SAKE
.
Sake is a weird beastie. Drink it cold and it tastes a little strange…like soy sauce. Drink it warm/hot and suddenly it’s alcohol. I enjoyed it immensely though. Just thought i’d share.
We Have This Place Surrounded
Where am I?
I’m sitting in the kitchen, that’s where. Hugo gave me my “bonus” for the year.
I have a new Dell laptop now and wireless and iTunes libraries shared across the network and it’s all so fun it’s really quite nauseating so I won’t dwell on it.
I set up my first secured wireless access point the other day. Not a major accomplishment but it’s something to me because I have never done it before. It’s not exactly WEP secure, but there are only 3 computers in the world that can connect to it now. Tadaaaa. Go bug.
Miles to go before i sleep
Going to have to make this one quick.
Hugo and I survived Christmas. Barely. We spent almost the entire holiday looking at the napkins on the tables cause they looked mighty tasty. My family isn’t understanding that the difference between made of meat and has meat in it is a moot point to a vegetarian. Evidence:
Baked Beans
Yay: Fiber, sweet, tasty, protein.
Poo: 3 giant slabs of bacon therein
Potato Salad
Yay: ULTRA Tasty. Veggies. Mmm.
Poo: 900000 bits of bacon therein.
Yay: bits of bacon were sizable enough to discern them and avoid if one wanted to do such
Poo: creator of potato salad uses the grease from the bacon in the potato mixture
Stuffing
Poo: A Haiku For You
all i can say
there is no yay
giblets
Of the 3 parties we went to, we were willing to eat cranberry sauce, spinach dip, hashbrown casserole, deviled eggs, and green bean casserole. Those are all side dishes and there wasn’t enough of them to make a plateful, even if those items had all been at the same party, which they weren’t.
It sounds like I’m complaining here. I’m not actually. I didn’t give in. I didn’t want to. I may have been hungry, but I stuck with it anyway. I am proud of me.
Next year, i’m bringing a veggie tray, pita chips, and some hummus. It’s my own damn fault we went hungry. I should have known better.

My mom got me an ASSLOAD of kitchen stuff. Choppers, knives, whisks, and peelers. Oh my. I went to target tonight and bought a LOT of stuff to organize and clean the kitchen. There are several “traditions” I love and Kitchen Witchery is one of them. So tomorrow, to celebrate our new “lifestyle,” I’m cleaning the kitchen, top to bottom. Cleansing, blessing, the works. If we don’t need it/want it, I’m going to get rid of it. If it means something to us, i’m going to put it up for safe keeping and get it out of my way.
Look out people, she has fire and sharp things.
I think I’m also going to do a massive spiritual cleansing of the structure and the property. I’m afraid we may have some stagnant mojo.
What was i saying?

Oh well. I forget. Time for bed.
