21 December 2005

The best thing about being at home all day is being able to make a hot lunch![More:]Which in my case was bacon, then an egg cooked in the bacon fat, then wilted spinach, all wrapped up with grated cheese and mango salsa and chipotle taco sauce inside a corn tortilla. Mmmmmm.

What?
I'm with you up until the mango part. Well, and the cooking with bacon grease thing.

Exactly what sasshat said.

My lunch was hot. I microwaved it. My stomach is not happy because I gave it too much red wine last night.

That sounds pretty good.

Right now, after a work christmas party where I ate chicken alfredo, chili and christmas cookies, I could really use a veggie sandwich.

My stomach is not happy because I had too much white wine last night. And because I can't microwave my lunch, as we have no forks in the office.

I'm going to bake two muffins tonight. I plan to poke my thumbs into them and sleep soundly, knowing that the worst that could happen is a muffin in the eye.

Hugh, you should just use some duct tape and wrap it all around to turn your hand into one big flipper.

Did you end up with a shiner, by the way?
posted by SassHat 21 December | 17:19
I love you, Hugh.

sasshat, did you know that forks don't actually microwave food? It's really the microwave that does it.

Specklet:

I'm aware of your beliefs regarding forks and microwaves, but I consider them heretical. Forks must be present!

Mmmm, gaspode, I'll take all of it, thanks!

I made a steak for lunch today. It wasn't as good as what we get for family meal at work, but as the weather continues it's attempt to catch up on a 7 month precipitation deficit in 7 short days, 'eating in' was very cozy.

Poor, poor Hugh.

Just sleep with oven mitts on, Hugh.

And bacon fat is food of the gods.

Two corn dogs and a can of chili.

Maybe a nail clipper is all I need.

Wait a minute, did you scratch yourself or are you planning to amputate?
posted by Frisbee Girl 21 December | 17:56
ow! amputation by nail clippers. Unpleasant.

I had a leftover mozzarella cheesesteak with jalapenos & bacon. I doctored it with some mayo, onion powder and sharp cheddar shreds.

I'm also gonna bite the bullet and attempt to walk into work tommorow. Wish me luck.

The best thing about being at work all day is...

*don't rush me, I'm fucking thinking*

*was fucking thinking in the shower this morning*

My thumbs might be less sharp if I clipped the nails, is all. I hope I don't have the same dream again.

I gotta walk the bridge tomorrow afternoon to get to Penn Station by 6:20 for my train to the Land of Pleasant Living and the giggles of my wee nephew preparing for Santa's visit. Like dry leaves before the wild hurricane fly...

The way my life as gone thus far, I'll probably die of wounds inflivted accidentaly by a flung picket sign. I'm gonna carbo load and shower tonight.

In other news, my 24-hour-urine-collection vessel just arrived. It's gonna have to wait until next weekend. Or I could carry it with me tommorrow just as a conversation piece. and for convenience.

I thought MTA was shut down?

Couple of weeks ago I breakfasted on a big old steak fried medium-rare in butter with mushrooms and an egg and a bunch of fresh parboiled asparagus on the side. Working from home is pretty sweet.

Awesome lunch gaspode!

Another thing you can do with bacon grease - take a potato, peel, coursely grate, and fry as hashbrowns.

Hugh, if this means you're going to be offline for the holidogs, I hope that they're warm, wonderful and restorative.
