Short Takes
Mouse kicks butt.
Radioactive scotch tape.
Posted a whie ago, but topical now -- Screwing It Up - A Manual For the New Home Preserver.
Perhaps a bit of a tearjerker, but I found it awfully inspiring: Running for my Life. Almost makes me want to take up running, though I think I'll stick with my bike.
A nice analysis of the health care problem in America: http://www.worldchanging.com/archives/008803.html.

In other news, Chocolate's paw looked a lot better at the last bandage change. He's _sort_ of getting used to the thing, but only sort of; he flaps his back paw around a lot like it's wet. I try not to laugh. Too much.
Been doing breads. Not raised breads; two days ago was banana bread, and today is pumpkin bread. Having fun with it. Also, it's soup season.
Bought a bunch of wool at Newcomer's. Yes, I know. This is all getting turned into blankets, though. I have one on my bed already, though I'll be messing with it some. Love me a good wool blanket.
And that's about it for this post, anyway.

If you're going to the trouble of making Shepherds Pie, at least have the decency to make it with real shepherd.

And all this time I've been refusing to each Girl Scout Cookies because they weren't made with real GS, and I go and blow it with this!

I thawed butter to make pumpkin bread. Must actually do this weekend! (Last time I made two loafs that lasted less than a week, and the boyfriend ate...um, like three slices.)

Yeah, getting the butter soft enough without being actually molten was...difficult. I has theories for this time round though.
And, om nom.
