I played it as just a completely mundane thing to start - it's going to be very busy the next couple of weeks, she just got back from Texas and we haven't seen each other really, so let's go out to dinner at our favorite spot. No big deal, right? So I got her roommate to babysit for me (she was in on the whole thing, of course, and she's like family anyway) and we went out to drinks and supper at El Superior. Drinks were great and supper was perfect as well, Tony always being the perfect host of course, especially when he knows something is up. Afterwards, we took a drive out to the canyon where we had one of our first nature-type dates and hit the western mouth of the canyon just as the sun was down and sat at the base of a great big 300 foot cliff that was still glowing with the sun, right next to the river and the willow trees. I got out my little portable coffee service and we had after dinner coffee with biscotti etc. while we talked and chilled out and watched the stars appear in the Western sky and listened to the hawks and coyotes. After a while I started saying the very romantic and mushy things about how she was the girl I had always hoped and prayed for etc. etc. and finally got on my knee and presented the ring. She said yes, cried, lots of hugging and a big hollywood kiss, you know how it goes.

Has anyone ever cooked with shirataki noodles? They're kind of expensive but wow zero calories... Had it with soy/fish sauce/vinegar/hoisin/cayenne/sesame oil/rice wine/arugula/flank steak and I may have just figured out how I'm finally going to lose some weight while maintaining fluffy stool.

Your chances of contracting rabies is pretty low though. I mean yeah if you get it you die but only if you get it. That said I wouldn't have even thought to get a rabies injection as we don't really have it here.

She stepped up, told them to go away, they proceeded to find it even more fun, and she basically made them cry, one after the other. We've had to talk to her about not kicking them in the groin (only one boy was so unfortunate to start kicking, after which she kicked back, and hit him in the fork of his pants).

He's not immune. The rules have always been more relaxed in the chat thread, Abobo is unrestrained by any results of my ignoble defeat, and if he did anything truly egregious I'd still hit him for it. Thankfully, the rest of you have stepped up your shitposting to the point that he no longer stands out as especially insular or terrible.

The next couple weekends are going to be awesome for Winnipeg food for me, apart from the godawful weather! Tomorrow Osborne Village will be having its first ever Taste of the Village event, in which participating restaurants have a $5 dollar special, some places have free stuff! Osborne Village's facebook page has been posting participating restaurants all week and knowing the near-infinite number of good restaurants in the neighborhood I seriously am going to struggle picking where I want to go. Next weekend I'm going to be checking out a newish mediterranean restaurant, I'm so excited!  It's called Arkadash and they've got decently large meze and charcouterie menus with locally sourced ingredients, and really customizeable main courses. So pumped for a tajine with scallops and bacon!

Dear destination weddings; even though we are older now everybody is still poor. Cut that poo poo out. I've worked three long nights and now I'm taking a car to the train so I'm not late to the rehearsal and it's likely that all I'll eat today is coffee and beer. And it looks like I won't even bag a bridesmaid. gently caress that, ima bag me some bridesmaid.
