She's got a wedding ring - well, two, as the original platinum one gave her eczema so she stopped wearing it, and I then bought her a beautiful vintage Danish silver ring, but she's stopped wearing that for the same reason. Having babby means much hand washing. At least, I think that's the reason... :ohdear:

Also I am going to be back in Chicago tomorrow for a day or so. I have decided that while I don't care for the pizza, the hotdogs are great and I am going to see how many different places I can eat one from.

I bought my ring from a jewelry store which came with an appraisal for three times its value.

yeah I sort of feel like this must be the case, thanks for the reality check. still though, just using pricescope.com, I think I got a decent deal, and do plan to at least have it appraised by one other person.

Really nice ring!

Dear E/N,
I have been in a battle of escalations through the last 24 hours - holy poo poo office politics can be tiresome!

Then on the other hand, having the appology meeting today was as awkward as finding out that you prematurely ejaculated while grinding at a school dance... A pleasure mixed with a profound shame!

The right way to handle that isn't by asking on the way out the door "Was it as good for you as it was for me?" by the way...

Also - I have new employees, cultureshocking them like gently caress right now - they're fun, they have absolutely no idea what the hell is going on! My old guys are watching them bemusedly with an overbearing smile!

One of my fondest memories was going with my friend to pawn the rings from his failed marriage. They lasted maybe 3-4 months. We bought a poo poo ton of beer and had a awesome party.

That's...unusual. Do you think this is a good thing for the company or a bad thing? Also, congratulations, assuming a kinda-promotion comes with a kinda-raise and won't require you to change your inspiring style of human resource management.

Apparently there was an Anthony Bourdain roast last night. Andrew Zimmern tweeted a few of the more devastating zingers. Rachel Ray got her chance to hit back, no idea what she said yet. I'm hoping they'll put it on Food Network at some point, but from the sound of it there might not be much besides extended bleeping and commercial breaks.

It's getting cold out again and that means it's time for Inner Warmth Peanut Stew. Making this tonight with acorn squash because the store was out of butternut. I hope it's as good with the substitution.

I'm making a pumpkin cheesecake for a family dinner, and I stumbled upon Paula Dean's recipe for one. The filling is pretty much one of the many variations of cheesecake recipes (even though it seems a little egg heavy). Then I got to the crust recipe. Graham crackers, sugar, and

:byodame:ONE WHOLE STICK OF BUTTER, Y'ALL.

A FULL stick of butter for the crust? The most I've ever seen before is 3 or 4 tablespoons. How would the crust even hold together? Wouldn't the cheesecake be floating on a pond of butter?

her recipe may have more graham than normal. But really, as long as it holds together tightly, you're good. Just start at 4T and work up until it's firm.

Nope, normal amount of graham crackers, just extra butter because Paula Dean. I ended up using my usual graham crust recipe instead.

Paula Deen's Vanilla Milkshake consists of 2t vanilla extract, 2 cups milk, 4 cups ice-cream and 8 goddamn tablespoons of sugar.









It's goddamn delicious. But also shameful in the way I imagine how eating ortolan feels like.

I'm not one to defend Paula, but in this particular case, what's wrong with the extra butter? It's appropriate in this application, and would taste good.

I like Graham crust to be a bit crisp. That much butter would saturate it and make it too soggy for me. I used 4-5 tbl of butter and it was plenty for the amount of crust I needed. I'm not on the warpath about it, I just found it funny that she would sneak extra butter into every recipe possible.

Sport peppers and dill pickle relish. Vienna makes the bright green kind, they put dye in it I believe. They also sell sport peppers but any brand of those and dill relish will work fine. Don't forget the tomatoes and celery salt!

Oh, and choped onions, yellow mustard, pickle spear and gotta use a steamed poppy-seed bun. Some places put lettuce on it but they are Wrong.

I saw a commercial for avocados the other day during some sport event where the premise was that the sports referee jumped out of the tv to yell at the dude because he didn't bring home avocados to put on the hot dogs. who the gently caress puts avocado on hot dogs?

edit: I'm not saying i think it would be super bad or disgusting but is that a common thing somewhere? that is not an intuitive use of an avocado for me
