In which there’s sodium citrate, aka melting salt, in American cheese, so it makes great nacho cheese sauce. You may be a human being who, from time to time, thinks to yourself, “I want some freakin’ nacho cheese sauce.” But when you look up nacho cheese sauce recipes online, they’re all roux-based, which is basically […]
In which I love this goddamned appliance, okay? I cooked three full meals in this kitchen today, for a total of eight courses, and I have not done the washing up. Look at it. Just look. It’s spotless. No dishes anywhere. THEY’RE IN THE DISHWASHER, off the counter, out of sight. It’s amazing. I never […]
In which I just don’t enjoy Facebook anymore because it’s full of disinformation and depression and conspiracy theories and none of that’s any fun. Just logged into FB for the first time in a couple of weeks and my last post turned into the biggest conversation on my page in years. I find this funny, […]
In which I’ve moved to Oregon, a state I haven’t lived in since the early 90’s! We found a house in Milton (or is it Freewater?) and have moved into it. It’s an eight-block walk from the cheese shop for me, and I’m grateful that it cuts his commute in half. Big old tree in […]
In which I’ve gone and turned 51, of all things, and here is a short paragraph about it. I’m fat as hell, my feet always hurt even though I only work part-time, my skin has no elasticity and is just drooping like fabric on the bias, I have a nearly constant stabbing pain in the […]
In which where DOES the time go? It’s September?! I’ve been at the cheese shop for a month and a half now and really enjoy it. My friend got a job there too, so I have someone to ride to work with now that my beloved is working at the casino and can’t chauffeur me […]
In which AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Cycling rapidly between “This pile of boxes will absolutely fit in the U-Box container, no problem,” and “This pile of boxes WILL NEVER FIT IN THE CONTAINER, AND I SHOULD FREAK OUT, BECAUSE THAT WILL TOTALLY HELP!!!” and isn’t it cool how moving just never gets less stressful, no matter how you […]
In which it’s actually not that bad? T minus four days and mostly packed! Here’s the pile: There’s also the bed, half a dozen boxes in the basement, and another half dozen out of shot or not yet packed, but that’s the main bulk of it. It’s really not that bad, but I keep vacillating […]
In which it’s not a real blog post, just moving notes. To take IN THE CAR with us so we have access to it (packed mainly in luggage/duffels/backpacks): – couple weeks worth of clothing – shoes – computers/monitors/electronics and power/chargers etc. – basic toiletries/beard, hair & teeth stuff, vision, makeup, tweezers, shit like that – […]
In which LOL MY MIND THO. What’s the word for that psychological condition in which, after you quit a job and receive your final paycheck and have no income, you suddenly find yourself wanting, practically needing, to spend money on inane shit? I always have this! Every time I’m unemployed. Well, shit, no money coming […]
