i guess it figures that they don't have file (i was just seeing if that was indeed what you were missing) there...
i totally know tony's! i hope they brought you the BIG (box?, bottle?, cylinder?, what do you call those things?) CONTAINER
i've used it lots for everything, too... it's super yummy on red potatoes!

but i found over the weekend that red potatoes aren't so good for baking with garlic as they are for dill or rosemary. maybe roasting the garlic first would've lended better to the red potato sweetness.

i would think that you'd have a good selection of meat/seafood there... hrm... that's surprising.

i feel the same way about food/cooking - i do believe it's an art, but i really do think it's a science, as well, what with all the timing and chemical reactions, etc. i wanted to be a chef for a long time but i've changed my mind and will do something different first and then return to the culinary art thing. i love to cook for much the same reason you mentioned... everyone eats. i think food often brings people together and it's nice seeing everyone pleased and tummies filled.
the person i shared that meal with was very appreciative and that MADE IT for me.
i had fixed that couscous, and then found (as i often do) that i wasn't even hungry - it's true, what you said... between the aroma and the absolute enthrallment of creating a meal, i lost my actual appetite.
i took the food as far as i could without actually preparing for service and packed it up to take to his house. i felt lucky to have some downtime and a couple glasses of wine before the meal was ready - besides that, the mushrooms i made for appetizers were actually good for appetizing me (haha)... i'd forgotten that i really needed to eat, i was almost worn out and i'd been looking at the food all day, you know?! ... yeah, you know.

i'm living with my mom right now and paying off my debt. i am SO happy that you two can use the stashed funds to get out of yours... it's such a fucking prison.

thank you for what you said about smiling while reading my entry. that was nice.
(apologies for this massive rant - i had no idea it would go this far!)

happy day, fishio

I think the Eeyore thing would be funny if you put a cute caption on it. The cheesier the better. It made me smile.

Me and some people from the SGTex group are going to Austin this weekend for Valentines Day. Im so excited, Austin is my fav area of Tex also. Were having a singles celebration.

Manuscript writing tablet is on the deck. I put more words in it to be traced. Just take the kids out to dinner. I'll try to be home early. Around 5;30 or 6.

I sprayed myself in the eye with perfume. Karma's a bitch.

will you be my friend?

absolutely.
that's one of my favorite pictures in the world, really.
i found it while i was googling around and i haven't been able to find it since! so bummed, because i want to know where it comes from and all that... alas, i can only stare and awe and wonder. which is really just fine with me.

i don't know why your shoes are squeaky. i thought about it a lot when i read this the first time. no answers. i'm good about having no answers.

i've wanted to visit the upper left coast for some time because i've heard what you say about that neighborhood.
it calls to me. and one of these days... you know, i'll go.

thanks you!


and hoppy flyday!

Some guy on yahoo keeps asking me where my husband and children are. I told him you were standing over my shoulder. He say's hi.

I don't think I've ever met as many freaks online. I feel like canceling my yahoo crap. I've only talked to two interesting people on there in 4 months. It gets annoying after awhile. I feel like blocking everyone. It's like, "hello~ how long have you guys had a computer and haven't you gotten over the novelty of Cybering yet?" *sheesh*

I feel a kidney infection coming on. Not cool.

I think that GrapeFruit oil is working!!!!!!! *wicked grin*
You know it's also good for raising the libido. *?*

hi and welcome to the site!

you posted on the CE boards??? I wasn't gonna make a new years resolution til I read something in CE that made me want to scream. At that moment I decided my N.Y. resolution was going to be to avoid CE at all costs.
