Damn, this enormous continent! msbelle, I would love it beyond the telling of it, but this is not the year! I hope you get a house exactly as full as you would like it to be (and figure out a way to send a leftover turkey sandwich & a slice of pumpkin pie to California)!
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Not looking nice for Sanibel & Captiva islands.
My cousins have a condo on Sanibel (they are not there now) and I just heard the causeway is completely wiped out so it will be a while before anyone can get to the island to even find out what the damage has been.

Our wings are not tired.
Yes, I saw the pictures and it looks like just a relatively small section of the causeway collapsed, but no doubt the whole thing will have to be inspected. Not going to be a quick fix. They will be on ferry service I guess!
Cell service is sketchy so I am not getting a lot from the family there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It all looks so awful.

Our wings are not tired.
Yes, I have been watching their local news all day and more and more drone footage is showing the mess. Lots of roads and bridges gone. Beachfront mansions. Gone.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm still getting used to my new double oven, which came without instructions.
So when I tried to make a frittata, I wanted to use the broiler to brown the top. But instead I burned it all entirely black.
And I thought, "Well, that's an hour's worth of cooking and food wasted. Or....I can take off the burned top and treat this like a kind of strata."
Eggs, veg, cheese. It didn't look great but the underneath tasted fine.
My thought was, "You know what fixes just about anything? A good cheese sauce."
Now it turns out that Bi-Rite makes latkes you can buy before Rosh Hashannah. Which I did.
So if you're thinking, "If you took that strata and those latkes and you covered them both with a gorgeous, savory, chedder-y sauce that'd probably taste pretty good."
And you would be right.
In conclusion: Cheese sauce.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Normally this would be TCG’s night to take ltc to karate, but they have Krav instructors guest instructing today. So, I had to tag along.

Yum, cheese sauce!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I am suddenly sad that my veggie-tastic stir fry doesn't have cheese sauce.

I also had no cheese sauce for my turkey burger. Tragic, in retrospect.
