I have whirled 9 tomatoes and much oregano, and added stuff, and cooked it. This is my first fresh spaghetti sauce ever made. It's not, however, terribly exciting, but does come fully equipped with toasty garlic bread and pasta and wine and whining cat underfoot.

I wonder if I could take a piece of Nebu's brain and exchange it with a piece of Quarky's brain, resulting in two sociable cats who have their own lives too.

Brain ready for weekend. Dawdled, must still work some. Nosno tomorro. Boo.

218 lbs of shelving assembled. 218 lbs of shelving to go. Let us look up "lbs": "The origin is in the Latin word libra, which could mean both balance scales (hence the symbol for the astrological sign Libra, which was named after a constellation that was thought to resemble scales) and also a pound weight, for which the full expression was libra pondo, the second word being the origin of our pound."

After the shelving is up, the unshelved can be shelved, and the floor can be seen, and the replacement tablesurface for the kitchen can be designed and constructed, and the kitchen tablesurface can be stolen to put atop my desk, and the cat can be put upon it.

What does everyone do with old magazines?

old magazines = girl scout collages

The local library has a cart where you can leave your old magazines or take someone else's.

If I think that I may refer to them again, I keep them and put them in magazine boxes. This applies to precisely two magazines that I subscribe to: Keyboard Magazine and Everyday Food. Otherwise, I recycle them or give them to people who I think would be interested in their content. Sometimes I use them for packing material by tearing out the pages one-by-one and crumpling them.

Spaghetti sauce is a wonderous art. I've only done it a few times. Once or twice it turned out bland and once or twice it turned out delicious. I haven't nailed down the key differences that brought upon the different outcomes. One very important element in a really home-made pasta-and-sauce-and-garlic-bread meal, though, is fresh, home-made pasta, which is significantly easier to make than I expected it to be.

I keep a few for making collages ala Winston Smith when I'm in a mood to "say something" but I don't know what, but mostly I just recycle them.

Old magazines.. I try to pass them on, leave them in waiting rooms, or the like.. or just recycle them. A few friends and I have a sort of informal exchange going on with new ones.

and TY! Just the other day, Kiddo asked why "pound" is abbreviated "lbs", and stumped us both. :D Learn something new every day!
