Ooh, I forgot about Wonder Woman

As an aside, I have to find a new doctor, and I'm dragging my feet.

I'm doing the same thing with three doctor-types. None of them critical, because my GP is good, but... still. Well, one of them is a therapist, so that's not a role she's filling. I've been dragging me feet on that one for a while. Hope you get your onerous task done today. (Also, I think I have spelled onerous wrong for most of my life. Huh.)

I ordered three ornaments on sale from Macy's the other day, and the box came today but with a Christmas plate in it. The packing slip has a handwritten "3 orn" next to the correct item listing, but there's just a plate. And, I have to say, a really not attractive plate. I was a little insulted (not really). DP says he is pretty sure the person who packed up my order did not intend to insult my taste. I suppose not.

What's the difference in dreidels?

From Wikipedia:

Each side of the dreidel bears a letter of the Hebrew alphabet: נ‎ (nun), ג‎ (gimel), ה‎ (hei), ש‎ (shin). [...]. However, they represent the Hebrew phrase nes gadol hayah sham ("a great miracle happened there"), referring to the miracle of the cruse of oil. For this reason, most dreidels in Israel replace the letter Shin with a letter פ‎ (pe), to represent the phrase nes gadol hayah poh ("a great miracle happened here");

I think I didn't know there was a difference until about 10 years ago (or, better put: probably never remembered that class in elementary school).

I also have somewhere in my house a dreidel that has on each side a symbol for Buffy, Angel, Firefly, and the logo of the org that made it. In case you had a free evening and had a difficulty to decide which random episode of which show to watch.

Thanks for stepping in Shir!

Hec, Scoma's is still open and does a good cioppino to go, if you decide you need it.

Noted!

My cheese omelette was great, btw. Absolutely oozing with melted cheddar with a cheese-pull first bite and everything.

Oh man, my cousin just ran into Chris Evans at the bagel place. "Wouldn't have thought he ate carbs," she says!

Now, I want a cheese omelette. I talked myself into melted cheese, and I have to say I didn't put up much of a fight.

I made arancini out of last night's risotto, and can state with confidence that adding melted cheese makes delicious foods even better.

Ooh. Time to haunt the bagel place, Jesse?

Juliana over the last many years, our Christmas dinner has devolved to what we call “Trader Joe’s appetizers night”. So I support you on that.

Not sure what I’ll do food-wise since my fam doesn’t have a strong tradition there, but probably won’t do anything fancy. But do plan to make lots of cookies.

This is extremely useful information!
