Five positives:

1. Someone brought in clementines to share in the office today. Tasty AND healthy! Yum! And the peels sitting on my desk are aromatherapy. Mmm.

2. Dosing up on Airborne twice a day seems to be doing me good. I should really start taking a multivit every day, though.

3. Knitting date tonight with lindalee! Yay! It's been too long since we had a chance to knit together.

4. Good recipe planned for tomorrow night! I just hope I can get the stuff I need and get it made in time! Meep!

5. A big project has been taken off my plate, at least temporarily and possibly permanently, since I pointed out to my boss exactly how long it was likely to take me. Good. That means I can get other work done.

And now it's time to do that!

A day that will live in infamy...two reasons

It's Pearl Harbor day, and man, this article brought tears to my eyes.

And it's Tom Waits's birthday.

At times I am verily a dweeb.

Here I am thinking, "ONOES! There's no way I'll have time this evening and tomorrow evening to do all the prep work for the dessert I want to bring to tomorrow night's potluck!"

I can always just skip lunch and leave early, can't I? And it only takes 10 minutes to get there from my place. I'll have plenty of time! Joy! Now, I just need to find those damn tart pans with removable bottoms! Boy, I love saying that. "Tart pans with removable bottoms!" Keen. Somehow I keep imagining tarty boys in assless trousers. :)

I'm really hoping this dessert turns out as good as I hope it will. It sounded scrumptious when I first saw the recipe: port-glazed red grape tarts in pecan crusts, garnished with shavings of Stilton (not mandatory).
