Now I'm cool again

At last! My Social D dancing-skelly shirt arrived! It actually makes me want to go work out. See, I had one lo these many years ago, and it apparently wandered away somewhere between Boston and San Francisco. Trying to replace it has been a saga of bounced email, online stores going out of business at exactly the wrong moment, and places just plain not having it in stock.

I made some mommy-cookie dough to make cookies for the party I'm going to, but it tasted kind of weird. Not bad, just not right. Too salty or something, even though I followed the recipe, and my mom swears she puts the whole half-teaspoon of salt in. So I decided to make gingerbread cake instead. It's vegan!

I'm trying to decide if the oh-so-nummy boy who works at the grocery store I sometimes go to (i.e., not the one I can see from my living room) is worth making a move on. (He couldn't be more my type, physically, if I had placed an order. Tall, skinny, long black hair.) I really ought to start being attracted to the gainfully employed. But I like 'em a little scruffy and with long hair. The gainfully employed tend to be a little too kempt for me.

I really should have been here in the early 90s. My type of boy was thick upon the ground. *sniffle*

I'm sure the suspense is killin' y'all. </sarcasm>

Figured out why cookie dough tasted odd. Used unbleached flour, and am sure Mom and Grandma always used bleached, seeing as they're in Tennessee and wouldn't go out of their way to get the unbleached kind. It's just a little too salty and bitter. :( Gingerbread always good, though.

Am excited about new food. I'm making a winter vegetable stew this weekend that uses parsnips, which I have never had. I'm already thinking of what to do for Xmas dinner, as I'll be all alone. Might try creme brulee.

Did all my Xmas shopping except for the local folk. Yay paycheck! Got Hed (my mom - will explain that someday, maybe) Sims 2. She LOVES the first one and has made little Sims of our whole family. Including ChefBoy. And possibly my evil twin.

People meet my parents and say "So that's how she got that way." Only in a good way. I hope.
