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

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, my cousin just ran into Chris Evans at the bagel place. "Wouldn't have thought he ate carbs," she says!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hec, Scoma's is still open and does a good cioppino to go, if you decide you need it.
This is extremely useful information!

move out and draw fire
I don't know this phrase. What does it mean?
It means making a face that looks like: -.-
Unimpressed and kind of blaming the person for doing the thing.
I just saw a MAGA dreidel (shin, hay, gimel, hay) and have decided to hide under a chair for the rest of the year.
sj, one was The Ham Yard and I don't remember the other - it was a hotel restaurant in SoHo. Both were good and not the 400-pound prix fixe that most of the places open on Xmas offer.

I feel you on Kaiser docs, juliana. I feel like their whole system limits dr-patient interaction to my detriment. But they have all my records, when I had different insurance and a different doctor my PCP had trouble finding out what happened at my ER visits, so that wasn't good either.
Aw, Chris Evans and bagels, what a happy thought!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
one was The Ham Yard
That is a goddamn fantastic name.

I'd love to see Chris Evans at my local bagel place. I'd settle for being able to eat a bagel there.
Say, are there any parents or caregivers of toddlers, or otherwise toddler-adjacent people, who could recommend some books for a soon-to-be 2 year old, please? She loves music, stuffing her pockets with shiny rocks, and elephants.
