Month: February 2002

Okay, okay, I swear I will update the Big DumpTruck tomorrow. I have a few things to put in it, if I don’t forget them between now and then. I just didn’t want to have to make the changes by hand (i.e. editing the HTML) but you know what? My “fans” are worth it. Plus, it will bring up the hit count before the weekend. I always like when that happens.

Visit early and visit often, that’s my motto. My other motto is “anything made with wine can’t be all bad. I made some very good chicken and mushrooms in wine sauce tonight. Yummers.

Had to make a tissue run this morning. We are blowing through them like, well, tissues. (Blowing through them? Get it? Get it? Ewwwww!)

I’m just happy to have a few headache-free hours this afternoon. Ugh, I hate being sick.

I have a complaint. Where the hell are all my teaspoons? What were we thinking, only buying one set of flatwear, anyway?

Every time I open the drawer for one, that slot is empty. I know it has a lot to do with Mookie, who seems to use one for every meal he eats, but sheesh! I wish I knew the model of flatwear we have, I’d try to contact the mfg and see if I could buy replacement spoons. But it’s not like the fancy stuff you register for, so I don’t know if they sell onsies. It may be time to just buck up and buy a couple new sets. Or start eating with sporks.

Note to self: Don’t go to the chinese buffet restaurant when there aren’t many cars in the parking lot. Man, you can’t believe what happens to that food when it sits in the warming trays for a while. Gah. So I just want to make it clear that I get to eat chinese food again as soon as possible to make up for last night’s experience.

The lemon squares we made last night as a cooking project? Blech. I guess I should have been nervous that the only thing I needed to add to the box mix was eggs and water. Or maybe the mix was just old. Or maybe I’m not much of a lemon square person after all.

Actually, what I wish I could have found was the low-fat lemon cake mix that was put out by one of the major mix brands under one of their “low fat” brands. I think it came in a purple box. I’ll have to remember what it was called, but anyway, they don’t sell those low/no fat mixes at my local store anymore, so I just assumed they don’t sell them at all.
