A Mixed Bag of Tricks

[peg22]

So here's the week at a glance:

Parents visited. Went swimmingly. Lots of pipe organs and HIGH MASS. Hutch was on her best behavior. You know how good Hutch is with parents . . .

Sprained ankle. Carting the 55 lb suitcase of the mother who packed an entire bag of "canadian apples" in her case. (side note - why are there no Jonathan Apples in Quebec? They are the BEST)

Caught a cold/fever/chill/cough . . . blah. And there are essays and journals languishing on  my dining table, begging to be graded and all I can do is lie on the couch and watch HBO movies.

Thanksgiving head count: 11
Chairs in the condo: 6

Hutch will not allow either stovetop stuffing OR green bean casserole.
(side note - she did buy me a single serving of stovetop - just add water)

Got a the yummiest of yummy surprises this evening - Hutch brought home a bag from LUSH. OH Laura, Laura. Laura - I get it now!
Am in love with the soap and the soap and the rubbing bar that turns into body butter . . . laws.

And now it's time for Supernatural.  So it's all good.

yeah so I'm pretty sure I can work out what stovetop stuffing is but ... em, what's stovetop stuffing?

oh girl - invented in the 70s with the advertising slogan to use stuffing instead of potatoes at the family supper table. In a box with crumbs and seasoning packet. Just boil water and stir . . .

it's so bad it's very good. Had it alot in my youth - destroyed my taste for real stuffing - which is a shame, but I am a victim of good marketing!
