Coupla poems for today: 1. I found the paths of destruction myself When I gave someone my heart I know what love is, my friends I set fire to my own house and watched it burn \*1. Raste khud hi tabahi ke nikale humne Kar diya kisi doosre ke hawale dil humne Hume maloom hai mohobbat kya cheez hai logo Apne ghar phook ke dekhe hai ujale humne \* (complimenting her ā€œkillingā€ beauty) 1. Youā€™re a killer your heart is a killer That beauty mark on your face is a killer I hope you never look in the mirror Killer and killer may clash \*2. To katil tera dil katil Tere chehere pe ye kala til katil Dekhna kabhi na aine me Takra na jaye katil se katil \* ---

Morning, all. Iā€™m here; more I cannot attest to. Iā€™ll be back later when (if) the brain starts functioning. Right now Iā€™m just kind of zombifying, have been all morning. Who knows why. ---

Morning. ::Checks watchā€¦yupā€¦still morning:: We had a _gooooooo_ drenching yesterday afternoon. Cooled things off nicely. Made skettis for dinner last night using a batch of my frozen sauce and the meatballs I made with ground chicken which came out Teh Yum! They freeze gud too. Glad **pie** is okay.

Bleh. Around 5 this morning I woke up with chills, sweating - everything that normally spells fever. I drank some water, raced back under the covers where I spent the rest of the morning feeling the same until I fell back asleep. At 7;30, my alarm went off and I felt 100%. Still do. In 13 minutes I am off for an extended weekend with some friends (and the Wife) to Cleveland to take in some ball games, the Rock Hall, and assorted other debauchery. In a gesture of almost unprecedentedness, I am not even taking the laptop. I am cut off from the world. Well, Iā€™ll get e-mail on ye olde Blackberry, but thatā€™s it. Ta and Ta. ---

**MBG,** I know that feelingā€“that was a hot flash! Congratulations, youā€™re menopausal! šŸ˜› I feel much better this morning after sleeping like a dead rockā€¦ Hey, whatā€™s all this gooooo laying around the place? Donā€™t MAKE me get my fluffy towel, young lady! Whew, gonna be another busy day today, capped off by doing a bunch of cooking for the weekend, yay! Speaking of cooking, I checked out that link from the recipe blog, looks like coumarin is linked to nonpermanent liver damage in those who are especially susceptible. Upshot is use Ceylon cinnamon whenever possible and donā€™t use cassia cinnamon constantly for long periods of time in large amounts. The link establishes 2mg/kg of food for the okay level of coumarin, but then does not specify how much coumarin/gm is present in cassia cinnamon. Iā€™m more :rolleyes: than anything else at this point. Isnā€™t coumarin a blood thinner or summat? **Rigs?** Arghā€¦ Iā€™m off! ---

[QUOTE=Anaamika] Taxi, when are you going to serve the Mumpers with some of your delicious cake/pie? [/QUOTE] I brought the [lemon-scented blueberry cupcakes](http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=1571446) in to work today, and they seem to be a big hit. (I donā€™t like fruit in my baked goods so I didnā€™t even try them before bringing them in! Thank goodness my coworkers arenā€™t picky!) Iā€™ll shove some through the cd drive for anyone who wants one. **McUne** , thatā€™s bizarre about the cassia cinnamon. Thatā€™s what we always use. Iā€™ve never heard that before. I think Iā€™d want some more verification of itā€™s risks, and some idea of what amount is dangerous, beyond ā€œ[the dangerous] level has been exceeded, in some cases considerably, in cinnamon biscuits.ā€ Wellā€¦ that doesnā€™t exactly help the home cook, now does it? :rolleyes: This sounds like the latest ā€œOMG thereā€™s something in food that - if eaten in wildly large amounts - might possibly cause some people some problems somewhere!!!1!!eleven!!!ā€ Whatever. ---

Good morning folks. Those cupcakes look good, **taxi.** Iā€™m back at work, truly wishing I was home. Because I missed the last two days thanks to my rig being in the shop, I decided to forego attending our commanderā€™s change of command ceremony. For the moment, itā€™s nice and quiet in here. I have a quite a bit of work that needs to be accomplished. Unfortunately, I donā€™t feel like doing it. No worries, though, Iā€™ll be a good little employee and get it done.
