I can't decide how to classify this motley crew. The zlul crew?

I'm in decent shape and I've been in excellent shape but my abs have never quite looked like that. So, erm... you'll have to subtract 1.

:D *hides.

[Christina]

Are all of we women hiding behind you guys or something?

[BWE]

I don't know. Maybe they're home cooking?

:D

*hides again.

I don't think that I know you but when I got links to dramabombs on TR your posts were making me laugh so hard it hurt. If I wasn't laughing I was cheering.

Well. Um. I trust that's a good thing? :) :o

Glad I could help you get in your daily chuckle. I get quite a few at TR that people probably don't intend as chuckle inducers, so I try to share.

There's not really much more to know. :) I'm like that irl too.

[Christina]

Yeah it was a good thing, for me anyway. I'm more the type to get disgusted and go find something better to do when the drama queens and ditherers get to work, so it's fun to see people that don't.

[BWE]

I do have a couple of rants I liked. One mentioned band camp. I don't know where it was though.

[Christina]

Probably my best rant about the whole thing was in a PM to someone that shall remain nameless since it came unsolicited. It went on for three paragraphs and poured out every sarcastic nasty comment I had been wanting to make about it for months. Contemptuous doesn't begin to describe it. I'm so happy that I managed to keep it to a PM and not say it in public or it would still be generating some outrage. But it felt so good...

I missed this yesterday. A year ago I would have been recreationally outraged but then I retired and now I spend a good amount of time at home cooking, and I'm turning into a cross between Betty Crocker and a hippie version of Martha Stewart. It sure beats working.

Funny, I'm a reasonable cook but my wife is serious gourmet. It's sort of wasted on me though. I have what she refers to as a 'horizontal palate.' Where most people see things on a sort of vertical 1-10 type scale, I tend to see things as variations on a 5. :)

Part of the challenge for me is cooking for someone who is perfectly happy with macoroni and cheese out of a box and never gains weight. My partner sees meat, starch, cheese, fattening sauces and junk as the only useful food items in the world and I eat things like soy products, whole grains, vegetables and fish and good chocolate. So far he doesn't notice the whole grain pasta, has adjusted to whole wheat bread and can't tell that I'm using broth and cornstarch to thicken things up instead of milk or cream. He's happy about home made soup and breads though and likes vegetables if I cover them up with a lot of something fattening for him. He'll eat anything if I put enough pasta or rice under it too. I'm learning how to be retired so I have half a dozen new hobbies that I never had time to do and that's just one of them. It's so unlike me to bother with cooking very much that it makes me laugh. I'm thinking about getting a frilly apron.
