Different sort of noodles. If I'm craving pasta and feel too sick to truly cook, then I'll go for the dry noodles (either hot or sesame). If I need soup then it's generally a hot noodle soup, maybe with some wontons in it.

ohhhhhhh. I see. My bad.

Ugh. Blame the rightsholder group (ESA) for this. The Copyright Office isn't going to stick its neck out with the kind of opposition. Which sucks.

the "/s" is used to indicate snark and on the good side of copyright/right to repair

It's interesting to me how we flip flop based on who the players in the issue are, along with where we draw the line of support.

Hey, just an aside, if you are feeling better: cook some fresh pasta, cool them and dry them and store them in the fridge.

When you'll feel down later this week 'cos of work, flu or just general life, you just fry a lot of garlic, chili flakes and lemon zest in an indecent about of olive oil and sauté your pasta in it. Depending on your level of energy, chicken strips or even can tuna can be an easy protein to add.

Law & Order : SVU (Special Vampire Unit)

Every episode ends up being a complicated real property issue.

Detective Bloodsucker: So, Blackacre is a fee tail ... I can't get the consent of the possessing tenant. But what about the heir?

Sgt. Drac: You fool! The heir cannot be ascertained!

FBI: Federal Bloodsucking Investigators

“We have a case!”

“Have we been asked for our assistance?”

“No, but it’s…”

“Stop right there. You KNOW we can’t get involved unless the local agencies invite us in.”

“Sir, we JUST got a request from the sheriff in that county.”

“You heard her- grab your tools- bat wings in 5 minutes!”

No, its not. Hasnt been, continues to not be. In any way.

If I rolled my eyes any harder, they would detach.

It may have taken 2 days, and I may have been sweating by the end, but I have completed the Pasta with a Protein, and its great.

Does Samsung make anything that isnt a TV that is not a total piece of garbage? My washer just exploded (common for Samsung units).

Im going Speed Queen now. Ill be dead and it will still be washing clothes.

For a brief period of time I worked at BestBuy. An LG rep told me that Samsung washers/dryers were garbage and prone to breaking due to their drums being belt driven, rather than the plainly superior direct drive technology of the LGs.

I took that with a large pinch of salt but it's something I remembered for some reason. The apartment unit I'm currently living in was freshly remodeled prior to us moving in, and it has a brand new GE washer/dryer set. We've been here 19 months and the washer is starting to sound like it needs to be taken out back and given the Old Yeller treatment.

That’s one benefit of cooking a bunch, portioning it out, and freezing it. We almost always have a solid week or two of home-cooked meals waiting for us. Microwave and done.

This has been our strategy as well. It's just two of us, and cooking for two is kind of challenging. (Maybe that's just because we're Mid-westerners raised on casseroles and crock-pot meals but I digress) So generally we cook dinner, and will eat left overs for our work lunches. You get sick of eating the same thing four days in a row so we usually freeze a serving or two as well. Last Christmas her parents got us a vacuum sealer and that's been awesome. Fill the bags, squish them flat, seal and freeze. We've got slabs of pulled pork, soup, lasagna, and more in the freezer.

If you're feeling adventurous you can pull out the stack, shuffle them up and deal yourself out dinner at random.

I'm imagining the original Twin Peaks, but with Agent Cooper as a drac, and slowly sucking out the filling of a jelly donut.

"A damn fine cup of coffee? And these jelly donuts? Almost as good as the real thing...."

My preference would be more metaphysically aligned: the vampire must be invited by a human/mortal that genuinely lives in the home. It's magic, not law. But it's not like I'd cry out against a story that did it your way.

I want to see a series where they're trying a court case and the defense says the warrant was served illegally because the cop was a vamp (surprise!) and the perp didn't invite them in, and then the case gets all hung up on the issue...

When I'm down and out my substitute is a can of tuna and a bowl of hot instant noodles. Boil, strain, mix, done.

Two packages of ramen, two cans of tuna, a can of mixed vegetables and a can of cream of mushroom soup...
Instant tuna casserole.

Brad never made it as a fighting man
Brad couldn't cut it as a cleric healing
Can't play a thief without a gameplan
Now he wants to play a class that's unappealing

And this is how Brad reminds me
This is how Brad remind me
Of what Bards really are
This is how Brad reminds me
Of what Bards really are

It's not like Brad to say "Sorry"
Plays a different Bard but the same old story
He plays a class that's godforsaken
Another bad joke and my mind is achin'

And I've been wrong, I've been down
Bards drive me to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream "Is the bard dead yet?"
