You have obviously not nosed my socks.
One does not disclose ones tactics, old boy.
I have never tried parsnips but they intrigue me. My auntie says that they are good in soup but I am more inclined to try them roasted, at least for the first time. I do love root veg, so I expect I will like it. The only okra I have ever had has been in soupy things like gumbo where I like it fine. One of my kids likes it pickled and my step mom, an Oakie to her soul, has promised me fried okra next summer, my dad says it’s really good.
I am off to get in the shower and then to go and let the vampires take the blood needed for labs. You would think that since I’ve had nothing but water since 10:00 last night I would be hungry, but I’m not.
Also, my mumper buds, do y’all have your towel?
My duel preference is trout but I would be willing to slap you upside the head with a sock full of jell-o if you’d prefer. I just wanted to know if you’re face would be yellow (or red, or green, or orange, or raspberry blue depending upon the [del]flavor[/del] color I used.) After all, this is the Straight Dope, where we are supposed to be fighting ignorance.
If necessary, I will try a driveway experiment (probably on Jr :D) like I did for Candied Coke or Overheated Pop-tarts ::sigh::
Work day is done. I’s outta here!!! <poof>
Just waiting for discharge paperwork, and then it will be time to bring DH home. Hopefully they get it ready before rush hour.
I must apologize to the Blue Cross shareholders as they are not making a penny off of us this year.
There’s a Jell-o Fish pun in here somewhere but my monday brain can’t seem to find it
Yay for DH goin’ home gotti! Great news!
Parsnip success has been achieved. Found 'em at Publix. Nice, firm and not huge. Also cheap for around these parts anyways at a buck a pound! So I am in possession of five pounds of parsnips for Sattidy. YAY!
Spaz it’s always an honor to give somebody a new sig line. I have always touted okra as “The Pod of God.”
No rain yet but it’s on the way.
Mornin’, all. Work is surprisingly calm. I am finally of on-call, which means I don’t have to be tethered to my work laptop 24-7.
I know not of these root vegetables of which you speak. I consider them with my eyebrow in its dubious position.
Last week, I got my Fitbit. Does anyone have one of these? I mean, other than a certain fellow Doper who is currently beating the pants off me as far as stats go? Perhaps we could make a Doper Crew, though the fitbit site doesn’t provide a search function or any manner of organization of more than 2000 groups.
It’s astonishing to me just how hard it is to get 10,000 steps in a day. On my own, on an extremely busy day, I can hit 6000. Yet, if I just go walking on a treadmill at the gym, it takes me 10 minutes to walk 1000 steps. So that’s more than an hour and a half of walking every day. Even broken up across hours of work, that seems like a lot.
To be smacked with a sock filled with jello would be a little roughy
mmmmmms is gonna shake her fist at you! 
Most excellent pun Apes!
Dindin shall be beastloaf (bakin’ away as I post), mac & cheese, green beans and rolls. Real inventive and excitatin’ I know but nice and comforty which I need.
ETA: First on Two!
I’m sorry Ide had to do it, even if it made me look a little Aholehole, just for the Halibut
And if you used orange Jell-O instead of lemon…
Filbert, whatcha felting?
gotti, great news on the DH!
All this talk of parsnips is making me want to break out my Fork in the Road cookbook so I can make up some more of Prudhomme’s French Market vegetable medley. Carrots, squash, parsnips, zucchinii, asparagus & onions cooked in a whole pile of spices and then baked for a while.
I, too, have made the inedible seasonal cookies… one year I made a set of green sugar cookies for Christmas which could have served double-duty as air hockey pucks. They lasted a while, though, because I was the only one who would eat them. More for me.
Home, exhausted. Supper will be miscellany and/or leftovers.
**FCD **thinks an offer letter may be coming. We shall see…
Is it Firday yet??? <headdesk>
“Punster goes to ER to have mackerel removed from nose.
Film at eleven.”
I used to think it was rather sad that, for my son, baking cookies with Mom = slicing up a tube of refrigerated dough from the grocery store. Then I discovered that Pillsbury doesn’t even make “Slice-n-Bake” cookies anymore. Apparently, slicing dough is just too onerous. Now you get little pucks of dough that you take out of the package and plunk on a cookie sheet.
Where do you shop, freebie? I see “slice-n-bake” all over the place
They also taste like salt. Give me real cookies any time.
Hey. You have to take them out of the package and break them apart, then plunk them down on a cookie sheet. Otherwise, you’re making one really huge cookie, or a giant Tollhouse Waffle.
Side note: The Pop ‘n’ Fresh technology was developed by a couple guys working at the Pillsbury plant in Minneapolis. One of them was the dad of the witch who performed my wedding, which is how I know the story. Anyway, they figured out the tech, assembled some samples, and got the high brass in to try it out.
It didn’t work. Not for the brass, anyway… the two guys were perplexed until they realized they were both left-handed, and they had built handedness into the tubes, so that they only worked for left-handed people. They then went back to the drawing board to design ambidextrous pop ‘n’ fresh tubes.
End of note.
