bxgrl…you make the stuffed cabbage.
My grapeleaves are the vegetarian version.
I rarely cook with meat. I can’t stand touching meat.
Mopar, thanks for saying that. Honestly, as someone who was out of work after 9-11 when the job market was similar I felt really down and when I saw several people giving unsolicited advice that desperate, “why can’t I even get an interview” feeling came flooding back.
It’s really rough and the fact is once you reach a certain level you can’t go back down the ladder. No one will hire someone they think might leave for something better. Besides the whole idea of “pounding the pavement” in a city where every building requires security clearance isn’t possible these days. Everything’s electronic until you get an interview.
“I don’t think mopar saw it THL, or at least she acted as if she hadn’t today when she came into the OT and talked about Victorian clothing [WTF?].”
And I just read this. What are you referring to?
I hate cooking, but my hot buttered popcorn is unrivaled.
A brownstoner foodfest! Love it! I make the best stuffed cabbage ever. Takes hours but its great. I can do a vegetarian version too if needed.
THL, are you coming to the soiree next week?
“Good for you for keeping that so close to the vest.”
– Obviously I didn’t always keep everything close to the vest or I wouldn’t have any rugrats.
“Oh well, I suppose that does put the kibosh on me hooking you up with my ultra hot single friend who seems to have the same sense of humor you do.”
– Well at least she has one out of two things going for her!
crap- the cat has gutted yet another roll of toilet paper.
THL- I had a good laugh about the sleeves peaking in 1895. the “What I learned” comment. First, leg-o-mutton sleeves had a glorious, pumpkin sized run from 1896 to 1898. 1895 was actually the beginning. I wouldn’t have posted that piece of useless info at all but I was also upset for cobblehiller too.
Are the lines still long at this hour?
