I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

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

and set up fifteen to twenty cozy reading nooks with unlimited tea and grilled cheese sandwiches.

I can bring my novelty grilled cheesemaker that looks like a posh, quilted purse!

Sometimes I like my grilled cheese with some of Dave's whole grain bread, very country and leaning towards cheddar with some mustard.

Sometimes though I want more of a white bread where I focus on getting the outside golden by cooking it in butter and I'll have a mix of Gruyere and Munster or Havarti.

But doing the Brie with apple thing is also good.

The best. The killer bread would work with any of the grilled cheese options for me.

Yeah, that sounds nice.

Because books.

A local place had a grilled Brie with thin apple slices and caramelized onions, and it was so. fucking. good. But the restaurant closed! How dare they.

Friends, I'm sorry I've been so absent lately. I have been reading and sending virtual hugs and positive wishes; I've just been operating in overwhelm. My troubles are minuscule compared to war and loss of life, of course.

So many of us are in this state. I propose a Buffista Retreat where we rent a private island/cabin in the woods/mountaintop villa and set up fifteen to twenty cozy reading nooks with unlimited tea and grilled cheese sandwiches.

All of this. In excellent news, I know what I'm having for lunch!

I just ate lunch, and I would STILL eat one of those.

Amy, sending good thoughts for your mom, too.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

My brain is absolutely forbidding me from doing any more work today so I think I'll put my laptop away and make these cheesy apple crumble bars instead.

(It's fine, not like I have major revisions to do on this doc that I said would be ready by end of day Monday...)

Oooh, that sounds delish. I have tried incorporating cheddar cheese into pie crust for apple pie with not quite the results I'd hoped for, this Cheez It approach is intriguing!

They are in the oven and the Cheez-it shortbread smells wonderful, so I have high hopes!
