Yes, please stop terrorizing the cabbage merchant!

It's called haggling. Or maybe heckling.

Neither of those require hanging off the side of the cart and scaring the man half to death.
Really, if you're that bored we need to find something else to do. Preferably something that gets us both either out on the battlefield or into a library.

Just had bacon at IHOP with my mom.
Mom's new puppy like me. Brought several clumps of lawn and grass from the outside and dropped them off in front of my bedroom door.
Good opportunities look good in the Sunday paper. I found three available positions. Time to print up resumes.
And it's St. Patrick's day. Need to find an unopened bottle of whiskey.
Sunday morning turning out pretty good.

I called my brother yesterday; we don't talk that often, and when we do it isn't usually a lengthy affair. (It's not that we don't get along; we're just not particularly close.)
To my surprise, I caught him while he was in the waiting room at the hospital, glad to have somebody to talk to. Quite chatty all around.
Then the doctors came back and he had to go. Turns out they rushed him in for a laproscopic appendectomy. He came out of it just fine.
Odd timing, though.

My loaf is going from bad to worse. It's in the oven, but it doesn't seem to be doing much of anything in there. It's not browning or anything that I can see.
And this is why cooks should not bake.
o.O
Soda bread is basically a big biscuit, so flaky was actually a good sign. Unless it wasn't holding together properly at the end in which case it needed more liquid....but that just doesn't sound right about the baking. Maybe your baking powder/baking soda was expired?

Decent TV-Sunday here. Spent most of the morning/early afternoon watching various kinds of skiing, and at 4 I got to see my ol' favourites IFK Göteborg play their third competitive game of the season - a 0-1 loss in the Swedish Cup, but since it's the group stages they're still through to the quarters. Woot!
Also, I've shaved. Better not get too cold tonight, now.

Yesterday, my friend Joel and I stopped by a local music store so he could buy some aluminum picks. They didn't have any, but pointed us toward Guitar Center. Upon arrival, Joel noticed a lightly worn 1960s-era Conqueror baritone guitar sitting on the rack, listed for about $500 less than what it was actually worth, and not an hour after I'd told him that I'd been looking for something similar. That s@~$ just doesn't happen to people. I ended up going in today, selling two of my guitars, and dropping about a week's pay on the thing. In the end, I spent about $250 for an $1100 instrument. Probably shouldn't have spent that much, especially given my situation, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Dude, sometimes you have to do something stupid to avoid being a moron. This would be one of those times. ;)

Uh, sun, snow and 10 degree Celsius?
I once opened the door to a very nice young pair of Mormon boys in the buff and carrying a butcher knife and a dishtowel. They couldn't get away fast enough.
(What? It was a hot day, I didn't have air-conditioning in that apartment, and I was drying dishes. I just happened to have the knife in my hand when the doorbell rang.)
I befriended an American Mormon missionary in Italy. The city I was living in was not a popular tourist spot, so there was not much English spoken. The other missionary he was traveling with was Italian, so he was just psyched to see another American. After we talked about where we were from, how long we had been there, etc. I think the conversation went something like this:
"So, can I tell you about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints?"
"Not going to happen."
"I just felt like I had to ask. Can we continue discussing other subjects? I miss English."
"Certainly."
That's brilliant. (Both CH & Lindisty's stories)
Best I can do; is that that my best friend had a Mormon missionary to stay at his house. Just a pity (or not) that his father lost that Presidential election that you Americans had.
