Well, just did my semi-regular going to my userinfo page, noting with surprise that several people have friended me, then added them all recklessly without regard as to whether I recognized them or not. This will especially come in handy during my current temp job, where I am forced to stare at a spreadsheet all day, and need frequent breaks to keep my brain from spilling out my ears, so I charge all of you to post often. My very life may depend on it.
I have officially declared myself allergic to Chee-Tos. The last three times I've had them, my lips have started breaking out -- this is a reaction I'm *not* wanting to encourage since two years ago right after AnimeFest my lips reacted to *something* and tried to peel themselves off my face for two weeks, necessitating intervention of the medical sort with a prescription steroid cream that instructed me not to apply a diaper to the affected part until after it had dried. Lovely.
Found two roasting chickens at the store, so am making chicken stock this weekend. And I have a question for those in the DFW area -- are there any places around here that sell meat that contains actual flavor? My mother and I were bitching to each other that the gravy from the chicken fried steak we cook (which is properly dark brown and only lightly floured - that thickly-battered stuff from restaurants Just Ain't Right) has no flavor when we make it anymore, and I realized that it wasn't us making bad gravy, it was that the /meat/ nowadays had no flavor. I thought about going to Whole Foods and seeing if they had some sort of expensive fancy round steak, but haven't stirred to do so yet.
I did figure out where the meat flavor is going -- a few weeks back I was buying spaghetti sauce and realized as I stood in front of the Wall o'Spaghetti Sauce fruitlessly searching for a spaghetti-sauce-flavored spaghetti sauce that a large percentage of the jars there were advertising "Meat Flavor!" And two and two made five as it usually does and I realized that this, obviously, was what They [TM] were doing with all my meat flavor. My mother concurs with my theory, for what it's worth.
I apologize for this reckless posting of information. I shall return to my normal content-free meme-posting anon.
