A (M)ad Lib MMP

gt, pls be sending 1 pint of Lime Cardamom ice cream stat. Perhaps w side of Gravel Rd also. Kthxbye.

Haze, the hat is super-cute. However, I’m starting to gather that you could probably put a pail on your head and wear a garbage bag for a dress, and you’d still look cute. Colour me envy green.

The closest Ben & Jerry’s is downtown, and I rarely ever go down that way anymore. Poop.

We’re having my half-assed version of Korean BBQ steak with cucumber salad and brown rice for dinner tonight. I threw together some soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, spicy black bean paste and a few cloves of minced garlic into a large Ziploc and let the steak soak it up for an hour or so. Hopefully it tastes as good as it smelled whilst grilling! Nom nom nom.

Would love to send, but it will melt before it gets to TO. OK if I just buy some for me? Tomorrow, maybe. They’re two of my favorite flavors. Pretty much all of their flavors are amazing (although I’m still a long way from having tried all of them). They just won an award that got them $5000 that they’re going to use to buy vanilla beans to make 20-bean vanilla ice cream.

Very cute hat, Haze. Totally suits you. (We give good fashion advice, don’t we?)

I love my neighborhood. I went for a 45-minute walk and just enjoyed ALL the trees that are in bloom. There are crabapples, redbuds, ornamental pears, ornamental cherries, magnolias, dogwoods, lilacs, viburnums, even still a few forsythias. And a few I can’t identify. Everything looks very pretty. ::sigh::

Suppose I should get something done.

Laterz.

Give me some pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease? NOMNOMNOMNOMNOM

ETA: Thanks for the compliments everyone - I owe it all to your fabulous fashion sense. :smiley:

My gosh, y’all have been bizzy! Haze, that is totally a noir looking photo, nicely done. You look like an extra from “Lust, Caution” or something. Well, aside from not being Chinese and all!

Noone, you’re more than welcome to flirt all you want with me, however you’d best keep in mind that all three of those clauses do apply. This means that I not only have a dirty mind and a will to employ it but I also have many years of experience in duping young men into thinking they were chasing me and being all proud that they caught me. As they’re savoring their victory I casually rob them of all their essential bodily fluids and leave 'em for dead near the highway. Eh, it’s a living! :stuck_out_tongue:

Rigs, I just recently deciphered that the “suspenders” in the song aren’t actual American type hold-your-pants-up suspenders but are actually what we’d call a garter belt! It made the whole song make much more sense.

[HomerSimpson]“Ah, rough sex–the cause of and solution to all life’s problems!” [/HS] ppr, I feel your pain–literally! I was at my favorite Mexican joint having lunch and I slipped on a wet floor and went down hard on my right hip and elbow. I twisted my back a bit, wrenched my knee a bit and my neck is a little dodgy. Man, I gotta get some shoes with better traction, those things are killers!

**taxi, ** glad you enjoyed the curry–isn’t that the richest tasting dish you ever made in less than a day? I was actually surprised that, considering the sheer amount of dried spices that went in, it took as little time simmering as it did. Usually when I make anything that highly spiced it needs to cook for hours to mellow out the flavors. Color me pleasantly surprised!

Also, re Gross Non Handwashing Cow-Orker I second the giant Purell bottle but I suggest it have a nice ribbon on it and a little card that reads “For when you just can’t make time to wash after the toilet!” Subtle, y’know? :smiley:

Mmmmmmm, Ben & Jerry’s Coffee, Coffee, Buzz, Buzz, Buzz… marks calendar–then marks it again with red ink

{{{Pie}}} {{{Tagless}}}

Vroooommmmm…zooming through. Skimmed, but no time to reply. Appropriate/inappropriate greetings around. See y’all tomorrow!

I have got to get my grill out this weekend.

A DJ friend called to remind me that I agreed to lend him my PA system this weekend. He’s playing at a party and I’ll be going to…ah…supervise the sound setup/beer drinkin’. I did a number of house parties in Milwaukee while at school, too. Usually, my fee was a cup for the keg beer. My speakers and I are popular. In that order.

Tomorrow, I’m going to a place that (I think) does safety testing on toys. Kinda looking forward to it.

I made some rotini with a spoonful of pesto, a couple splashes of jar sauce and a can of choppped clams. I ate half and the rest is for tomorrow’s lunch. Not bad but needs something spicy.

There are exactly two Ben & Jerry’s in this province and the one closest to me is in a mall that will be closing (sometime this year I think) to make way for more condos. hisses That’s the best area to hang in the summer, right by the river with a splash park for the kids and all sorts of fairs.

