Lasagna Update

No. Damned. Ricotta.

=

No. Damned. Lasagna.

(And I know I had ricotta. It was in the fridge. Yes, it WAS. Now it is gone. And I don't remember eating it. Nope. Not me.)

(No, it didn't get put in the freezer by mistake. I'm not in the habit of putting cheeses in the freezer mistakenly. They all go in the drawer in the fridge labeled "Butter/Cheese". And anyway, I just looked in the freezer. No ricotta.)

(Of course, I do find myself eating constantly these days and my diet doesn't officially begin until the 5th. Suddenly I realize out of the blue that I'm...eating AGAIN. Maybe I DID eat the ricotta.)

Damn. No lasagna.

The Auntie Issue...

...has zero teeth (which is not to say that the Aunt herself has no teeth -- I have absolutely no information on her dental history).

I think a bigger October surprise could be when people jump on Palin's Khalidi fear-mongering and the money sent from the organization McDumb was on the board of, about a 5:1 ration ^ than what was given by the organization BO was on. People should be all over THAT one.

I'm just eating...

...for the next four days. Non-stop.

I wanted lasagna, but there was no ricotta. (There WAS ricotta in the fridge at some point, but it's gone, and I don't remember eating it.) So I had a bag of corn-nuts instead. The big bag.

Thank you. I had not read that his aunt had been stung. That makes her struggles all the more poignant. :)

We should be much more concerned...

...about Cindy McCain's handlers from Planet Vultron, her ties to Empress Xyprexa of the Northern Land Mass, and whether she truly has a fleet of Garlonian mercenaries with a fleet of Class-B WarMongers parked on the dark side of the moon.

My menu is changing too.

After the whole disappointing lasagna thing and the bag of corn-nuts, I thought a cassoulet would be nice. But I'd have to cookk a duck, and I know I'd just eat the whole duck before I ever got to the beans and the meats.

I know I'm really getting tired of that huge damned tater-tot casserole, though. Man, that just kept gettin' bigger...

And I think we all know that Hensley's activities were, of course, underwritten by Empress Xyprexa's predecessor, Empress Aquanetta, in return for honorary membership in the Trilateraluminatti...and three cases of gin...

EVEN IF WE PUT THIS STORY TO MUSIC...

"Aunt Zeituni is leavingi tonight on a plane

I can see the red tail lights heading for Kenya

Oh and I can see Aunt Zeituni waving goodbye

God it looks like Aunt Zeituni, must be the clouds in my eyes

They say Kenya is pretty though Ive never been

Well Aunt Zeituni says its the best place that she's ever seen

Oh and she should know, she's been there enough

Lord I miss Aunt Zeituni, oh I miss her so much

Zeituni my Auntie you are older than me

Do you still feel the pain of the scars that wont heal

Your eyes have died but you see more than i

Aunt Zeituni your'e a star in the face of the sky"

...IT'S A NON-STARTER

We get bacon from pork bellies...

...which makes me wonder what we would get from bird bellies?Chickon? Duckon? Gooson?

small strips, though.

OR ALTERNATELY...

All our bags are packed

We're ready to go

I'm standin' hhere outside our door

I hate to wake Omar up to say "Let's fly."

But the dawn is breakin'

Its early morn

The taxi's waitin'

She's blowin her horn

Already I'm missing

Amstel Light and those bean pies.

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll go to Kenya with me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

cause we're leavin' on a jet plane

Dont know if we'll be back again.

AND IT'S STILL JUST NOT A STORY THAT'S GOING TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE.

Oh babe, I hate to go...

Or Karl and Dick...

...have already assured him that it's in the bag by the man in the middle.

I can't stop eating.

Great...

...now I want a Big Mac.

(And a Quarter Pounder and some Sarkozy Fries.)

I predict...that I will continue to eat obsessively until we have an outcome!

...that I will finish off yesterday's ribs and mac&cheese for lunch today.

I suspect I will have cheetos (the corn-nuts are gone) some time around 4:00.

I'm fairly certain that I will have some of Saturday's casserole and some asparagus for dinner.

I expect that I will snack on something disgusting before bed.

I think for breakfast tomorrow I will probably have waffles and sausage, 'cause it's election day and it will be good to start the day with comfort food. And there are all those blueberries in the freezer that need to be used...

I'll probably chew my fingernails as a mid-morning snack while I flip channels and websites.

For lunch and dinner, well I just haven't got that far yet.

But I'll be eating.

YOU BETCHA!

AND FINALLY...my prediction for Wednesday morning:

Catamitebastard EXPLODES! (Regardless of who wins but pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaassse let it be BO)

The Merkeley and Smith one here has been pretty sleazy, but it has also been historically relentless...I can't wait to start seeing commercial advertisements again...

Here, have a blackberry scone...you too, Pedinska! (Seeds alert).
