'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Mushroom Stew in Pastry Cups: A+. One of my best stews. We know this recipe now and it's locked in.
I think I need this recipe.
I kinda wish I'd had a dessert but planning that for 1 person while in tech is challenging. I did have some fancy tea, which was nice. The curry (slow-cook chickpea, red lentil, and pumpkin) turned out okay, if a bit mild. If I make it again I'll give it a bit more kick.
Timelies all!
Went to work today. Not much else going on.
I am closing out my lazy day watching Princess Bride. I can’t remember taking a day off. It’s quite pleasant.
Timelies, all. I’m glad people had largely good Thanksgiving gatherings and food.
Today I put up my Christmas tree and ate leftovers. Apricot-ginger sweet potatoes mix very nicely with a tart cranberry sauce. I’ve also been doing my annual LotR rewatch. I’m watching Denethor win father of the year right now.
Argh. I was wanting to stay home cozy and try to pack and clean, but just got informed that starting next week (I’ll be gone but still) our dancing hours have been cut in half. We usually have an hour of lessons and two hours dancing and now we’ll have about and hour and 45 minutes TOTAL. WTF. I don’t know what the story is but like, it’s not that there’s a ton of people waiting to enjoy the dance floor with a house DJ at 845pm on a Friday. Grrr.
The game in the brewpub was okay, only a few people there, all of whom seemed to know each other. I should go there more often, build some neighborhood connections.

Timelies all!
Tired...
I am bringing in the fucking holiday spirit if it kills me. I've put up lights outside, put up my silver tree, filled up an advent calendar for my mother, and am making a pumpkin cheesecake pie right now.

I did some Small Business Saturday shopping today, and the coffee shop was all decked out for Christmas, which looked nice, but the only music they were playing was Christmas music, which just rubbed me the wrong way for some reason. Probably because it's almost 60 here. Weird how the decorations didn't bug me but the music did.
I have a loaf of pumpkin chocolate chip bread in the oven right now.
filled up an advent calendar for my mother
I got a squid facts scratch-off advent calendar for Tim, and he got me a National Geographic rock* advent calendar, because we are extremely nerdy.
*(Rocks as in geologic formations, not AC/DC.) (Also, I cannot stress how very very very much I love rocks. I'm like a 7-year-old. The only reasons I don't have shiny rocks all around the house is because we don't need more clutter. [Although I suppose we're about to get 24 new shiny rocks.] I am so fucking excited about this advent calendar, I can't even tell you.)
