Mental note: do not do any favors for people you have not heard from in 2 years.

Let's generalize this into a Big Rule: Do not do any favors for people you hear from only when they want a favor. Especially if they pretend they just called to catch up.
You're only as good as your grease.

why the fuck is "in the kitchen" in a completely different forum category than all the other cooking forums? and why the hell is "general food discussion" in yet another category?

I got mine at Sur La Table (8x3) and a restaurant supply store (10x2). Sur La Table had the 10x2 one as well, but I went to the restaurant supply store first.
Never assume animosity when stupidity could be the cause.

People like her are always scared. It’s a lonely world when you’re just so damned right and everyone else is so stupid. That’s why God made cats.

One of my T'giving guests called last night to ask if she could bring a friend - someone we've never met, with whom she just had a first date.

I was so taken aback I said yes. :lol:

Oh, I kind of had that -- guest called yesterday asking if it was okay to bring someone. But since I had already invited next-door-neighbor and agreen to his bringing 2 more, how could I say no? :lol: So it's a good thing I bought another duck yesterday: 2 ducks for 6 people, plus calamari for 1 plus whoever wants, should be fine.

The guy turned down her invite - he thought it might be awkward since they don't know each other that well. Sensible fellow. :lol:

And she got me out of the weeds, same as last Thanksgiving.

Mongo, you bad boy.

Weeds as in too many dishes, too little kitchen help. She watched over the Brussels sprouts while I was carving turkey.
