comfort food
Made a lovely tuna casserole last night for my wife (she worked late, so
we ended up having two dinners). Sauteed onions in butter, added (1% Lactaid) milk, thickened it, added it to noodles, peas, tuna, salt, pepper -- you know the drill. Baked at 325 until she came home and it was nice and crisp on the edges and all creamy inside. I haven't had tuna casserole in a long time, and it felt like a bit of self-care. serene, eating it left over for breakfast -- sorry, Michael -- http://serenejournal.livejournal.com http://www.jhuger.com |

Guess that says way too much about how my mind works - or doesn't. You do, however seem to be pretty ****ed a lot of the time. I guess I'm sorry for ya. I did my best to get over the constant bad attitude after I realized that I wasn't just hurting a lot of other people - I was mainly hurting myself. It only happens when ya get old, you know <G>. Course, I still screw up on a regular basis - thank God the folks here tend to be pretty forgiving. |

But I was a lowly grad student at Gray Freshwater Biological Institute. So I was low-life pond scum in the land of the posh. ;) -L. |

Tell you the truth though, maybe I'm just a "legend in my own mind" - I'm not sure at this point that I was even rude to her, come to think of it. I certainly didn't mean to be, but obviously, I embarrassed myself to the point that I idn't dare post with the same nick again. Guess we all grow up, eventually - just seems to have taken me longer than normal. And, BTW, I think you and Jill and I guess about 95% of everyone else that is crazy enough to hang out here are people that I sincerely wish I could meet in person. Probably never will, though - my loss. |

She seems to be a really nice person, and I'm way over the little "crush" I seemed to have on her a few years ago. No, take that back. I don't want to hurt her feelings, like she gives a damn that I think she's pretty cool <G>. Have to tell you, pretty much everyone here is very enjoyable to talk with. And, BTW, I thank you for becoming a friend - I guess I really needed one at the time. |
