Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

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.

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

Isn't all hot dish topped with tater tots? Or are there non-tot hot dishes?

So far Debby is being EXTREMELY WINDY and humid but not much rain. The wind is kicking around the trees to the point where my power keeps flickering, so really hoping we don't have an outage.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

No idea about hot dishes, being originally from the south (first rule - if it doesn't move, fry it). Also being inundated by Debby - had to come in to work and got soaked to the skin (literally - bra and underpants soggy, shoes soaked). Had some dry things at work I could put on, but still not comfortable.

Church hot dishes in my neck of the woods (west Texas) generally had crushed potato chips on them. Mind you, that was 50+ years ago.

Our wings are not tired.

I made a hot dish this morning! Flying to Florida for a few days leaving in the morning and I had 4 zucchinis in the fridge that needed to be cooked. I made a cheesy casserole with them which I will freeze in a few containers to pop out as side dishes as needed. I have a bunch of keto meals in the freezer that I made to have on hand when I don't want to cook. Grocery stores are not nearby so I am not always stocked. I do have lots of farm stands and egg stands around so that part is easy.

eta: now that I have been all productive I am sitting down to watch The Umbrella Academy. I rewatched the end of S3 earlier.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I thought non-tot hot dish was a thing but I have not actually experienced it in the wild, as it were. That’s fun to say either way. Tot-topped hot dish or not-tot hot dish.

Eta and now that I have read the recipe - I would use canned green beans instead of blanching fresh, but that's just how I roll. Sounds pretty tasty!

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Now I would like some tater tots, whether by themselves or on top of a casserole dealie.

I think there may also be hot dish with like, hash browns on top? But I am from a casserole place not a hot dish place

To my knowledge I've never had a 'hot dish'.

Thrive to spite them

I got back from lunch today and the academy trainer asked me if the team lead and talked to me and I was like ..um noooo?

Our store manager "no longer works here". I have no idea what happened. I know the district manager (except she has a different title) and the store manager didn't get along. For the most part I liked my ex store manager. and after hearing horror stories about some of the managers (including the store manager that drove off 2 management teams including a bunch that transferred here) I'm worried about whoever is new.

And during remodel.

But M made it to his appointment, got an extended prescription for the anti anxiety meds and is going to make an appointment with a therapist.
