I'm so sorry, Sheryl.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

So hard, Sheryl. I am sorry.

Tim Walz's hot dish recipe. It's topped with tater tots.
My Minnesotan SIL says that this is not hot dish because the ingredients do not contain a cream soup. She describes it as "fancied up"

That is a valid point. It was for a contest, though, right? Maybe that's why.
I went googling to find the recipe again because I can't open Toddson's link at work (adblocker) and this story includes a different and more traditional sounding recipe (the "New Ulm" that I guess was tweeted at some point) [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Productive day so far.
Landis the Contractor sent a crew of two to go through my punchlist.
They've already cleaned out the clogged bathroom sink. ("We pulled a horsetail's worth of hair out of there."), removed a faulty light fixture, and bolted a CD case to the wall.
They're getting a new plumbing trap assembly for the sink, and when they come back they'll finish that then bring some stuff down out of the attic that I need to get rid of.
And also I just talked to a rep at the Semester Abroad program in Kyoto. She walked me through the application process, what they need, and gave me the lowdown on how the program is structured. All positive. I think it's going to be great for Matilda.
So two very important things on my to-do list which have been rolling over for several weeks have been addressed.

Ooh! Exciting!
All the house stuff is also exciting, of course, but maybe not at the same level

It'll be nice not to have the sink fill up immediately while running water.
They've dragged out a bunch of gunk and now they're going to the hardware store to run a snake from the roof all the way down to clear the whole thing out.
I've also gotten an estimate from an arborist to do a "crown raising" on our front tree, and a "Proportional crown shaping" for the two trees in our back yard.
So that's another rolling to-do item that will be done.
