i'm part of the librarian mafia. also, my desk is clean.
I got engaged to be married 18 years ago today. That's nearly half my life ago. O_o
Can someone get J some Carmex.
BBQ Pitmasters say spare > baby back. Noted. #YearOfQ
I agree. - Julian
I need to investigate what the difference is. This is going to be fun research. - Marie
My favorite is the St. Louis cut (which is the spare rib squared off into a neat tasty rectangle). - Derrick
I'm with D on that one. - Julian
I saw them do that (cut it into St louis) on the show! Thanx, J and D. - Marie
Dang. Now I want a smoker. - Derrick
Depends on how you at cooking then I suppose. Baby backs work better of you are cooking them in a slow oven. - tiffany from Android
T, I do almost all of my ribs in a slow oven and I still like the St. Louis cut. Baby backs are good, don't get me wrong, but given the choice... - Derrick
I wondered about that, Tiffany! They're coming at it from a pit BBQ perspective. They did say that spares are meatier, but I have loved my fair share of baby backs. - Marie
St-Germaine, fresh squoze lemon, vodka, shaken with ice, served in martini glass.

please stop yelling.
I can't. I have no clue how to communicate otherwise. DEAL WITH ME. OR ELSE. - Akiva
whooo, all that CAPSLOCK took a lot out of me.
Capslock is so weak. HOLD DOWN THE SHIFT KEY LIKE A [REDACTED] - Akiva
Made a couple batches of that honey liqueur for my local valentines. Just tasted it. Hate it. Haha, oh well.
It's the buzz that counts... - Todd Hoff
doh! - adf
#SaturdayFF in college my friend scored tix to u2's zoo tv tour, but the seats were behind the stage, upper level. did not care, too excited. we went early so i could get tshirts for my friends. made our way up to the seats. as we were sitting there some cops came by and swapped our tickets with those they got off scalpers outside (busted!).
guess where the new seats were? - Marie
4th row, floor. - Marie
BOOM. - Derrick
Sweet! - Kelli H.
good cops! - Joe The Sausage
I love that they did that. - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!
That's awesome. U2 is still on my list of bands to see before I die. - G Dub of the Carolinas
My exciting morning has consisted so far of descaling the espresso machine. Soon I will start the laundry. What are you up to?
Nothing that riveting. I may take a shower. But next up is getting coffee. - Anika
Rolled out of bed at 10 am, put out some fires with my kids, made coffee, and have commenced friendfeeding in earnest. :) - Kelli H.
Eating, FriendFeeding, Top Gear on the telly, and some cleaning. - Rollin' in the LB

I've turned over a couple of times. Gonna have to get up and put some work in eventually, but not right now. This bed is everything good about the world right now. - Nakachi from FFHound!
specifically, trying to figure out why the apps I've downloaded from the app store don't show up in Launchpad - marthalib
I've never used cheesecloth. Do I have to wash it before first use? Once I'm done using it can I toss it in the washer or is it a one-time use kind of thing?
I usually use mine dry depending on what I'm putting in it. If I'm using it for cheese, I may dampen it a bit. I always toss it when done. - Anika
Thank you! - Marie
No problem. Remember folding it is fine. Adrian once lost most of whatever he was making because he had one layer. - Anika
i am being considered for inclusion in who's who in north american education. woohoo?
Must admit, I tend to think of Who's Who publications/registries from Marquis as in one (entirely legitimate and worthy) class...and all the others as different. WWINAE definitely isn't Marquis. But if they don't ask for a fee, it may be an actual honor. - Walt Crawford
thanks for distinguishing them for me, walt. i had lumped them all into the "scam" category. - Marie
There may be others that aren't scams, but Marquis most definitely isn't. - Walt Crawford

Crock pot experiment: carrots, cauli, chix thighs, sauce made with fresh thyme, lemon zest and juice, minced shallots and garlic, boullion and soy sauce, with fingerlings on top. Results in 7 hours. Stay tuned!
fingerlings? - Helensleydale
Sounds divine, actually. - Oh Caaaaaarrrrrlllll.... from Android
Small potatoes, Helen. - Marie
whoa, this is awful. the cauliflower is truly terrible. luckily, i only have 5 more meals of it to get through. - Marie
Oh, bummer. I've had bad luck with cauliflower in the crock pot - stuff in that family seems to go really off when cooked too long. :( - Jennifer Dittrich
huh. That's surprising! What do you think makes it terrible? (thank you for saying so, because I was going to make something based on it) - RudĩϐЯaЯïan
i don't even like the way the baby carrots taste, so i don't know if it's the sauce or the cauli just infected everything. :( the potatoes, which perched on top of everything just to steam, taste awesome, so that's good. - Marie
I'd guess it is the cauliflower, honestly - the recipes where I've accidentally cooked it too much seem to just be all icky. At least the potatoes turned out, so you've got that. - Jennifer Dittrich
