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

Oh, I've never done that, only really poached pears

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

The fruit dessert I always make on vacation is: cut into chunks (unless it's like, berries), toss with a little sugar + seasonings (whatever goes with the thing you have) then pour Bisquick on top (add liquids according to the box) and bake. Boom, instant cobbler.

Nice suggestions, thank you - wish I had bought more peaches now, ha! I will report back. I think one of them will go toward a peach salsa for some salmon that's defrosting for tomorrow, but the rest will get dessert treatment.

That was a long day and I am very tired. I think I lost my company swag water bottle, which seems ironic.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

That sounds fantastic!

Our wings are not tired.

So, I am getting a roommate for the rest of the summer. Brendon says he can't stay in the apartment because everything reminds him of her so she is staying and he is going to come stay with me while he figures things out. That is fine. I can use his help and I can work on helping him get his act together. I expect we'll try and find something in Florida by the end of summer. I have plenty of room for him in Otter Lake, but no room in Florida.

I biffed it but take comfort in my belief that that is not a proper word
