Happy Birthday, Miss Sassypants!

I like to drink wine more than I used to (I'm butchering that line from The Godfather), but I'm not often online to share the glow. I do visit the Drunk Thread when I am, though.

Last night, when my wonderful healthy pizza stuck to the freakin' stone, the resulting mess (which we ate anyway, because that was dinner) merited opening the last bottle of red. It dulled the pain. Of course, this morning the crumbs and flakes and cornmeal all over the stove and the floor nearby remind me of my cooking failure. Who will clean it all up, I wonder?

Maryn, clueless

Mr. Grr and I made a pizza the other night and it wasn't very good at all. We didn't have a stone, just an aluminum pan, and it was a disaster. We couldn't get it off of the pan. We ended up just tossing the pan. I'm going to get a new one in the next day or so, as soon as I decide between a new aluminum pan and a stone. He managed to eat most of his half, but I couldn't get through mine. Plus, it was a whole wheat/honey crust, and I managed to drip honey on the dog. Obviously, you can't just wipe honey off of fur and be done with it, so we had to give him a bath on top of trying to clean up the pizza mess. I think we'll buy crust from now on.

Six people went into cardiac arrest from reading this.

Happy birthday, Ms. Sass. Keep the groove going 'til the wee hours.

Refrigerator repairmen just left. Hopefully, this means that my perishables won't be perishing in record time any more. I'm not pleased with the mess they left, though the dogs seem to be appreciative of the large puddle in the middle of the kitchen floor. Looks like a rousing game of Marco Polo.

Carol, thinking of joining them

Marco!

BeatrixKiddo · Mar 30, 2011

Polo!

Happy Birthday Sassy lady!

No thanks.

They're nice, but I couldn't eat a whole one.

Which reminds me of what I heard on the train this morning.
Person: What d'you want to do for lunch today?
Other Person: Render the salad unto Caeser!

Maryn · Mar 31, 2011

Don't you just love eavesdropping? I do.

Maryn, who should have been a spy

Mom'sWrite · Mar 31, 2011

I have cold food in my refrigerator, including fresh lemonade.

Carol, appreciator of small things

Maryn · Mar 31, 2011

I'll hold that thought until the idea of cold food actually has some appeal. It's 40 degrees here.

Maryn, hoping tomorrow's predicted snowstorm misses her

Grr sorry to hear about your pizza trouble. I always use spray oil (like pam but i buy the store brand) and then sprinkle my pan with corn meal before I roll out my dough, on stone or aluminum. We bought an aluminum pan with holes in it the other day. So far I've only used bobali crust or reheated delivery on it but it made the crust crispy. I didn't use corn meal on that. it would be messy.

Mr. Groove took me to Outback Steakhouse last night for my b-day. We had appetizers, I had a rum drink, and then after dinner they sang to me and brought me ice cream. It was a good date.

Meat and a date -- two good things. And ice cream -- three good things.

Meat and a date

Maryn · Apr 1, 2011

Speaking frankly, I never went on a date that didn't include at least the possibility of meat.

Maryn, who can't believe she said that

Komnena · Apr 1, 2011

What is chocalate?

Maryn · Apr 1, 2011

It's quite similar to chocolate, but oddly enough, much lower in calories. Very hard to obtain, of course.

I need to buy some groceries, but I'm dragging my feet, partly because I'm lazy and partly because the store's jammed with Easter goodies which are very hard to resist.

Maryn, whose intention is to buy none at all

NeuroFizz · Apr 1, 2011

I always through meat-and-greet had the order reversed.

Just quoting so when Maryn edits it into something less mucky, it'll still be here.

We move in very different circles.

Grrarrgh · Apr 1, 2011

Morning, all. Maryn, if you manage to find some chocalate, please send some my way. Preferably dark chocalate. A lower calorie chocolate is just what I've been looking for.

sassandgroove · Apr 1, 2011

yay for april fools day at AW!

sassandgroove · Apr 1, 2011

oh grrr I LOVE your avatar. Maryn's is cool too. I still have my christmas one, maybe I should change it.

maestrowork · Apr 1, 2011

I like the new House... we should make this permanent.

And I like the new AW colors and fonts... I know it's April's Fool.. but we should keep it.

sassandgroove · Apr 1, 2011

no - i like for today but it would get on my nerves over time.

Nice to see you Ray!

maestrowork · Apr 1, 2011

No one would get tired of chocolate! Especially Ray's chocolate pants (which my avatar is not wearing....)

I'm relieved to hear the date-meat corresponding relationship hasn't been renovated in the name of progress.

Carol, suddenly concerned about such things
