Not really being a nail polish sort of girl, I'm hoping that someone will tell me that I can buy this in Walmart in a sensible color

So sorry.

Additionally, one learns to rise bread in the refrigerator when one is at altitude since bread can rise too fast and not develop the nice yeasty flavor. I didn't believe that bread would rise in the refrigerator until I tried it - worked like a charm! :) really? so it doesn't need 70 degrees? hmmmm...

This is the Mark Bittman recipe from the NYT for no-knead bread. http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/11376-no-knead-bread I have always been unconvinced that any bread recipe will work for me because a) I''m a crap baker and b) altitude - but I was convinced to try this, and it worked - spectacularly...

^^^^^ oh god....

Anyway, back on the ranch, which seems so horribly twiggy and vilely wholesome in contrast to Rockabilly's decadence, I'm having orzo with spicy sausage and Brussel sprouts. Sod it, I'm going to add wine and cream.

Norwegian Hand Cream. Made for, or possibly out of, Norwegian sailors.

Interesting. I always go for a food option precisely because it gets consumed and isn't a useless piece of crap. But moving on Smartwool socks - lovely option. Scarf less so, but a wooly cap/beanie is still terribly fashionable with the young folk of today. Booze is always acceptable unless he doesn...

Loin of pork sliced thin and beaten even thinner, then stuffed with sage, sausage, and prunes (plus onion, garlic, and adobo chipotle). A side of silky, creamy spiced aubergine and a glass of red.

I am not the heart horse type either, but I have fallen in love with a few men. I knew within five minutes that there was something happening. On the flip side, I usually know within 10 seconds if there's nothing. I am confused. What was happening between 10 seconds and five minutes? 4 min and 50 s...

yeah, buy a new deicer - a floating one in a cage if you can. I had a sinking one do this - also found that cord connections on the ground or even just above could short out in snow.

Yay!

Sounds good - try not to rush things. Once the scar is healed, cocoa butter is wonderful stuff!

Until you've gone on a date with someone you met on line who told you, when you met in person, that he was abducted by aliens a few times, you haven't really done the whole on like dating thing. That's a good one. My personal fave was the guy who I met with mostly because he said he'd read my favor...

bascar

This whole on line dating thing is dispiriting I have to say. And I wonder how much I can really be bothered? He was right about one thing - I'm definitely solitary - especially now it is snowing and single digit temps. I think I'm going to hibernate until spring.

The Careful Use of Compliments is a book by Alexander McCall Smith.

Part of the Sunday Philosophers Club series, I...

Bascar, do you think it's possible he meant it in the admiring "Wow, you can cook that?" kind of way rather than the doubting "are you sure you can cook that?" kind of way? No doubt. It was definitely an OMG I'm going to have to eat sludge comment. Which in a way amused me becau...

I cooked goose last year for xmas and it was delightful. If you have a self cleaning oven (VITAL) then roast it breast down directly on the oven shelf with a pan underneath to catch the fat. You will probably need 2 pans - a fairly modest goose produced a liter of lovely lovely fat for me. I prepped...

Don't overlook commercial real estate - often old funky commercial buildings are too expensive to repurpose so towns are very open to residential conversion. It helps to revitalize often quiet areas. Plus you get the whole modern edgy living space vibe.

I coffee with someone yesterday. "You said your politics are 'Liberal', what do you mean by that?" "Being British, I'm a European Liberal. We call ourselves Socialists" And he actively flinched. A little bit of coffee slopped out of his cup and onto the table. "It's not a mo...
