"FUCK YEAH, I LOVE FISTING GOURDS!" was her enthusiastic reply.
Love it!!
Also love you guys making it happen, Laura! A friend of mine just got her mother registered today, the last day in MA, so maybe I shouldn't be so smug that everyone I know is all set.
If the Madwoman is okay with straining the seeds from the pumpkin guts, and if you have a cast iron skillet, heat it up to really really hot, toss the rinsed and drained seeds in with a couple dashes of soy sauce until they start hopping around. Some of them will actually pop and puff up. Sooooo damn tasty. Worth the guts-sifting, I swear.
Fingers crosssed for job-having, Cass. Yay for neice's logjam busting, Zen, and for polls-working with B, Laura. Glad the fever broke, msbelle. Hope you continue to get better. Baked oatmeal sounds awesome (and I do like dairy, in moderation. Cheeeese, for example. But not in oatmeal).
The pumpkin guts and seeds separate fairly easily if you soak the whole mess in water.
We voted! Filled out the ballots and took them to a local drop box at the community center. May the Cheeto in chief have post presidential legal troubles forevermore.
Then the White House should be thoroughly disinfected, blessed, exorcised and smudged.
Fumigated. And smoke cleansed again.
The gold needs to be melted down and proceeds donated to migrant relief.
The temporary occupant voted in my county yesterday. (Doesn't trust the mail?) I expect they cleansed well after his visit. He is as popular here as he was in Manhattan.
Not enough sage in the world.
Mid-forties and rainy here today - the perfect recipe for a lazy Sunday? I think so.
I'm still so chuffed that I repaired a zipper yesterday -- on a pair of pants that I've 'put aside' for perhaps ten or more years, meaning to take them to a tailor for expensive replacement. Instead I happened across a YouTube video that showed me what to do, and in the time when the video was still talking I got the damn zipper back on track and working as it should. It's like having a new pair of pants!
