Vegetable Melange posted: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. Go for it! Even if you have to brown-bag her. There's that pluck and Yankee can-do spirit that the world* admires. *Barring certain countries and territories

whats the irc channel that people are actually in? also are there any other places you guys ever go to chat with food people in real time, bounce around ideas and stuff? last night I had homework to run a special with eggplant, kale and tomatillos would have been fun to bounce some ideas around with people but nobody in #gws or #goonswithspoons is ever actually there ended up running a vegetarian entree special of an eggplant parmesan but with a spicy tomatillo sauce instead of tomato, then a side of kale braised with basil, ginger, raisins and pine nuts

I have good news too! The GM (at the job I've been at about two months) gave me a $50 gift card and added four extra hours of OT to my timesheet last week because I've been working so hard and doing what needs to be done regardless of whether or not it's "my job." Honestly that's just how I always work and I was psyched enough to be authorized to work OT period, but it feels really loving good to be appreciated. Since I turn 30 next week, the timing is perfect! Now how should I treat myself? :-D

So gravette and I are going to be going on a minimoon in a week, for a week, to San Luis Obispo. Looking for suggestions of places to eat, things to do. We've been before, but it was a long time ago. Namely, I would love a place to get awesome fresh shucked oysters, or even an awesome seafood market, I can bring my own knife. We were thinking of doing Hearst Castle because we didn't do it last time. Probably going to go wine tasting a few times, that's what we did last time and we really enjoyed it. Any other suggestions? Maybe a range of restaurants, too. Like hole in the wall but awesome to fine dining.Wroughtirony posted:Since I turn 30 next week, the timing is perfect! Now how should I treat myself? :-D Minibar.

I'll definitely to go Minibar, after I build myself a time machine, travel back to 1986 to invest my $50 in Microsoft stock, head to 1999 to cash it out and then make one last quick stop last month to make the reservation.

On my phone so typing sucks, but her dad is a super conservative True bleeds red, white, and blue Texan with a big ford belt buckle and snake skin boots saying we are living in sin. Also that I don't know poo poo about farming even though he has lived in the city his whole life. Her mother is a Walmart aisle blonde, fake titted lady that uses far too much hairspray and thinks I, being a farmer, am not worthy of her Precious Daughter and that I must have knocked her up to get her to quit her job and farm with me. Gonna serve them a horse head on a platter in the morning.

Actually on second thought you ought to just go kick them off your property and tell them that they can come back when they can be civil. That's what I'd do.

I'm gonna have a good day tomorrow, barring anything major like an accident! http://www.junglejims.com/weekendoffire/details/ Also I had a real good day at work doing something different. I had fun for most of the day instead of just part of it for the first time in awhile, so that's also good. And I've got a good chance at getting a promotion.

Unless he sports a nickeled Colt 1911 chambered in .38 Super with ivory grip plates either decorated with the Madonna or a crudely drawn nude lady.

Babby likes cheese. I gave him some pont l'Eveque (soft washed rind, pungent but not very strongly flavoured) to try this morning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9zMuVZn1vQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player Casu, I'd be so tempted to tell them to gently caress off but as others have mentioned, your GF is a factor: unless you clear it with her!

What's so great about it (and children the season is coming fast) is how he never actually mentions, as far as I can recall, what it is that blows his gasket so, either. We're just left to wonder in horrified curiosity about what Lovecraftian horror he has for a mother-in-law.

3am update because why not. By the time I finished closing up the barns and milking, the lady had already told her parents to  . But, she's still going to be hanging out with them this weekend because  . So now I'm figuring out last minute plans to stay scarce, as I don't have much else to do this weekend.Maybe I'll go fishing.

I love following thanks giving in GWS. Best season! GWS'ers in impotent rage about foods done wrong, sliding slowly into a mildly intoxicated apathy, ending up with Whisky dicking their significant others in while trying to metaphorically sticking it to their in-laws. Also... The Dino episode of 'What??? No meats?' is classic. I love this season!

Also, while out eating I met one of my former employees, the first one I fired. He came up to me, shook my hand, and told me that he was happy in his new job, that it suited him, and said that he was glad to see me. He then progressed to tell me that he knew it was important to me to know this. Best drat firering ever!
