Spurt of Productivity
I actually got quite a bit of stuff done yesterday. In addition to playing the Sims, I went to the store and got vital things like laundry soap, then came home and made a great big pot of black bean soup. While the soup was cooking, I went to the gym. Then I came home and made plane and hotel reservations for New Year's. Rob and I devoured the soup while we caught up on Jon Stewart, Jeopardy, West Wing (oh, boy, Kristin Chenoweth!), Smallville, then watched the new Survivor and E.R. (Wow, that looks like a lot of TV.)
Several hours into this marathon, I made a chocolate cake thingy from the new Fine Cooking Holiday Baking issue. The first bite didn't thrill me that much, but then Rob made me put a little glob of butter on the top. DAMN, it was good. I just had a little slice of it with my coffee for breakfast, and it has improved immeasurably.
Today I need to go to Moon Zoom. I talked to Abbie yesterday and it was like 25 degrees in MN. I don't want to freeze during Thanksgiving week. I have a winter coat, but I've had it since we lived in Seattle, and I'm getting sick of it. Moon Zoom has stacks of cheap-ish vintage coats.
But FIRST, I have to watch AMC. Bianca had better get her baby back soon, or I really am going to stop watching the show.

Which chocolate cake thingy? I was thinking about making some stuff from that issue for Joyce's shower in a couple of weeks. (I did just make the cheddar-chive buttermilk biscuits, which were marvelous with chili.)

It's the Coffee-Cocoa Snack Cake. Yum!
Is Joyce registered somewhere?

Yeah, she is - I'll send you email with the URLs.
