That sounds delicious Consuela! Even if it's a little dry that's what all the cream is for, right?
I'm going to the film fest later, which will be nice. I have downloaded a bunch of books from the library but haven't managed to read most of them.
Plus bonus points for use of the word 'mosey'.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We went to the pet store to pickup dog food and we ended up with a new kitten! I always go over to see where the shelter kitties on display are, even though my DH put his foot down about us having three cats. Well, there was an 11-week-year-old black kitten. lounging on his little bed and as soon as we said hi, he started kneading his paws in the air with great enthusiasm. Mr. "Three Cats Is Too Many" fell in love and now we get to go pick up our new guy later in the week and bring him home!!!!!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Hi all. I'm back from Helsinki. It got cold while I was gone, and now if I'm making a lap, the cat is on it Anyway, thanks for the recommendations upthread. I didn't make it to Tallinn, but I did go to Suomenlinna, an island a bit closer to Helsinki. I visited a ton of churches, museums, shops, restaurants, and even met up with a distant family member (her great-grandmother was a sister to one of my great-grandmothers, I believe).
now we get to go pick up our new guy later in the week and bring him home!!!!!
Yay new kitties!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's so cool, Calli!
Yay new kitty!
Mmm, cake.
Sophia, is creamed tuna different from tuna salad?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Kitten!!!
Zucchini waffles?? I'm torn between intrigued and grossed out...
Have you had zucchini bread? It was like that. You don't taste the zucchini.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Gud, if you don't get the kids to help you cook, et cetera, they're not learning important life skills. (Ideally, your wife should be doing that as well -- why isn't she?) Yes, it's sometimes more work to get the kids to "help" but they're going to end up with pink underwear at college the first time they do laundry on their own -- or worse than that.
(Hive mind: what Britcom had the Chore Wheel?)

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

KITTEN!!
Pulled both ACs, only thought I was gonna die once (next year, getting another human to help, seriously) and then replaced the teetering rolling rack in the closet with 3 new rods(I love my mitre saw, even if for not mitreing) and now I can fit both ACs in the closet in the off-season! And I need to go through the clothes I transferred. Uhg. Some can be donated, some need to become rags.
Also tambourined at the marathon for 3 hrs. Still kinda feeling that & the ac lifts.
