Lost two attempts at posting! Super short version: Crappy roads = tomorrow's stew is now tonight's dinner instead because no takeout, and I am internally whiny about it. Brat.
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
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.
Aw, JenP, not a brat!
All of the local ferries are on the severe weather schedule, which for us means a boat every two hours instead of 35 minutes, unless they can't get enough crew to the dock to meet Coast Guard regs, in which case the sailing's cancelled.
You know, I really thought the Senate might do better this time.
It's infuriating, but it was a (mostly) foregone conclusion. I'm genuinely shocked that 7 Republicans voted on something nearer to principle than cravenness.
I knew they wouldn't do better but it's still depressing.
And infuriating.
It’s weird that I can be pleasantly surprised that 7 voted to convict and also be so angry and disappointed at the rest, but there it is.
Seriously frustrating and infuriating. I mean, good on the 7 who voted in favor. Boo on the other 43 who mostly just refused to even pay attention because they made their decision January 7th.
The speech by McConnell lambasting Trump as responsible for the riot, while voting to acquit says it all. They want it both ways. I'm just angry that the House decided to not call witnesses. Cowardly move as they once again are just afraid of the threats by the Senate Republicans that they will delay their appointments.
Jen, I'm sorry that you are takeout deprived.
I bought wine to sooth my anger.
Yeah, angering and shameful, but they don't feel shame.
Aw, JenP, not a brat!
Thanks, amyparker! And I have to say, the stew was really good! I used this Food Network recipe: Old Fashioned Beef Stew with Mushrooms
I think I've found my One True Stew Recipe.
ETA: I had to sub cornstarch to thicken, but that's no big.
