My aorta is perfectly fine.

I agree. The flavor of the meat is so superior.

I admit, the frying oil is a good question, but no-one will ever accuse them of being healthy. We only eat there two or three times a month, when we're feeling too tired or lazy to cook.

At the beginning, would be good.

What do you have against McD's?

Night, Marty. Glad the house is okay.

Hey, Clo. Hey, Gary. Hey, Buckie. I made some Earl Grey tea, if you'd like a cup.

Why not? It's cheap, tasty, and best of all, neither Morgan or I had to cook it. I was tired after baking all day, and I knew Morgan would be tired from work, so I called, asked him to pick something up on his way home. At least it's not a greasy bucket of KFC.

Must you always have the last word?

I made candy cane cookies and lemon-rosemary shortbread, so things are going well. Morgan brought home a bag of food from McD's.

I'm reminded of a scene from The King of Queens. Carrie is sick, so Holly offers to let Carrie taste her "homework" from a cooking class that Holly is taking, at least until Carrie gets better. Eventually, Carrie does get better, but feigns continued illness to reap the benefits. She requests Holly to make some crab cakes, with real crab fresh from the boats down at the docks....which don't come in until 4:30 a.m. She also points out that it should be "easy" for Holly to bribe a crab man or two. Not that I'm suggesting you should do the same, Dugh!

I just finished Wolf Brother, by Michelle Paver. Six thousand years ago. Evil stalks the land. Only twelve-year-old Torak and his wolf-cub companion can defeat it. Their journey together takes them through deep forests, across giant glaciers, and into dangers they never imagined. Now I'm starting Spirit Walker, the sequel. Torak is a boy apart. A boy who can talk to wolves. As the Moon of No Dark waxes large, the clans fall prey to a horrifying sickness. Fear stalks the Forest. The very breath of Spring seems poisoned. No one knows the cause and only Torak can find the cure. His quest takes him across the sea to the mysterious islands of the Seal Clan. Here Torak battles an unseen menace and uncovers a betrayal that will change his life forever. The books in this series evoke the spirit of Clan of the Cave Bear. The most notable difference is that civilization has evolved into semi-static settlements, though farming and metalworking have yet to be discovered.

I love Angel Hair pasta. It's delicious with garlic butter sauce and warm bread.

Jack Vidgen tries out his new voice. Holy SH*T!

Hey, Bertie.

Hey, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches Thistle behind the ears*

Hey, Bumble B.

We're getting some snow, ourselves. Wish I could send you some.

What's new in Albertland?

Ever wonder what Tim Burton listens to during the holidays? Well here's one possibility.

Hey, Albert.

Nope, Ronan Parke is all I need for Christmas tunes.

Here's my version of Brandon. I found him on a Twitter feed.

This acorn has sprouted into a whole new tree. I agree, he doesn't appear to let his fame (or his father's) go to his head.

Hey, Bertie. @clochette It seems to be news to her.