The mall is open until 6 on Tuesdays… I usually get downtown by 5:30ish… do you think I can walk about 5 blocks, dodging rush hour traffic, and make it to the store in time for free ice cream?

If the weather co-operates, and my knees, I might make it…

I also think I should talk to my doc about my right knee… it aches at times… not too badly but some days it really is sore, like today, and I only did a lot of walking… stupid genetics… both my parents have issues with their kness and I think being 6’ is compounding it… I’m only 25!

Your night shift is here, as sick and insomniatic as ever.

Sleep well my pretty’s.

See, sometimes you find some good stuff in the gutter! :smiley:

**Haze **-- That is a truly wonderful picture :slight_smile:

Ah, but **I’m **not one of the young dupes, either…

OK, OK… I’m really only 24… But I have 20 years of experience at it! :stuck_out_tongue:

And in any case, I can think of worse ways to go… :wink:

I think we have a few BJ’s around here (What? All I said was “Ben & Jerry’s”! Sheesh… and you say my mind is in the gutter!? :dubious: ) – I wonder if the offer is good worldwide?

Blech. I feel like I slept for about 10 minutes last night.

Morning all, up and caffeinating - happy Thursday. :slight_smile:

Heading in to work … bbl today!

Hi Mr. Night Shift! :::waves at beebs:::

Kinda quiet at night here lately. It appears that Dotty, for instance, is actually working.

What kind of work do you do, JungleDude? Seems like you travel around a fair bit.

Is work getting any less busy, SO?

Sorry you didn’t get more sleep, Pie.

Of course you can make it 5 blocks in 1/2 an hour, FB. There’s ice cream at the end of that trek.

I feel like I didn’t get much sleep, but at least I slept all the way through. I just need to work on falling asleep earlier. So, now I’m up, off to get some nice antihistamines (everything is in bloom, so I’m particularly allergy filled.

Happy Thursday everyone!!!

How is she surviving, unplugged? :slight_smile:

I’m tired and I’m still coughing. I’m bored with this game.

Is it quit o’clock yet?

Hey, she’s on vacation! (Passover) – so life is good; she’ll overlook this minor irritation for now. (And she can just plug in to her computer and listen to the whole library through iTunes – she’s home anyway)

Come Sunday, we’ll see what happens. I’ve given her the task of remembering to ask her friend ahead of time to bring the cable to school on Sunday so we can try it out at home; we’ll see if it’s important enough to her :stuck_out_tongue:

{{{Cutie}}}, {{{Boo}}}

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Caffienation in progress here at da cave. Ima purtify soon and go by work for a couple hours to check on stuff. I’ll spend the rest of work time today doin’ stuff from home just cause I can. Hey if I gotta listen to recordings of applications made over the phone, might as well do it from the comfort of da cave.

Other than that I got nuttin’ right now. The search for more caffiene and some brekkies commences.

Later Y’all!

I think we might need to organize the great MMP food exchange at this rate. :slight_smile:

Haze, there were no leftovers, because the steak was gooooooood. Mmmmmmmmmm. Besides, I’m pretty sure that rare steak turns green and furry after spending a few days in the mail.

I’m up and caffeinating. On the bright side, next week I’ll be greeting 7am still tucked in my bed snoring like a small freight train, because the powers that be have released me from my suburban bondage and the loooong commute that accompanies it… it’s only a 5-day temporary reprieve, but I’m ridiculously excited at the prospect. I loves me some sleep, I tell ya.

I’m up, breakfast has been eaten, and it’s storming outside. Love me some thunderstorms. Too bad I have to go to work and can’t stay home and read.

The Mumper’s Recipe Blog seems to be doing pretty good. We are getting a bit of traffic and such from google as well. I still haven’t posted any of the huge document of recipes that VBob sent over. Since I haven’t gotten many submissions lately I think I’m going to start pulling a few from those.

OH and if your wondering, I decided not to add the categories by name BUT if you wish to search all the recipes by a certain person, up on the blog header you can type in the mumper’s name and then click on “Search this blog” and you will pull up all the recipes.

Hope that is ok with everyone. :slight_smile:

Special1 sometimes my ipod is tempermental and won’t read itunes as well. I usually restart my computer and it works. I’m sure that you have done that already, so I hope the cord works that **FTT ** brings home (if she remembers.)

Gadgets do seem to take on their owners’ traits, just like pets, don’t they…? :stuck_out_tongue:

(And yes, I’ve tried rebooting… FFS, I’ve installed iTunes from scratch on another computer already! No dice. :()

I figured you tried rebooting…hopefully the new cord will fix all your problems then!

Does that mean that your gadgets flirt with all the women? :stuck_out_tongue: :cool:
