at Slim Goodie's thinking they would be like larked but with sweet potatoes (they had regular latkes on the menu, so not an unreasonable assumption) but they were more like pumpkin pancakes but with sweet potatoes. Not bad, by any means, but not what I was hoping for.

Josh is my brother, Dominic is my eldest nephew who can't be 16. He was just born unexpectedly in a xmas Eve hail/tornado/thunderstorm in Texas (where they haven't lived in 14 yrs.)

Got it. Still gobsmacked by passage of time, but have the people straight in my head for now.
